I lifted this from ncalrod

Your result for The Quick & Painless ENNEAGRAM Test...
1- the Perfectionist your Enneagram type is ONE (aka "The Reformer").

"I do everything the right way"

Perfectionists are realistic, conscientious, and principled. They strive
to live up to their high ideals.

How to Get Along with Me

Take your share of the responsibility so I don't end up with all the work.
Acknowledge my achievements.
I'm hard on myself. Reassure me that I'm fine the way I am.
Tell me that you value my advice.
Be fair and considerate, as I am. 
Apologize if you have been unthoughtful. It will help me to forgive.
Gently encourage me to lighten up and to laugh at myself when I get uptight, but hear my worries first.

What I Like About Being a ONE

being self-disciplined and able to accomplish a great deal
working hard to make the world a better place 
having high standards and ethics; not compromising myself
being reasonable, responsible, and dedicated in everything I do
being able to put facts together, coming to good understandings, and figuring out wise solutions
being the best I can be and bringing out the best in other people

What's Hard About Being a ONE 
being disappointed with myself or others when my expectations are not met
feeling burdened by too much responsibility 
thinking that what I do is never good enough 
not being appreciated for what I do for people
being upset because others aren't trying as hard as I am 
obsessing about what I did or what I should do
being tense, anxious, and taking things too seriously

ONEs as Children Often

criticize themselves in anticipation of criticism from others
refrain from doing things that they think might not come out perfect
focus on living up to the expectations of their parents and teachers
are very responsible; may assume the role of parent 
hold back negative emotions ("good children aren't angry")

ONEs as Parents

teach their children responsibility and strong moral values
are consistent and fair
discipline firmly

(And in good perfectionist form:  The test didn't give perfect results, but I do see an awful lot of me in these results.)
