Here's what I got for the second test:
Your main type is Type 5
Fives feel ambivalent about the world consequently their mind is usually their best friend. Gifted in analysis and making sense of things, perception and invention come naturally. Their inner world can become a hideaway from the real one.
Your variant is self preservation
Overall, you score highest on withdrawn traits (sp), followed by compliant traits (so), and lowest on assertive traits (sx).
5w6! :D The description seems to fit pretty well.
I'm 9w1 what "wings" do they mean?
subtype 2, the helper yuk, what a schmalzy description.. I'm not as goody-goody as that
I think I like the description of the type 9 personality the best. Sounds so easy-going and unpretentious.
The "wing" is just what personality you resemble second-most. A wing of 1 means you are mostly 9, but have some 1 traits.
cool, thanks for explaining
ok I'm a 9 also. 9w8
Nines essentially feel a need for peace and harmony. They tend to avoid conflict at all costs, whether it be internal or interpersonal. As the potential for conflict in life is virtually ubiquitous, the Nine's desire to avoid it generally results in some degree of withdrawal from life, and many Nines are, in fact, introverted. Other Nines lead more active, social lives, but nevertheless remain to some to degree "checked out," or not fully involved, as if to insulate themselves from threats to their peace of mind.

Type 8 - The Challenger
Taking charge, because they don't want to be controlled
Eights are essentially unwilling to be controlled, either by others or by their circumstances; they fully intend to be masters of their fate. Eights are strong willed, decisive, practical, tough minded and energetic. They also tend to be domineering; their unwillingness to be controlled by others frequently manifests in the need to control others instead
:lol: I like the implications of a combination 9&8 personality, Papaya. "There's going to be peace and harmony, see? Or else someone gets his head kicked in!"
I'm just teasing.
:lol: that's funny.
I'm a 2w3 on both tests...
that is... I'm a helper... and apparently an achiever...

FYI, DigitalCrash, I started a new RPG, if you're interested.
Yeah, I'm sorry, I should probably be there a little more often... I am the admin there after all... >.<
I found another interesting site to go to for this:
www.enneagraminstitute.com
It's really interesting and contains a lot of info
I am currently reading:

I'm a 4w5, which seems pretty accurate to me, I was thinking that this was very stereotyping, but I practically cried when I read the first part of the description, it was a very close fit. It seems to me that I am an individualist.
Quote:
People of this personality type tend to build their identities around their perception of themselves as being somehow different or unique; they are thus self-consciously individualistic. Fours tend to see their difference from others as being both a gift and a curse.
Fours are emotionally complex and highly sensitive. They long to be understood and appreciated for their authentic selves, but easily feel misunderstood and unappreciated. They have a tendency to withdraw in the face of a world that seems harsh or crude, and are often somewhat moody or temperamental. They are emotionally centered and spend much of their lives immersed in their internal mental landscapes, where they feel free to cultivate and analyse their feelings.
I guess I have just accepted that I have been set apart, and that I have a special mission in life.

Passion:
Pride (Vainglory). Pride is the caused by the loss of the virtue of humility. But pride is said to be the root of all evil and underlies all of the Capital Sins, so to distinguish it further, we can also call this vainglory. Vainglory is a pride in one's own goodness, taking a special satisfaction in one's own virtue, seeing oneself only as a loving, well-intentioned person. The passion is not the tendency to be generous and kind, but the compulsion to call attention to one's generosity and kindness. This is "goodness" that calls attention to itself so that they will be admired for being selfless, praised for being humble, rewarded for being self-sacrificial, repaid for being generous, and so forth.
Another more subtle element to pride is the inability to admit that we are hurting, the unwillingness to acknowledge our own suffering and neediness. This part in each of us says "You've got problems, not me! I'm okay and I'm here to help you." But in fact, all of us, and particularly Twos, are terrified that we will break down and people will see how sad and lonely we are much of the time. Not only does pride prevent us from allowing people to see that we are in pain, it also prevents us from letting people see that we need anything, or that we are really trying to get something from others. Pride can also be seen as a fundamental denial of the loss of contact with Essence—particularly the loss of contact with qualities of real love.
