@Kate-Flourney I wish you luck, oh brave and noble one!

@Graciegirl *flings cape out with a dramatic swoosh* Never say never. I’m determined to master them if it’s the last thing I do. 😀

@Kate-Flournoy Oh, yeah. The shadow functions.*shudders* I gave up on trying to understand those two seconds after learning they existed. 😛 They are super tricky.

@Graciegirl I’m still working on the shadow functions, but I definitely agree. MBTI is amazingly thorough.

@Kate-Flournoy Cool! I agree, MBTI is undoubtedly the best out there. The practicality of the cognitive functions it is built on appeals to my Inferior Te. It’s refreshingly sensible whereas the enneagram can seem a little indefinite at times.

By the way, I took the Enneagram test and am indeed Type 4, the Individualist.

Oh, and it also said my mental health was ‘above average’ which was frankly a bit of a surprise and a relief all at once. :’D

@Daeus yes it does. It explains the very core of you if you study it correctly, and the combinations of your different functions explain how you act when you’re stressed and why. It’s just something you have to deduce by yourself. 😉
Which, personally, I think is a plus… XD

I do believe MBTI explains how you act when stressed as well.

@Aratrea well, I maintain the superior coolness of MBTI (it’s not a system, it’s a concept) *haughty sniff* but I have to admit that is pretty cool. 😉

@aratrea Aha! So that’s what the arrows are for! That was the one thing I could never get my head around.

@Aratrea COOL!

@anna-brie Authority sounds good.

@anna-brie I’m guessing that your two themes are government and mercy.

@Kate-Flournoy I’m afraid I don’t know very much about theory behind the enneagram, I’m just familiar with the common attributes of the different types. That description I gave for the 3w4 is a list of specific 4 traits that a 3 might also have in addition to their own. If you really relate to that particular list, I would hypothesize that your…[Read more]

@Graciegirl Ha! Those are both me to a T. Or is it Tee? Or Tea? I don’t know. *sips tea*

Man, now I have to go back and retake the test so I can look at those wing things.

@Graciegirl that’s actually fascinating and don’t worry AT ALL about writing long posts because we all do it. 😀
I haven’t looked into Enneagram yet… maybe I should. Because this

Threes with a strong four wing tend to be creative, introspective, private, subdued, intellectually oriented, and can sometimes be moody, arrogant and pretentious.

@Daeus The wings and arrows of you personality type are almost like sub-types. Like Josiah said, you are primarily one type, (in your case a 3) but you can be further identified as a 3 with (for example) a moderate two wing. When you first use the enneagram you have 9 choices for your type, and once you’ve ‘chosen’ from those 9, you can then…[Read more]
