Take Free Enneagram Personality Test


I took this personality test and my result was the number three.The number three is associated with being the " achiever". Their ego fixation is vanity and their basic desire is to be valued. Their virtue is truthfulness and their temptation is to please everyone. I scored high in perfectionism,helpfulness and image focus. I scored pretty high on adventurousness as well as anxiety, which may tie together a little bit.

The results of my Enneagram of Personality was not really that surprising to me. I've never done any kind of personality tests so I was pretty interested to see what my result would be. There are many parts of this personality tests that I can see very strongly in myself. The need to be the achiever is something that I can definitely identify with. However, I also believe that the reason I am so apt to please everyone and be the achiever is also due to my birth order, being the oldest child in my family, and being a female. I take truthfulness very seriously. I am the friend you can tell all your secrets too and not have to worry about anything getting out. This ties in with wanting to please also. One of the parts I don't really agree with about this number is all the talk about vanity and wanting to look perfect all the time. I know that I personally want to give off good impressions so I do take care of myself, but I'm not super self absorbed or vain. I can only hope that I don't come off like that to other people!!

That is a cool trait of yours when it comes to keeping secrets. It would be better if more people in the world didn't open their mouth sometimes. It also seems that trust is important to you as well. Is that part more of making a good impression or looking perfect to everyone all the time. Also why do you believe birth order has anything to do with you number. I am sure there are many reasons but I would like to hear yours.

First of all I want you to know that you do not come off in anyway like that. Your just a women wanting to feel and look good for yourself, there is no harm in that. I would say this test gave us a foundation of what me may be but its up to you to decided that.

I can see the birth order having an affect on the personality type. This comes back to the developmental forces of nature and nurture, right. It's understandable that being in a certain spot on the offspring roster might change the way in which parenting is dealt out. For instance, it might be common to find a youngest child getting coddled, or a middle child being ignored. These are stereotypes that do have one foot in reality. These sorts of things could greatly influence what kind of person you become. I'm the oldest child of two. My sister and I share an eight year difference, and I can honestly say that I've often felt jealous of how much more focus and time has been put into raising her. However, I am proud of the leaps I've made almost entirely on my own, and I'm not sure if I'd have been the same person with that much emphasis on nurture.

Birth order is very interesting as well. My sister is a type 3 and she's the middle child. Something about the dynamics of our family really made her success oriented, but I don't fully understand how it specifically influences her.
