Baaaaaa! I Say.


Stolen from everyone!

the Asserter
Test finished!
you chose AY - your Enneagram type is EIGHT.


"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

    Creepy, no? Everyone I know has said the same, and my experience was eerily revealing. I think it must be written by the same guys who write some of the good horoscopes, they have the gift of saying what everyone wants to hear. Because no way do I believe two questions can nail someone! Although yes, they did nail me. Um. Ok, so that is all... :)

    It is pretty interesting how closely it seems to match with only two questions.

    What was your result? Did you post it in your LJ?

    I was a nine, I think the word was peaceful or peacemaker. SNORF, they should see me this week! But nope, I didn't post it, I tend not to post memes. Just because I'm ornery that way :)

    Hee. I understand. :D

    Isn't it creepy how some of these sound a lot like you? I just took this [and got the same result as you] and I was amazed how accurate it was! Only one thing was off... getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when things don't go right I'm like the exact opposite! *Laughs* I'm usually the one not obeying the rules.. *Grins wickedly* But other than that, it was dead on! It's kinda scary, to tell you the truth...

    Pretty cool! I'd say about 90% sounds like me. :D I don't make a habit of stomping around and cursing, however, hee. I generally gripe and fuss instead. :P

    getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when things don't go right
    OMGOsh totally me. ;)

    I think it is incredibly cool how only 2 questions can gauge personalities so closely. It boggles the mind. :D

    Oooo...it sounds like you! :o) It is rather eerie, huh?

    *goes back into hiding so you can't poison me anymore* ;o)

    [identity profile] eyesthatslay.livejournal.com 2006-02-22 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
    It does sound a lot like me, especially the assertive part. :D

    Hee! I'm not going to poison you anymore, I promise! LOL. I love you too much! :D

    [identity profile] eyesthatslay.livejournal.com 2006-02-22 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
    I didn't make the mood theme, it was made by [livejournal.com profile] mouthfullofdust (as credited on my user info page). You can go to her LJ and get beautiful mood themes & instructions for loading them. :)

    Thanks for the kind comments about my icons. I'm glad you like them. :)

    I did it and posted it in my LJ.

    Mine sounded a lot like me, also.

    Pretty neat test! Especially with only two questions. :)
