Personality Test

In the Enneagram personality test I was given a three. The first thing that the it said about being a three was that I had to be impressive and attractive to be happy. The three is also referred to as the the achiever. The achiever is energetic, optimistic, self assured, and goal oriented. To get along with a three is a happy medium of making them feel loved but also leaving them alone when they have work to get done. Three's love honesty, they like to be told when you are proud of them, and they also like to hear how much you enjoy their company. Three's are able to move forward after a set back, we are good at being friendly and upbeat, and we are also good at motivating people. Three's have a fear of not being successful, they also always compare their selves to other people who are more successful.
I think that the personality test matched me up very well, but some things were a little off. I love it when people are honest with me but at the same time when they are to honest I get defensive about things. I have a big group of friends and would rather go out then be home alone but when I have to get something done I need my alone time too. I agree that three's are optimistic, upbeat and friendly because I believe that I am all of those or at least try to be. The three is called the achiever, but I don't achieve to the best of my ability in everything I do. I compare everything I do however to all of my friends and try to be as good if not better then them at the things we do together. I also love to motivate people. I believe that anyone can do anything they set their mind to, and as much as I compare I always like to see my friends and the people I love succeed. Over all I think that the three was very accurate for my personality.

  2. Tess, I agree how you think this matched up but some of the traits don't. I think you do have goals and you're organized, and you like to get things done. I definately agree you need your alone time! But you like to be around people to.

  3. Meghan, I feel like most of the points that it made were pretty accurate of how I am. I think that some of them were not right on though, like I over achieve in some things I do but not everyting!
