'I once saw a video explaining this to some degree. The numbering is actually intentional, but I only know up to 3. Type 1 stands alone, which goes along with the idea that it's up to them to make the...|||I'm 3w2, gay, Catholic, Libertarian, and oppose same-sex MARRIAGE. However, I voted that I was in in favor of it because I support Civil Unions. I don't want to get married and if I did I would marry...|||My ideal life is the one I eventually intend to lead.  I want to move back to Italy and be a doctor. I want to have a moderately-sized flat with a 6 figure salary. I want to have a good SO, maybe...|||Type 1 Type 2 Type 3 Type 4 Type 5 Type 6 Type 7 Type 8 Type 9|||@mushr00m @Boss @Swordsman Of Mana Thanks for the kind words, lol. I wasn't being serious though, it was meant to be a sarcastic comment. I keep forgetting that sarcasm in my head doesn't necessarily...|||Yes and no. When I first learned my type in High School I thought it was pretty negative and 3s were put off as the fake people who just want to get ahead and climb the social ladder. I wasn't very...|||I'm looking forward to it as well!|||I'm actually working my way through it now! So far I really love it. I'm a slow reader because of the little time I actually have for reading. I'll get back to you either when I've finished or...|||SO: 45 SP: 41 SX: 22  I'm SO/SP, so it seemed to have worked out nicely for me. Very nice questionnaire!|||I'm a 3w2 and in Gryffindor so I guess I agree with your conclusions! I did originally relate to Ravenclaw, but just because in my group of 4 friends all the other houses were already taken.|||Sorry, I should have stated that I was joking in my original post.    If you wanted to win something, then I'm sure you would care where your ranking is. A lot of things in life that you may end...|||Oh, well tell me how you really feel.  The idea that I always win by default is something that I share with my younger cousins, most of whom are ages 9-14. It's a joke. I know I don't actually...|||I let them win sometimes..! We have a rule among us that I always win by default so even if I actually lose I've still won. They take my competitiveness in good spirits... I hope.|||I don't really understand what you're asking, nor do I think you really understand how this works...  Your MBTI type is individual of your Enneagram type. Some types might occur more frequently...|||378, I am extremely competitive. I would give myself a 5/5, but even up to 6/5. Not coming in first place is the worst thing in the world to me. Coming in second is even worse, I would rather come in...|||Hello! I'm a 3w2 7w8 8w7, so a Mover and Shaker archetype. I'm not sure what else you were asking for in your OP, but if you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer them for you.|||Disingenuous, Single-Minded, Emotionless, Aggressive, Cold, 'Sneaky Little Brown Noser With A Hidden Agenda'.  ...But I'm a really nice person!|||Heart: 80% Gut: 15% Head:5%  I mostly rely on fluidity of image for any situation that may arise, but if that fails I pretty quickly switch over to my gut and anger to get things done. I can't...|||SO/SP 3w2 (or SX/SP 4w3 - under reconsideration), tritype 3w2 7w8 8w7 (again, under review)    I usually look for strong, opinionated people. People with similar interests to me who enjoy having...|||Welcome to PerC :D!|||I mean you would have to ask a 7 about that. I kind of expended my knowledge on 7s up there :confused:.  As for your questions, I'm motivated to be successful, not necessarily motivated by success....|||It's type specific because each type uses optimism differently.   You said yourself, that it depends on objective. A 3's objective is to be successful, therefore if optimism leads to success I will...|||Welcome! Always nice to see a new, fellow ENTJ (which is what I'm assuming you meant by Executive) join the forum!   Enjoy the forum :).|||http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDc6dIZ4x0w  Definitely an...interesting take on giving a glimpse of what 3s are like lol.|||This is specifically at my fellow 3s, but any other types can answer if they so choose:   Have you ever felt the desire to try and type yourself differently? To prove that you're not a 3 (or...|||1. I think that 8s are probably most realistic in their goals. From the 8s I know in real life, to the 8s I've read about here, they all seem to have their feet on the ground. Although as a 3 I feel...|||I agree with you for the most part, but Anne Hathaway definitely deserved her Golden Globe. She was incredible in Les Misérables; she saved an almost completely unbearable movie. Her portrayal of the...|||I'm a 3!  1. Veeeeery aware. I always need to know what image I'm giving off to someone.  2. Shame is failure to me. Feeling shame is feeling worthless. If I don't succeed, I feel like I've let...|||There's nothing wrong with acting differently around different people. Not everyone is the same, and they shouldn't be treated that way. It doesn't make one fake to be the best person that someone...|||I think it's really interesting to see that the majority of the 8s who've posted on this thread have referred to themselves as realistic, rather than optimistic. Maybe when it comes down to it,...|||I think our 3 positivity is different from that of the 7, even though it's used to compare us to them. 7s are, from my understanding, positive because that's a means to happiness and an avoidance of...|||I originally mistyped as a 7. In my 11th grade religion class we had an Enneagram course, and as my teacher went through each type I immediately knew I was a 3. However, once he got to 7 he said...|||I agree with you, especially on the pragmatic optimism part. I believe that success can be the outcome of almost any situation that one finds themselves in, if one can remain positive through it....|||I'm a 317, so none of the above, but my sister is a 279, and my mom is a 945, and my dad is a 135, and I definitely see all of those triples in them.|||Febe Swastikas and elipses will be the future of freedom of expression.|||Thank you all for all of your input!

My primary function was Si, followed by Te, Fi and Ne. I also...|||I thought MBTI was Myers-Briggs...? I felt the same way about this questionnaire. I don't really care about finding my type, I just figured I might as well fill this out, although the questions were...|||I'm going to do my best to be honest. I'm between ISTP and INTJ and ENTJ and ISTJ and INTP and ESTP...I'm really confused.   1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type? I'm...|||But I thought I had the right to expression? If I want to show that, I can.|||I'm not sure whether I respect your conviction in someone's right to self expression or am horribly confused by it.  I'm pretty sure a swastika could be an intentional emotional assault. I know...|||So if I were to have an offensive avatar, for example a swastika, and it were to offend other people, you think it would be mean for them to block it due my right to self expression?|||What does each color represent?|||Wait why is this a joke? Isn't that the only way to screw in lightbulbs? :tongue:|||If she's not into being loved then she may not be a 3, because 3's also wanted to be loved for their accomplishments.
