r/EnneagramTypeMe

Does anyone know how old an account has to be to be allowed to engage in r/enneagram?

I know for sure my karma is over whatever might be the requirement because I've seen people there with less karma than I have. But what's the account age requirement??

I cannot even comment, it's infuriating especially when I opened a new account for enneagram reasons and it's already a month old.

I did not suffer from such a situation in the past when a former account of mine was 8 days old and with like 20 karmas??

1. What’s your biggest fear?

Being helpless, incompetent, weak, feeble stupid, settling for less or getting comfortable when I am striving for more.

2. What’s your biggest desire?

Accumulate knowledge, utilize it to my advantage, learn, grow and adapt in unpredictable environments, honestly and to never know when beaten but also learn when taking the blows.

3. What are you ''the best'' at?

Independent Problem Solving and extensive knowledge.

4. How do you see yourself right now?

A sarcastic, brusque, gruff, tough, gritty, nerdy determined loner who never knows when he's beaten. Sarcasm tinged with chaos and unpredictability.

5. How do you see yourself 5 years from now?

Improve my social skills, build and cultivate a stable and promising career, and become financially independent.

6. How do you express yourself?

Actions over words

7. How do you feel about those near you (family, friends)?

I care about them more than I lead on. I show I care through my actions. I'm usually a fixewr and problem solver, but I have been told that I don't really take people's feelings into consideration (Still working on that). There are the occasional disagreements, but underneath that, there's love and respect.

8. How do you feel about strangers?

They're just people, trying to get by like anyone else.

9. How do you deal with conflict?

Tackle it head on, argue my point and poke halls in the other's flawed logic, but listen to other people's side fairly, but equally take no prisoners'.

10. How do you deal with change?

Alright. Changes are needed.

11. How do you deal with your emotions?

Think it through, rationalize it.

12. What do you hope to avoid doing or being? What values are important to you?

Being the worst version of myself.

Honesty, Intelligence, Logic, Empathy, Sarcasm, Self-Awareness, Integrity

13. What do you hope to accomplish in your life?

I just want to be a good person. I want to fulfill the purpose for which I and everyone else was created (at least in my opinion), and that is to love others genuinely and fully in the ways that people as individuals need to be loved.

14. How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so?

If in the middle of something, slightly annoyed, but just get on with it.

15. Do you need logical consistency in your life?

You can never have enough logical consistency.

16. How important is your image in regards to how others perceive you? Do you want to be perceived in a certain way? Does it bother you if you are perceived in some other way than the one you wish to be perceived with?

It's admittedly important to me, as guilty and ashamed as I am to say that (I'm working on it, tho).

I know my mind. People will perceive me either good or bad. Not really, your actions determine how you get perceived but you can't please everyone.

17. How important is financials, security, and survival to you? This includes having sufficient resources, avoiding danger and maintaining a fundamental sense of structure and wellbeing

Important. If you plan for things in advance roughly, there are less surprises, you can then adapt after that.

18. What is your reaction and thoughts to others' rejection, criticism and disapproval of you?

Indifferent. There's probably some logic to them, but it can also be equally flawed. You can't please everybody.

19. What is the importance of the concepts, ideas and meaning behind things to you? Are you trying to make sense of your everyday life?

Extremely important. Once you understand the crux of them, it makes it easier to understand and derive the meanings behind them.

20. What are your thoughts on expressing your vulnerability?

I try to not show vulnerability or weakness.

21. Would you consider yourself a jealous and/or possessive person? What do you think is the cause?

I don't really become jealous. Granted I may not like a situation or someone is better than me at something but I just crack on with things. You can't please everyone.

22. What makes you feel guilty? How do you deal and cope with such feelings? Do you seek to fix it, or do you dwell on them?

Depends on the situation, I usually try to fix the situation.

24. How do you view and judge reality?

Reality is reality; people's perception can often shift based on the topic.

What makes a person a certain Enneagram type? I relate to the core motivation of Type 7, but I don’t act or at least I don’t think I act like any of the E7 descriptions. It took me four years to even consider being a Type 7 because whenever I took Enneagram tests, I got either E5 or E1. I relate to most of the descriptions of both types, but I don’t relate to the core motivation of E5.

I would say that my core motivation is being fulfilled. I want to have FUN the RIGHT way. It’s very important to me that I live a life free from pain, but in the “right” way according to my standards of what’s right and wrong. I accumulate knowledge because it’s fun and a form of distraction. Plus, I never do anything without doing at least some sort of research because I hate wasting time and resources or doing something I would consider wrong.

To make things even weirder, when I asked my sister to take an Enneagram test as me, her results were E5, with E1 closely behind. When I did a similar thing with my close friends, most of them agreed that I’m 7w8.

I know that type descriptions are usually very stereotypical, and I shouldn’t pay too much attention to them, but I feel too strict for an E7, too spontaneous for an E5, and too “heady” for any gut type, and that genuinely bothers me. Unlike everyone else, I actually want to put myself in a box, lol. I’m low-key obsessed with understanding how I work, and I want it to make sense.

P.S. There’s a meager chance that I’m an attachment type, so I don’t even consider E6.

Which sentence hurts your soul the most?

A) “You’re too much / too intense.” (Heart/Shame)
B) “You’re overthinking it.” (Head/Fear)
C) “You’re being rigid.” (Gut/Anger)

Now rank them from most painful to least painful.
- Most: A, Middle: B, Least: C = 269 (The Good Samaritan)
- Most: B, Middle: A, Least: C = 521 (The Thinker)
- Most: C, Middle: A, Least: B = 846 (The Maverick)

Drop your 3-letter combo (e.g., A,B,C) and I’ll DM you your possible Tritype! 🔥

i've typed as sp/so 316 for a good while, but lately i've been having doubts about sp/so and my e3 core as a whole. i've always related to so/sp, e1 and gut triad greatly, and i think that if i wasn't typing as e3, they would undoubtedly be my core. i'm starting to consider that option now, but the problem is that i'm currently stuck between sp3 and so1, heavily aligning with both and being unable to find the distinctive point for myself. normally core and triad would be my way out of this, but i quite literally am torn because i relate to both as well. im also entj et(n) lie vlfe if that helps
