I spent way too much time on this, so you should take it.

I made an enneagram quiz on facebook.

So, if you have a facebook account, take it.

Then tell me what you got, because I'm curious.

Shit, I need to get back to work.

I took it and got a 4. I can definitely relate to, "You tend to identify with the part of yourself that fails to live up to your idealized self image."

[cebus_albifrons]

That's pretty cool...you've come up as four on some of the other enneagram quizzes too, haven't you?

[reve119]

Yeah I've scored a 4 on at least a couple other tests. I'd say it's pretty accurate.

You are type seven. Your vice is gluttony. You are driven by an intense desire for "more." Freedom loving, you tend to take an egalitarian approach to authority, diplomatically getting around unpleasant rules rather than confronting them or conforming to them. You are the perennial charlatan, liking to persuade, cajole or deceive. Above all else, you like to see yourself and your life as "okay" and problem-free. Deception and denial can get you into trouble with others.

What a great quiz. And so accurate! I really enjoyed it.

Thank you :-)

Hey, didn't I guess you as type seven in one of our previous LJ discussions?

[frozendoll]

I took it and got Type A. I'm not sure if it's 100% on point, but it's i'd say...80% ;)
Are we friends on there? If not, feel free to send an invite: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=706579248&ref=profile

Hmm...there isn't a type A option on the quiz I made...it's all number types...e.g. type one, type three, etcetera.

edit: ahh, I just checked your profile, and you're type one...I could see where that might seem type A-ish on account of the perfectionism ;-)

I am type 5, apparently. I especially agree with this: "You are capable of great concentration and intellectual accomplishment, but fear of engulfment and postponement of action can make it difficult for you to mobilize yourself into action."

[cebus_albifrons]

I could see you as a five. I tend to get along well with fives, on account of having a five-wing. (I'm guessing you'd be a 5w4?)

Heh, so how well could you see the icon I put up? I thought the icon for type five was probably the funniest of all of them...

[reck_less]

Did it say, "Will code HTML for food"? I thought that's what it said and if that's it, it's hilarious!

What does the wing mean? Sorry, I have no idea about the enneagram!

[cebus_albifrons]

Heh, yes, yes it did. I thought it was a fun, satirical, yet apt icon for five :-)

Basically, there's a theory that each type has some of the traits of one of the neighboring types...so a type five will have either a four or a six wing. The four wing tends to make the five a bit moodier and more aware of feelings than with a six wing, also tends to be more iconoclastic, with a bit more of an aesthetic inclination. The six wing tends to be a bit more anxious, also a bit more truly detached and cerebral. For example, Hegel was probably a 5w6 whereas Hölderlin was more likely a 5w4.

Dammit. I would love to take it but with my new facebook account I am avoiding all applications like the plague. I read a couple of the comments/results left here and I can't read any more or I'll crack and take it LOL

Definitely sounds like one of the more interesting quizzes on facebook, though.

[cebus_albifrons]

Heh, well not to burst your bubble, but if anyone on your friends list uses applications, the developers will still have some access to your information. Basically, they can see anything that people on your friends' list can see if your friends add the applications :/
