I got this from my friend Taku's journal. So if you want the link, go to her journal. I'm too lazy to post the link. And surprisingly, this actually fits me pretty well...
you chose AY - your Enneagram type is EIGHT (aka "The Challenger" wink .
"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. {...I believe I can do that on my own...}
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. {...Truthfully, I didn't know I had one...}
Give me space to be alone. {LEAVE ME ALONE!!!111@ scream }
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. {GO ME.}
What I Like About Being a EIGHT
being independent and self-reliant {Yay me.}
being able to take charge and meet challenges head on {I do that alot...not exactly a great thing...}
being courageous, straightforward, and honest {Some people say I'm too honest...*shrugs*}
getting all the enjoyment I can out of life {...*says sarcastically* Because there's so much of that.}
supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me {...I guess so.}
upholding just causes
What's Hard About Being a EIGHT
overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to {Heh...oops.}
being restless and impatient with others' incompetence {Heh.}
sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it {...}
never forgetting injuries or injustices {NEVUR!!}
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 {Well, they got the independant part right...fighting bores me. Especially if I already know who'll win.}
are sometimes loners {Tch, whatever.}
seize control so they won't be controlled
fugure out others' weaknesses {Heh. that's easy...}
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 {I was NOT abused. EVER. Just so you know. Alhough I did live in a crappy apartment in Las Vegas when I was younger...}
Yeah, so that's pretty much me. And my closest friends should've noticed it by now, if not, I'd be very sad...
And by now, most of the people I hate have probably noticed some of this, too...
