Seven! The story of my life.

Thursday, 6 March 2008

So, I'm playing along too. You can see what I mean here.

Here is the interesting thing. Its one of my favorite numbers. My birthday has a lot of them in there, so does my SSN, and a variety of other numbers that are important to me. And it all plays well into cribbage, one of my favorite games.

you chose AX - your Enneagram type is SEVEN (aka "The Enthusiast").


"I am happy and open to new things"

Adventurers are energetic, lively, and optimistic. They want to contribute to the world.

How to Get Along with Me

Give me companionship, affection, and freedom.
Engage with me in stimulating conversation and laughter.
Appreciate my grand visions and listen to my stories. Especially when I tell them over and over again.
Don't try to change my style. Accept me the way I am.
Be responsible for youself. I dislike clingy or needy people.
Don't tell me what to do.
What I Like About Being a SEVEN

being optimistic and not letting life's troubles get me down
being spontaneous and free-spirited
being outspoken and outrageous. It's part of the fun.
being generous and trying to make the world a better place
having the guts to take risks and to try exciting adventures This one isn't always easy, but I always feel better after I do it. Ask me about my first phone call home from Europe some time...
having such varied interests and abilities Knitting, computers and wood working anyone?

What's Hard About Being a SEVEN

not having enough time to do all the things I want
not completing things I start Who me?
not being able to profit from the benefits that come from specializing; not making a commitment to a career I force myself to do this one because of comittments, but I'm more like my dad than I care to admit to.
having a tendency to be ungrounded; getting lost in plans or fantasies
feeling confined when I'm in a one-to-one relationship Just for the record, I disagree here, or I wouldn't be married.

SEVENs as Children Often

are action oriented and adventuresome
drum up excitement
prefer being with other children to being alone
finesse their way around adults
dream of the freedom they'll have when they grow up

SEVENs as Parents

are often enthusiastic and generous
want their children to be exposed to many adventures in life Hell ya! I'm planning to shove her into all kinds of cool things.
may be too busy with their own activities to be attentive I disagree here, but I guess if you count the fact that I have a full time job, maybe.
