the Peacemaker
Test finished!
you chose BX - your Enneagram type is NINE.


"I am at peace"



Peacemakers are receptive, good-natured, and supportive. They seek union
with others and the world around them.



How to Get Along with Me



  • If you want me to do something, how you ask is important. I especially don't like
    expectations or pressure.

    Heh - this is true. I can't stand to be nagged.


  • I like to listen and to be of service, but don't take advatage of this.

    Yeah...I've been used as a sounding board most of my life. I don't mind it, but I
    have on occasion felt used in that capacity.


  • Listen until I finish speaking, even though I meander a bit.

    You saying I don't get to the point? ;-)


  • Give me time to finish things and make decisions. It's OK to nudge me gently
    and nonjudgmentally.

    Yeah, I am slow to get things done, but they do get done.


  • Ask me questions to help me get clear.

    *shrug*


  • Tell me when you like how I look. I'm not averse to flattery.

    Not adverse to it, but I still have a hard time accepting it. I get embarrassed
    and I often think the other person's just saying that stuff to be nice.


  • Hug me, show physical affection. It opens me up to my feelings.

    Oh god, I crave physical affection. It's one of the things I hate about
    being alone now. The only people who touch me now are my son, my best friend
    and one of the supervisors at work. And he's gay.


  • I like a good discussion but not a confrontation.

    Get me talking to my Dad and I can waste an entire day, but I truly hate
    confrontation of any kind. I clam up, and have a tendancy to cry.


  • Let me know you like what I've done or said.

    Not necessary, but always nice. Unless I'm posting a fanfic, of course! *laughs*
    I'm a bit of a hypocrit there, as I crave feedback but rarely give it myself - mostly
    'cause I often don't know what to say other than 'I enjoyed that, thanks for sharing
    it!'.


  • Laugh with me and share in my enjoyment of life.

    I don't often have squee moments, so hell yeah!


  • What I Like About Being a Nine



  • being nonjudgmental and accepting

    I am judgemental, but I try not to be so I usually keep my opinions to myself.
    It can make me seem too placid, I guess.


  • caring for and being concerned about others

    I do care, but I often find it takes too much mental energy to show that so I say
    nothing. Aren't I lovely....*snerk*


  • being able to relax and have a good time

    The only way I relax is by sinking into a fanfic at the moment - but then I feel
    bad for ignoring everything else.


  • knowing that most people enjoy my company; I'm easy to be around

    Bullshit - I'm one of the world's worst conversationalists. I'm not good company
    at all.


  • my ability to see many different sides of an issue and to be a good mediator and
    facilitator

    I have been roped in to play Devil's Advocate on too many occasions for my own
    comfort. Maybe it's cause I can often see the other side of the story, even if
    I don't agree.


  • my heightened awareness of sensations, aesthetics, and the here and now

    Buh?


  • being able to go with the flow and feel one with the universe

    Again, buh? I can go with the flow - semi-subscriber to Napoleon's Battle Plan, I
    guess. Everything works itself out in the end. But 'at one with the universe'?


  • What's Hard About Being a Nine



  • being judged and misunderstood for being placid and/or indecisive

    I am often perceived to be some quiet little mouse....never understood why. People
    get shocked if I swear or talk about things that are slightly racy.


  • being critical of myself for lacking initiative and discipline

    Oh hell yeah - I have neither of those skills.


  • being too sensitive to criticism; taking every raised eyebrow and twitch of the mouth
    personally

    Again, hell yeah.


  • being confused about what I really want

    You mean people actually know that stuff? ;-)


  • caring too much about what others will think of me

    I do, and it irritates the hell out of me. I'm my own person, dammit - I shouldn't
    care what others think.


  • not being listened to or taken seriously

    Again, hell yeah.


  • Nines as Children Often



  • feel ignored and that their wants, opinions, and feelings are unimportant

    ...This is getting eerie now.


  • tune out a lot, especially when others argue

    I do this when the company bores me, too. I used to drive my first boyfriend mad
    when I'd quote something I'd heard, and it turned out to have been him. I'd been
    listening but my interest in the topic had waned so I'd zoned him out.


  • are "good" children: deny anger or keep it to themselves

    My parents have rarely seen me mad and don't know how to deal with it. Even
    now I'll clench my jaw shut and claim there's nothing wrong. Mam always said she
    was waiting for me to get my trouble-quotient in, since I was absolutely no trouble
    compared to my brother and sister - I always claimed this was because I'd seen this
    growing up and decided I wouldn't be like that myself.


  • Nines as Parents



  • are supportive, kind, and warm

    God, I hope so. I certainly try. I can be very cold when he angers me though.


  • are sometimes overly permissive or nondirective

    On rare occasions, less so than when he was smaller. I'm more inclined to be
    strict now, 'cause he's a handful and I really don't want him to grow up thinking
    he can walk all over me.
