Your result for The Quick & Painless ENNEAGRAM Test...

8 - the Asserter

Thanks for taking the test !

you chose AY - your Enneagram type is EIGHT (aka "The Challenger").

"I must be strong"

Asserters are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.

How to Get Along with Me

• Stand up for yourself... and me.



• Be confident, strong, and direct.



• Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.



• Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender,
  vulnerable side.



• Give me space to be alone.



• Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.



• I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's
  a personal attack.



• When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just
  the way I am.

What I Like About Being a EIGHT

• being independent and self-reliant



• being able to take charge and meet challenges head on



• being courageous, straightforward, and honest



• getting all the enjoyment I can out of life



• supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me



• upholding just causes

What's Hard About Being a EIGHT

• overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to



• being restless and impatient with others' incompetence



• sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
  



• never forgetting injuries or injustices



• putting too much pressure on myself



• getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when
  things don't go right

EIGHTs as Children Often

• are independent; have an inner strength and a fighting spirit



• are sometimes loners



• seize control so they won't be controlled



• fugure out others' weaknesses



• attack verbally or physically when provoked



• take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundings

EIGHTs as Parents

• are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted



• are sometimes overprotective



• can be demanding, controlling, and rigid

mostly just a GIP

1. Look at my awesome new icon - Courtesy of Jenn's Honest Tea bottle cap = )

2. I am going to Chester County, PA to shill for the Obama man! Anyone want to come and/or offer up a couch for Saturday evening, October 11th?

3. I am also going to be an election judge....for the Republicans. I'm a registered Independent (for a variety of reasons, but mostly out of stubborness) and apparently Baltimore is a little short on Republicans. I <3 my city.

4. I am going to the Symphony tonight! (Yay culture!)

5. In honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day Jenn and I had the rest of the staff go on a treasure hunt through the museum. It was awesome.

6. I like pie.

7. I will be moving at the end of the month - be prepared for pleas for assistance!!

8. I miss the boy.

9. National Book Festival is next Saturday, Sept. 27 (why yes, most likely interfering with moving....but...boooooooooks). Also there will be a Neil Gaiman. I intend to be there and to get my very own copy of The Graveyard Book. (Why yes, the release date is indeed AFTER the festival...hehe).

10. The Baltimore Book Festival starts next Friday, Sept. 26.  Who wants to come up?
