Few days ago I just took an enneagram test on Tickle. After taking that test, it was concluded that I’m a type one of enneagram.

But before I continue to explain about my enneagram type, let me explain about enneagram itself. Enneagram is a method to know what personality that someone has. There are nine types of personality in enneagram, which distincted using number one (1) to nine (9). Enneagram itself means nine-sided polygonal. In personality related term, enneagram is not really a nine-sided polygonal figure. It’s have special lines which connected each point to another one, which means how a personality type connected to another type. Also it’s connected by a circle that connected all points in the enneagram, which means how a personality type can be a wing or affected by another type (usually with a number adjacent to it, e.g 2 with 1 and 3).

I myself know about this test from my friend, Ferdinand, who told me about this test that he ever taken. For awhile I forgotten about this test, however several days ago I remembered this from Tickle. Then I took the enneagram test from there.

I was concluded to be a type one of enneagram personality from that test. It means that I am an Idealist. Then I searched this topic in Wikipedia and found that I also an perfectionist. Also written there, I am fear to be untrue, but in opposite I’m will happy to be right. The description of type one that I found on Wikipedia also reflects to my personality although some of them false and “not really me”. Some of true descriptions about me are I tend to be a perfectionist, always want to be a right one, anger when there are something that oppose with my ideals, over-control over some people (also with someone I love) and to myself.

Although this principal can be my flaws, it can also be my strength. Also written there, I have some positive personalities qualities which are honesty, integrity, not being motivated by personal advantage or gain, ethical standards for personal guidance that aren’t shoved in others’ throats, self-discipline, wisdom and discernment. Some of them are correct for myself, but some of them are not really my positive personality qualities, e.g. self-discipline. It’s back to other people to judge which are true about me and which are wrong.

I also tend to have some qualities and flaws of my adjacent type which are twos and nines. Twos is a Helper and Caretakers, when Nines is a Peacekeeper and Mediators. I also taken some tests from other sites and it concluded that I am a twos or nines. I think it’s not a big deal since they’re wings of ones.

And, hey, Wikipedia explanation also write that I can be a jealous one in my sexual life also over-control over my romantic partner. Whew… I must admit that this one is true. (_ _ !) I just don’t want something wrong happen to her (and also happen to me). Anyway I have been wrong to be over-control and jealousy.

That’s all I can tell about my enneagram personality.
