I’m an 8.
With a 7 wing.
So says the enneagram test now (at first I defied the institute’s testing with a five way tie; they more or less shrugged and said “maybe try again later.”)
Unfortunately, all the worst people in history are my type –– I’m not kidding –- mostly dictators and mass murderers. However, I sincerely doubt that Stalin and Idi Amin actually took the online test like I did.
[At the highest level, though, I’m a MAVERICK — which I like.]
As if I needed another self-actualization/creative/crackpot project, I’m now compelled to read about my numerical identity in this system. I started reading some Gurdjieff lectures but they really make your head spin.
However –– Thank God –– since there are 9 basic types and now I know mine, I only need to read 1/9 of every enneagram book in the cottage, which makes it a real enlightenment time-saver.
More ahead.
