enneagram questionnaire !!!
i tried to make as little changes as possible because i wanted my personality to be easier to see through my answers. sorry in advance for any grammar mistakes LOL.
also, if you want to type me in any other typology systems i’d really appreciate it!! i can answer more questions if needed too, since i know questionnaires aren’t always the best way to type someone. i mostly just wanted an outside opinion because i feel like i can barely trust my own logic sometimes
1. What are your views on the good things in life? Do they happen naturally, or do you have to create them yourself? How do they manifest into reality?
i feel like you have to work for most good things yourself, things like money or relationships require you to work for it. i’m a very lazy person and i don’t put too much work into doing much, my relationships are kind of just there. i love my friends and value my relationship but i only just talk to them, i want to be a nicer and more helpful person but it’s very limiting when you’re broke LOL.
2. What are your views on the bad things in life? What are the reasons they happen? How much control do you really have over such matters?
bad things happen because people make bad decisions, or it’s just something random you can’t control. everyone is responsible for their own actions, so it’s their fault if they make a bad decision that causes something bad to happen. some other things are just pure luck and you can’t control it. as long as you don’t make stupid decisions i think you can’t really control other bad things.
3. How attached are you to your emotions? How often do you express them to others? What even is the purpose of such feelings? And what are the biases that impede your judgements?
i’m pretty attached to my emotions, i feel like it would be torture if i was a brainless robot who doesn’t feel anything. i try not to express my negative emotions since i know doing that will cause some people to dislike me, but i’ll express them if its people i’m comfortable around. i guess the purpose of feelings is to connect and give people a reason to make changes. if no one got mad or unsatisfied with how things were today, there’d be so much inequality. my emotions CAN effect my choices, but i try to act with my brain since i know there’s a bunch of things i could do wrong if i acted irrationally. the only time i fully act with my emotions is when they’re like huge emotions like heartbreak or something else. it’s not like i don’t take emotions into consideration when i make decisions, i just know if i rely on my emotions too much i might make a bad decision. i also want to add this tinyyyy bit in here for no reason whatsoever: i find it really hard to hide my disgust or distaste towards something. a bunch of people (aka my sister and mom) come to me for fashion advice, and i’m VERY picky about fashion. my facial expressions definitely do not help either. my sister will show me a shirt that i don’t think looks good and my face will immediately show it. it’s not even like i’m trying to be rude, it’s literally just my first reaction and i can’t really control it. my sister has pointed this out several times whenever we go shopping together. my mom has also called me stubborn because she likes to buy me clothes and (no offense mom) her fashion taste is HORRIBLE. this is why i usually prefer clothes shopping by myself because i feel like i know myself best. i really like expressing myself through clothes and i feel like my style is something that’s very personal to me!!
4. What do you want in life? Are they achievable? If people and obstacles are in your way, what would you do then? With resources being limited, is it ok to acquire essential needs by denying them to someone else?
i guess my only motivation right now is to find my motivation. i have this one quote i said like a month ago and it’s just kinda stuck, “the purpose in life is to find the purpose of your life” the purpose in life can vary for so many different people, some people’s purpose is to make a change, some could be to find love, whatever! i do want to find love and have enough money to buy whatever i want, but i think that’s pretty universal for everyone because ive never met someone who wants to be broke and fully alone LOL. i think my goals are pretty achievable, i just need to keep looking until i find the right purpose for me. if people or obstacles were in my way i wouldn’t know how to act. i don’t see why there would be any obstacles in my way to be honest, it sounds kinda stupid for someone to stand in my way. i guess i would get like pretty sad? i’ve got no clue sorry. i feel like there’s always a fair solution to something so i might try to come up with a fair alternative if resources were limited. i’m not all that smart (besides academics) so it might be a little difficult. if there’s no solution is might try to take it for myself?
5. Are people inherently good or bad? Or is it neither? What do you believe when it comes to moral goodness? What duties do we all have as individuals? Do we owe anything to each other by default?
i think everyone’s born neutral but grows up to be good or bad, depending on their environment obviously. i think being a good person is just being kind, honest, and fair. obviously some people are more morally good than others, that’s just the basics. everyone owes everyone like basic decency. unless someone’s like a bad person then yeah idgaf if you treat that person like shit 😇
6. Are you extroverted or introverted? If you're ambiverted, when do you lean on each side? What excites you? What drains your energy? How do you feel alive when plagued by boredom and the mundane?
i’m ambiverted. i lean being extroverted around people i’m comfortable with, i have a big problem with getting annoyed really fast and really easily. it could be something small like criticizing me over how i act or do something and i’ll hold a grudge and just want to leave the room. i’m more introverted around unfamiliar people and people i hate, i genuinely just don’t want to talk to random people unless i think they’re cool or not annoying. i get excited whenever i can be around someone, talk with them, and just have a fun time without getting upset. my energy gets drained around annoying people, super energetic people (when i’m not in the mood), and when people are just shit talking someone i like. i feel more alive when i’m talking to someone and when they’re really focused on me, but not pushy about it. i like when i can talk about myself without another person being bitchy or too pushy.
7. What people/values/things do you hold dear to yourself? How do you prevent yourself from being separated from them? Does being disconnected scare you? Do you desire to fit in with the world?
i hold a bunch of things dear to me, my bed, my friends, my (not annoying) family, my favorite fictional characters (#imdrooling), and just uh general things like food and pretty clothes and furniture. i prevent being disconnected with them by uh keeping them? i guess with things like my friends i talk to them but i don’t have many resources or money i can spend on them to make them love me 😇 if i had the money though i would totally buy my friends anything they want, that seems kinda pushy though. i can imagine myself saying shit like “oh just grab whatever you want!” i don’t want to overwhelm my friends since i know that’s a thing i do something 😢 i guess being disconnected scares me, my life would be pretty boring and empty if i didn’t have a bed or friends. i don’t desire to fit in with the world, i DO desire to have a place that accepts me though. i don’t want to change who i am just so people will like me, unless i REALLY like someone. then ill probably adjust myself slightly to seem cooler than i actually am. (not really adjusting myself but making my existing qualities more exaggerated)
8. What are the biggest disappointments you have? It doesn't even have to be something that happened to you personally. What is something you expected more from, but it somehow managed to fall short?
other people and romance. i like the idea of having great friendships and a movie like relationship but all of that is a big lie. friends can easily go behind your back and lie, partners can cheat on you and LIE. i always imagine having these great big friends and a perfect beautiful partner but that shit probably is never gonna happen. i have like high standards, i get annoyed easily, i get frustrated easily. it’s all just so hard to work with that while wanting to have good healthy relationships. for friends i feel like everyone trust shifts too much and one day someone can like me and i can be the center of their world, but then the next they have someone else!! it makes me mad. for romance i have to think they’re beautiful for me to want to date them, but it’s so hard to find someone with a good personality and a good appearance… 😢
9. What do you expect from others? Are you entitled to anything? Be it love or materialistic things. How easy is it to rely on others? To depend on something else outside of your control?
i expect different things from different people. just in general i expect kindness, fairness, and honesty. but if it’s from a friend i expect actual attention and affection instead of just small talk and not even bothering to get to know me. i feel very entitled to love and affection from everyone but i’m also smart enough to know that’s a stupid thing to feel entitled to. i want to be loved and seen as an angel just for existing but its genuinely a dumb ass thing to expect i hate myself for wishing that. it’s hard to rely on others, i want to be able to. every time i try to rely on others for something big my emotions get like insanely huge and ill start to cry or like just straight up SOB. this is kinda why i struggle with my mental health because i feel so bad asking for help…. gyulp! but man if it’s something small as shit like asking for someone to help me with a task then yeah i’ll ask.
10. What are you as a person? How do you see yourself? How do others see you? How do you want others to see you? How do you want to see yourself?
i feel like the best word to describe me is contradictory. i’m warm but i can go cold in the snap of a finger, i can be happy but be sad the next second, i can be smart but also so incredibly dumb, i can have huge emotions but also be relaxed. i don’t know how i see myself really, it’s hard to tell sometimes. i guess romantic is how i see myself, not in the super flirty way but i value love a lot and i love imagining myself in a relationship. sometimes i’m comfortable with how i act but sometimes i feel like i’m the weirdest person ever 😇 i already said how i want to look to other people, like an angel who everyone loves. i also want to see myself that way, but i have a lot of problems that i need to overcome before i do see myself that way.
11. How do you organize your thoughts? What are concepts and ideas to you? How do you navigate through such a hazy frightening future? What do you believe are the most important questions one can ask?
ouuu shiii idk. uh i guess i just go with something that i’ve seen work before? i try to stick to the one thing that is proven to work, anything outside the box is kinda too confusing or too unpredictable and could go work so i’d prefer to keep to rules and stuff. i guess abstract concepts and ideas are cool? i don’t personally like them a bunch but it’s whatever to be honest shrug. i’d just rather the world to be viewed super easily like “here this is the meaning of your life handed to you, now you don’t have to do all this exploring and figuring out your life because THIS is what you’re meant to do!” i like the sound of that 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️ i lowkey just trust that things will play out correctly in the future, i’d like to explore things but it takes so much energy that i’d rather just wait until my life just unfolds by itself. i don’t like this last question it makes no sense so i’m not answering okay.
