I think all these tests are better answered by others who know you well.
Someone at work took a management course, and had to study team dynamics. Apparently a team can have any number of "team players" but also needs other types. We had to assess everyone else in the team, guessing what they would do in a particular situation. My colleagues came out with a different answer for me to the one I got when I assessed myself. They were unamimous in deciding my type; it was quite flattering and, on reflection, probably accurate.

A a complete non-swimmer, but a strong and enthusiastic walker and a middling map reader, I would simply find the quickest way to the nearest bridge. I had to do one of those personality tests once, when applying for a job. I didn't get it, but the same job came up a few months later and I had to retake the test. I'd love to know if my answers varied : I'm pretty sure they did, even though I tried to answer as honestly as possible both times. The spiritual interpretation of the enneagram is also quite interesting! www.lessons4living.com/possibility.htm QUOTE: One is a manifestation of the aspect of the Perfection of God
Two is a manifestation of the aspect of the Love of God
Three is a manifestation of the Creating aspect of God
Four is a manifestation of the Uniqueness of God
Five is a manifestation of the Knowing aspect of God
Six is a manifestation of the Faithful aspect of God
Seven is a manifestation of the Joyful aspect of God
Eight is a manifestation of the Powerful aspect of God
Nine is a manifestation of the aspect of the Harmony of God

Type 1 Type 2 Type 3 Type 4 Type 5 Type 6 Type 7 Type 8 Type 9 4 3 2 7 6 6 2 1 5 I did the test, found it really hard to answer many questions Type 1: The Reformer. The rational, idealistic type. 4 Type 2: The Helper. The caring, nurturing type. 3 Type 3: The Motivator. The adaptable, success-oriented type. 2 Type 4: The Artist. The intuitive, reserved type. 7 Type 5: The Thinker. The perceptive, cerebral type. 6 Type 6: The Skeptic. The committed, security-oriented type. 6 Type 7: The Generalist. The enthusiastic, productive type. 2 Type 8: The Leader. The powerful, aggressive type. 1 Type 9: The Peacemaker. The easygoing, accommodating type. 5 I think is probably pretty accurate though, I score 1 for the leader, I am not really an aggressive type, more the artist is seems. So it is a case of "thank you for your job application kronks, unfortunately on this occasion you a have not been successful!" At least I know who I am now!!

Kind of funny I once went for an engineering job and had to do one of these kind of tests. I kind of didn't like that because I didn't really see what a personality test had to do with engineering, I mean for engineering you don't really need a personality, I should know cos I have met a few of those types in the job. (doesn't seem to be a good laughing smilie here). Normally I would basically put down what I thought the were looking for (which is why such tests are pretty pointless) however I don't really like the look of the place and so basically put down what they were not looking for (ie ie was honest ) It is kind of odd that I come out as "the artist" as I took all science subjects and then engineering (as I thought it would have better job prospects). I know the artist is not really the an artist as in art subects (as oppose to others perhaps). I did get good marks for art in school early on before I dropped it, so maybe I would have been better off doing something 'arty', I kind of find I so like writing a bit, as in long boring forum posts nobody reads lol. But generally the results do seem to be fairly accurate perhaps but then again it is a bit like reading your horoscope (do people even do them any more) where you kind of think, yes that seems right, however is had read one for a different sign that would probably seem right too! Anyhow I will keep a note of the results just to remind me who I am form time to time!

Sometimes personality conflicts arise at the work place and having an overview of the personalities involved may help restore harmony. People who score high as type 4 do tend to sense their uniqueness and resist attempts to be "generalised". Type 4 people appreciate beauty, special moments and things that many others are seemingly oblivious of.

I rememberer a particular guy at work I could never get on with, I was OK with everyone none else he seemed a nice person but we were really chalk and cheese.

I rememberer a particular guy at work I could never get on with, I was OK with everyone none else he seemed a nice person but we were really chalk and cheese. Definitely we can learn to bridge our differences if we understand what they. Type 4 as well types 2 + 3 live more with their hearts. That doesn't mean that people with same general personality type will get along. The troubles that arise here sometimes has to do with shared vices or not balancing each other out, but I'll get into that later. Types 5, 6 + 7 are more mind orientated and types 8, 9 and 1 really more on what is called in colloqual talk "gut feeling". It's sometimes hard to put all of this words, but there is a certain logic, harmony and consistency in our personality. The scores of the less dominant personalities also say something. My type 6 personality is extremely weak so planning, scheduling, organising and visualising how things should be in say 20 years is not really my speciality among other things.

It is funny, I think am weak on planning scheduling and organising but I came out high on type 6!! Maybe I do better at the visualising bit, I don't think I tend to plan stuff really, not the big stuff anyway. Maybe I am organised in a disorganised fashion! I think people tend to get on better if they have complementarity aspects perhaps so they can assist/help/compensate each other in areas where they are not strong.

I think people tend to get on better if they have complementarity aspects perhaps so they can assist/help/compensate each other in areas where they are not strong. Germany as a nation is very well organised. I love to play chess and every city has at least one chess club. I always skip the chess evenings where they discuss organising and planning. In nearby Stuttgart there are self help groups for everything imaginable, depression, autism, bipolar, etc.. The US where I grew up is considered a type 3 nation. They don't have one tenth of the organisation talent that Germany has for special interests, help groups, etc..
BTW France is considered a type 4 nation England type 5 Ireland type 7 India type 9

I scored highest on type 4 followed by 5 and 6. I am of Irish descent but was born and have always lived in England. So according to that I am French then English then type 6 don't know which country would be more type 6, however your post seems to indicated Germany? So I do match England pretty well but not so much Ireland (where I have never lived). Can I take it from your post you are German then? Or rather you are in Germany now? But grew up in the US? I did German Language at school, and French Language too, you can see the difference in the languages German is much more organised and indeed things are supposed to be in a certain order ie time manner place. Mind you I was not very good at languages and had to do German in just 2 years which was tough (had 5 for French), I passed both (just). Did you mean like planning and strategy in chess or just club stuff? I used to try and plan stuff in chess but it never worked very well so I kind of gave up on that and played a move at a time. I think Skitler plans stuff though, sometimes I see his devious plans building other times he surprise me. Othertimes he knows I have spotted what he is up to!!

Hi kronks ! I'm largely of Irish descent, but not the original Irish, but the invaders of Ireland, Normans and Danes who landed on the coast of Ireland and drove the original Irish inland. I spent my youth in the US and still have citizenship there, but have lived most of my life in Germany.
Yes Germany is a type 6 nation. I like to go to the chess clubs and just play chess, but avoid the evenings where they plan summer or Christmas festivals and discuss organisation, etc..
I score pretty heavily as a 7 and 8 and 3 follow.

There's no place to pm anyone on here. Actually, I pm'd Lin earlier, but it's not allowing me to do it right now.
You probably already know what happened over at GoB. There's not much that I can do. Fret is a bully, and not a very smart one. There is only so long that I can hold my tongue! I have discussed this with Beth many times, but she's either afraid of him or blindly idolizes him. He's certainly not interested in discussing or learning. I'm not sure why he even partnered on any discussion board. (Well, actually I have an idea.)
How are you doing Chris? I have to find a place where me, you, and Kronks can meet. Please stay in touch while I figure this out.
