Enneagram! I love it. Kelly and I picked up "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" in July and it has been a trusty companion since. It has a great chart for each type describing Healthy, Average, and Unhealthy attributes - it's helpful for trying to pin down where you are at and what needs to be developed to move up a notch. Photocopy it, pin it to your fridge, and bring those healthy attributes out in every possible moment! :)
It is a good reminder to appreciate my good qualities (and understand my bad ones).
It is just spooky how accurate this simple little test was.
Spooky indeed! I think Kelly had a hunch I was a 5 and going through the chapter in the book made it very obvious she was right. But then taking this test, with just TWO questions it pinned me down as a 5 again. wow.
