According to the survey I am a type seven or the enthusiast. I am very optimistic and spontaneous sometimes a little to much b/c I lose my focus very easily. This was a very accurate survey especially on the negative parts of my personality, b/c I’m seeing words like easily distracted, impatient, and impulsive.These traits can be kept undercontrol and maybe used in some sort of way on the job.
The test went to show that i was a type two, i guess it can be good and can be bad? I agree and to an extent I dont. little test like this can always help you in some ways, to maybe show yourself who you really are. It seems to be that the more questions and answeres the better the out come, and the realer it seems.
The test showed that I am a peacemaker and an enthusiast. The peacemaker is an easy-going type of person that is creative, optimistic, and supportive. I do not like to make trouble or cause problems I am just the opposite I like to solve problems I have and keep the peace. The study also showed that I am an enthusiast which is very true I like to stay busy and productive. I also love to go do tings when I get bored. I feel that I need to stay moving all day until I go to bed. The type description also describes me as being playful and high-spirited which is true except on a day where nothing has gone right I am sure you all can relate.
Based on the questionaire I am a type two the “HELPER”. The caring, interpersonal type. Twos are empathetic, sincere, and warm-hearted. This I believe to be true. I am a very caring person and I enjoy helping people. My over all results appear to make me a very balanced person. My next highest levels are type three the “acheiver”. The adaptable, success-oriented type. This I also believe; I am very ambitious and strive for nothing but the best.
The test said that I was a type 2 and 7. Type 2 is the Helper. This makes sense, everything it said I could relate to myself in one way or another. 2s have problems expressing their own needs, which I can totally relate to because I have trouble stating mt personal needs. Type 7 the Enthusiast. I mostly relate to this because I am a very goal oriented person. I have goals for everything. I also relate to 7 because they are very implusive. I relate to this because when I shop, I am an implusive shopper. What can I say I dont like to spend to much time in one store when there are so many other stores to go to before I spend my money!
the test shows that it was a tie between the helper and the peacemaker. i think that am a little bit of both because i do find the need to want to help people and i do not like conflicts. i cant work or live in a hostile non loving environment and will try to change it the best way possible.
After taking the RHETI test, my strong types are identically Type 1s and Type 7s. Type 1's are reformers. They are the idealistic types who are well organized, realistic and morally heroic. This seems a lot like me, because I tend not to sugar coat things. I like to see all the facts clearly and makes my choices based off of what is based for me given what is available over what I wish was available. Type 7's are enthusiasts. They are the busy, productive types who are versatile, playful and practical. They also tend to become over-extended & undisciplined if they misapply their talents. This sounds like me also, because I love to be busy and in several different things, but if I don’t balance myself well, I can easily get overwhelmed and start forgetting important details. Overall, this test produced results that do sound much like me.
According to the survey i am a type 8, or a challanger. However my highest scores were in type 2,3, and 5. I feel that the ones i scored highest in are very relative as to the type of person i am. I do enjoy helping others, I do believe i am successful and like to succeed in all that i do. As far as "the investigator" portion of the survey i feel is a little off. I do like to know how things work and ways of explaining things but i don't go to far in depth as to get myself lost. Overall it was a good survey and learned a little bit about myself.
The survey I did in class today scored me as a type 1 wich is the reformer. The reformers are the teachers,crusaders and advocates for change who maintain high standards and are known as your perfectionists. According to this survey I believe that it has some truth to it but I believe that all of the personalities listed on eneagram can be found within all of us in some shape or form. It is our goal to become stronger in each one of the eneagram personalities by working with all types of individuals in the workplace positive or negative. The things we can not change in someone we need to learn to change those dislikes within ourselves.
According to the enneagram test I scored to be the achiever. In the brief summary of an achiever it seems to be pretty on point with my personality. In the workplace it should definately help me by the term of being a workoholic and also charming. When starting my carrer I like to have a close eye on all my progress and work ethics because I know that I am a hard worker. I love to impress and make employers feel like they have hired a great asset. I just one day need this chance to show a big corporation my ethics and make them proud of me.
According to the Enneagram Personality Type Profile I am a type 8 which is "The Challenger". From what the profile says, Challengers are rather controlling and domineering. At their best, they use these strengths to improve other's lives and become heroic, and magnanimous. I can attest to the fact that I am quite a control freak at times, but generally I do try to use my strengths to either help out the people I come into contact with or to urge them to live up to their potential.
Also in the profile were some of my secondary traits. I scored high in type 5, "The Ivestigator" as well, and this is very true of me because I am pretty much insatiably curious about most everything. I tend to drive my husband a bit crazy because I'm constantly performing "science experiments". Most of the time, they lean more toward the mad science type of experiments, but I'm always investigating the outcome of something or digging for more information on different subjects.
There were a couple of other types that were very close to my main types as well. These were types 1 and 3. These are "The Reformer" and "The Achiever" respectively. Basically all these types together are very indicative of my personality, and I would say that all of this profile describes me very well and also indicates that I'm a good self-starter and could work well in the environment that I've chosen for myself and my career.
