Read Your Enneagram Challenge
January - February 2023

What is an Enneagram Type?
/ˈenēəˌɡram/
noun
noun: enneagram; plural noun: enneagrams
a nine-sided figure used in a particular system of analysis to represent the spectrum of possible personality types.

The Enneagram is a personality theory describing nine strategies by which the psyche develops a worldview and relates to self and others. Each of the nine "types" has a basic fear, basic desire, and predictable behavior pattern in times of stress and security—all of which shape motivations underlying behavior.

Here are the 9 types:
1. Perfectionist/Reformer
2. Helper/Giver
3. Achiever/Performer
4. Individualist/Romantic
5. Investigator/Observer
6. Loyal/Skeptic
7. Enthusiast/Epicure
8. Leader/Protector/Challenger
9. Peacemaker/Mediator

You will work your way through 8 tasks based on these prompts.

Challenge Prompts:
1. Enneagram Island
2. Traits/Characteristics
3. Careers
4. Self-Care
5. Saturday Night Fever
6. Coffee
7. Disney Princesses
8. Harry Potter

Sounds intriguing!
I'm just about tied for two of them:

4. Individualist/Romantic
5. Investigator/Observer

Technically I scored slightly higher for the second, but they gave me the first one because of the final questions, apparently, lol.

in
5. Investigator/Observer
9. Peacemaker/Mediator

I went back to check the results....I actually was 2 and they were pretty close. I'm going to go with 9 though because that was the highest on this quiz. :)


9. Peacemaker/Mediator 86%
6. Loyal/Skeptic 74%

I see myself mostly as these two and #9 was at 94% but I see myself more of #2 than #9. I'm definitely a peacemaker for sure and I am definitely a giver. Hmmm...which to go with?

2. Helper/Giver
9. Peacemaker/Mediator

Do I have to pick only one? If so, I guess I'll do #9 since that's what the test showed.
