I was deemed to be a type 3, "the achiever." I think it describes me pretty well. It was also tied with type 2, "the helper." What I got out of this whole thing was that i am always going to attempt to get to the top (achieve) but i'm not afraid to take my friends along for the ride with me (helper). It compared me to Bill Clinton and Michael Jordan on the type 3 list. Both are amazing americans and have done a ton in their prospective fields. In type 2 I was compared to Mother Theresa, which i found to be amusing, and Bill Cosby. I think i'll go and eat some Jello now. Chao!
I have accepted the fact that i am a type 7... this is the "enthusiast." I actually got 7 dots in the type seven block. I suppose i am pretty enthusiastic. The description also says that I am playful and high spirited. This is especially true when i am at home with my family. It also says that i have a problem with being impatient. Most of this sounds pretty true... a close second for my type was type 3 which was the achiever... i guess that is proven by me being here and going to work so i can better my life and get out of the military. I received 6 dots in type 3. For the most part i agree with these types and that they coincide with my personality
This definition fits me to a T. I strongly agree with this personality test:
Type Eight
The Challenger
The powerful, aggressive type. Eights are self-confident, strong, and assertive. Protective, resourceful, straight-talking, and decisive, but can also be ego-centric and domineering. Eights feel they must control their environment, especially people, sometimes becoming confrontational and intimidating. Eights typically have problems with their tempers and with allowing themselves to be vulnerable. At their Best: self-mastering, they use their strength to improve others' lives, becoming heroic, magnanimous, and inspiring.
Type Two
The Helper
The caring, interpersonal type. Twos are empathetic, sincere, and warm-hearted. They are friendly, generous, and self-sacrificing, but can also be sentimental, flattering, and people-pleasing. They are well-meaning and driven to be close to others, but can slip into doing things for others in order to be needed. They typically have problems with possessiveness and with acknowledging their own needs. At their Best: unselfish and altruistic, they have unconditional love for others.
The Achiever
The adaptable, success-oriented type. Threes are self-assured, attractive, and charming. Ambitious, competent, and energetic, they can also be status-conscious and highly driven for advancement. They are diplomatic and poised, but can also be overly concerned with their image and what others think of them. They typically have problems with workaholism and competitiveness. At their Best:: self-accepting, authentic, everything they seem to be—role models who inspire others.
The Investigator
The perceptive, cerebral type. Fives are alert, insightful, and curious. They are able to concentrate and focus on developing complex ideas and skills. Independent, innovative, and inventive, they can also become preoccupied with their thoughts and imaginary constructs. They become detached, yet high-strung and intense. They typically have problems with eccentricity, nihilism, and isolation. At their Best: visionary pioneers, often ahead of their time, and able to see the world in an entirely new way.
The Challenger
The powerful, aggressive type. Eights are self-confident, strong, and assertive. Protective, resourceful, straight-talking, and decisive, but can also be ego-centric and domineering. Eights feel they must control their environment, especially people, sometimes becoming confrontational and intimidating. Eights typically have problems with their tempers and with allowing themselves to be vulnerable. At their Best: self-mastering, they use their strength to improve others' lives, becoming heroic, magnanimous, and inspiring.
I aggree with the test results. All 3 types describes me.
Aloha my brothers and sisters. In
accordance with our latest project,
the Ennegram test, I am deemed to be a Helper (Type 2) with Achiever (Type 3) coming in close second. It's funny but this test actually came up with the right results. I am a caring, interpersonal, sincere, and warm-hearted person. I am also very friendly and most of the times very generous. As an Achiever, I am very adaptable, competent, and highly driven for advancement. The worst type for me was Individualist which I totally agree because I am very social and enjoy meeting people.
I still can't believe it got it right.
I am a people pleasing person and I get great pleasure in helping people. The test that I just completed couldn't have discribed me any better. I do believe in putting family and close friends before me or my feelings. I get a feeling of completion while I am being helpful to my fellow man. On the other hand I must chozose who I help because there are alot of time in the past when I was used and I felt angry for being a sucker. I do not like holding my feelings back because it changes me as a person. I made a promise to myself not to let anyone change me and I refuse to let that happen again. What I do is let it flow and do what my heart tells.
Level 1 (At Their Best): Become self-possessed, feeling autonomous and fulfilled: have great equanimity and contentment because they are present to themselves. Paradoxically, at one with self, and thus able to form more profound relationships. Intensely alive, fully connected to self and others.The Peacemaker
The easy-going, self-effacing type. Nines are accepting, trusting, and stable. They are usually creative, optimistic, and supportive, but can also be too willing to go along with others to keep the peace. They want everything to go smoothly and be without conflict, but they can also tend to be complacent, simplifying problems and minimizing anything upsetting. They typically have problems with inertia and stubbornness. At their Best: indomitable and all-embracing, they are able to bring people together and heal conflicts. I agree with this because it fits me perfectly to the T: It just fits my personality.
Type Six
The Loyalist
The committed, security-oriented type. Sixes are reliable, hard-working, responsible, and trustworthy. Excellent "troubleshooters," they foresee problems and foster cooperation, but can also become defensive, evasive, and anxious—running on stress while complaining about it. They can be cautious and indecisive, but also reactive, defiant and rebellious. They typically have problems with self-doubt and suspicion. At their Best: internally stable and self-reliant, courageously championing themselves and others.
I strongly agree with the assesment,that I am a type six.Which is pretty scary that the exercise did evaluate my personality,and at the same time being so precise in showing my personal attributes.I am the type of person that sport all the qualities that was mentioned, being hard working is just one of attribute that makes me unique.
The personality test says that I am a Type 3, which is an Achiever. I believe that is right because I always want to achieve the highest level of everything and I want to be successful. I am very ambitious when it comes to my goals and life. I always try to perform my best, and I am definitely a perfectionist. I hate when my work gets marked all over because of mistakes. I was compared to Oprah Winfrey, which is one of my role models because I love that she is successful and that she helps other people. She achieves all that she wants and that's why she is a billionaire. I do wish to be like her one day!
