Enneagram personality typing is similar to other personality systems which are based on a series of questions, and places an individual into a set category. In the enneagram system there are nine types on can be placed into, and are primarily labeled by the numbers one through nine. An additions aspect about the system is its wings: while people are dominate in one type their non-dominate type is their wing. Primarily the enneagram system displays why, and how an individual may respond under various conditions. Myself being an enneagram type One has influenced my academic goals, the friendships I choose, and the cause of conflict with others. My personality type of the reformer presents its self in my academics. To reform is to improve upon what is already there, some may consider a person who does this to be a perfectionist. When working on something, either a project or regular assignment sometimes how one aspect is supposed to be gets …show more content…
That is partially due to finding it easier not talking to new people on the off chance that I will say the wrong thing. Also at times think of several possibilities of how I should talk to them, and have none of them come to pass. Often it is the other person who inevitability starts the conversation. Other times my quiet comes off as either uninterested or rigged to others, while in actuality in most cases I feel the opposite of how I appear. Finding a way to express that to others follows the same issues as the one previously stated, either over analyzing or not wanting to say the wrong thing. Therefore the few people that do become my friends I know I can rely on because they are willing to work with my social issues. Although when I become comfortable with a group of people these problems tend to disappear. While my behavior makes it difficult to make large numbers of friends I feel as though the quality of the few I have largely makes up for that
Thomas Chou's use of Ennegram gives nine personality types to distinguish what type each person is. The Enneagram is one of the newest personality systems to become widely used, and is best known for its ability to identify psychological motivations. The Ennegram provide insights into how other people see the world differently, and it has become particularly popular within the self-help and personal growth movements. The nine types of Ennagram given by Chou are: reformers, helpers, motivators, romantics, t...
I can be kind of closed off and separated from people at first, but once I start to know people and approach them more then I become very open and outgoing. I feel this is a very important aspect of my life, it could be a good thing or a bad thing. One problem that comes from this aspect of me is that it makes it hard for me to meet new people because I always come off as closed off. I see Chuck Nolan as being a very outgoing person and he is not afraid to express himself, that is one difference between me and Chuck, but I feel that in time I could be more open and more approachable as a person like
In my results of The Enneagram inventory, I scored the highest in the type two category classified as “the helper”. On one end of the spectrum, the type two personality is warm, kind and loving with a deep seeded motivation to help other people. The basic desire of one who possesses this personality type is to love and to be loved (The Enneagram Institute, 2016). Type twos are inspired by the natural care and concern they feel for others and are likely to persevere in the area of unconditional love above all else. They are known for being self-sacrificial and often go out of their way to make others feel important.
My personality type is Extroverted, intuitive, feeling, perceptive or ENFP. According to the description in the exercise, ENFP's are warm, enthusiastic and live their outer life more with intuition and their inner more with feeling. This assessment is consistent with the results that I received in part I of the exercise. I am an extroverted person who enjoys being around and working with people.
It is actually the worst side of me that I need to change for good. To be such a passive or introvert person but indeed you are actually a very talkative person is really ashamed. It feels like somehow I am being another character side of me that I don’t even like it. However, in a good perspective way to look at my poor communication skills, I get to learn how to gain my self-confidence privately or most probably in public and to avoid misunderstanding situation as well. There were saying that we need to take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people (Rohn, 2009) and this beautiful words really motivated and inspired me to improve my communication skills. Furthermore, friends and family also helped to build the courage in and out with positive vibes that they have poured
In the past two weeks, I have learned quite a bit about my personality. I have learned that I am a Blue-Gold personality and that I am also a 2-9 personality. The first of these two I found out from the True colors Personality Quiz. I had taken this quiz this summer as camp and got near results to what I did this time. This time I tied for the colors blue and gold, while this summer I scored one point higher on blue than gold. The second of these two types of personality identifiers came from The Enneagram test which uses numbers as an unbiased grouping system. I had never taken this test and it was interesting to see how many of the numbers I corresponded with. My main two were numbers two and nine, but numbers one, four, and six were all
My professional attitude is similar. I find that I try to communicate well with others and express my interest through body language such as smiling, eye contact, nodding of my head, etc. I do to show that I can be personable and hope to build good relationships on that. Based on my scores, I also show higher scores for Conventional, Dependant, and/or Avoidance. This is true in the sense that sometimes, if I find myself too comfortable in a situation; I tend to become withdrawn in order to protect my well being. I don’t want people to take advantage of me, so I become distant after a certain point. This does cause conflict for me both at work and in my personal affairs.
I have a great comfort in engaging others and find it easy to communicate with people. When in a group or engaging with someone one-on-one, I do not find it uncomfortable to engage in a conversation or start one. The strengths I possess in my engagement skills are that I am an extrovert, compassionate, and communicate effectively. However, I do need to work on not always starting a conversation and allowing others to talk first. I also need to improve on my listening skills instead of always feeling that I need to make a contribution to the conversation. Even though I am able to communicate effectively, I sometimes need to remember that others deserve a chance to start an
People that really know me would say that I’m not a quiet person. Even a professor would think that I’m quiet because I did not interact much in the class especially in a discussion class which is because of my culture. In my culture, we would have a lecture class rather than a discussion, so I used to that way of teaching and I would be quiet in the class and it would seem like I did not participate in the discussion when actually I agree and listen to what other people say. From other people 's view, they might think I’m not friendly because I do not interact with them but in the reality is that I don 't what to say or I don’t have anything to say. But for the people who I 'm interested in making friends, I will be the one who starts the conversion and shows interested to
There are various influences on everyone’s lives while growing up. I believe the greatest of these influences is the neighborhood you grew up in. I grew up in a quite large, welcoming neighborhood. While living in this neighborhood, I was outgoing and remarkably talkative. Making friends became second nature to me. Playing outdoors from sunrise to sundown playing sports or exploring the outdoors with my friends became a daily routine for me. I was outgoing, talkative, and active. I believe this is the result of the neighborhood I grew up in.
As a young child I was a non social person, and did not like to participate in anything. I liked to be an individual person, and do things on my own. I was shy and not outgoing like all my other friends were. When I enter a situation for the first time, I have a hard time speaking up until I feel comfortable. As being as shy as I was, my school work was affected a lot because I would not raise my hand to ask questions if I did not understand something, or go to the teacher for help. It was hard to transition from that stage to being more outgoing and talk more with my peers. It was difficult to communicate with others becuase of this as well, i was not able to be the perosn that i really am.
The test has shown that my personality can be defined as ENFJ type. People who belong to this group are good leaders, organizers and idealists. They are good at communicating with other people, finding common language with others, initiating different projects and organizing the working processes. People of ENFJ personality type possess such traits as responsibility, creativity, openness to the world, self-development and sympathy. Such people are always ready to help others and use their experience for the sake of general well-being and success. It is also said that an ENFJ-type person can easily establish relationships with other individuals and believe in the potential of others.
Towards little children I am very outgoing and not shy at all. But, when it comes to people my age or older I tend to be less talkative if I feel like I am in a awkward situation or if I do not know the person. At Erie County Community College I am taking a human interactions class to help develop my skills more and make me less insecure about my thoughts. Sometimes I do believe I am not as shy as what I am on some days. I do find myself opening up more since I was younger but I am hoping soon my shy stage will be gone considering I want to become a doctor one
The first step is to develop a healthy mental image of meeting new people. Some of us see meeting new people as a scary event. We are concerned about making a good impression, whether the other person will like us, how to keep the conversation going, and so on. The more we think about it, the scarier it seems. This initial apprehension develops into a mental fear, which takes a life of its own and unknowingly blocks us from making new friends. Shyness toward others is actually a result of fear.
The reason I believe I was this way, was because of the environment I grew up in. My hometown has about 2,000 people, where everyone knew everyone. Once I got a group of friends established, it really didn’t change a whole lot. I was used to the “same ole same ole” and I had no reason to want to change the way my life was. I realized that I would be starting all over in Platteville, and that I would need to get involved. This meant stepping out of my comfort zone, and getting involved in clubs, while meeting new
