Result: You suck and have no confidence, jackass. :( :( :(

At work the fad of the month is enneagrams, little nine tiered personality types that apparently tell you how you cope and what kind of person you are. I sort of think figuring out what of the nine I am is silly, because YOU CAN NEVER HOPE TO GRASP THE SOURCE OF MY POWER, but whatever because at least it isn't vampire novels. Lee and I took tests online tonight to see what we "were" and I got four and five.

Type Four

The Individualist
The introspective, romantic type. Fours are self-aware, sensitive, and reserved. They are emotionally honest, creative, and personal, but can also be moody and self-conscious. Withholding themselves from others due to feeling vulnerable and defective, they can also feel disdainful and exempt from ordinary ways of living. They typically have problems with melancholy, self-indulgence, and self-pity. At their Best: inspired and highly creative, they are able to renew themselves and transform their experiences.

Type Five
The Investigator
The perceptive, cerebral type. Fives are alert, insightful, and curious. They are able to concentrate and focus on developing complex ideas and skills. Independent, innovative, and inventive, they can also become preoccupied with their thoughts and imaginary constructs. They become detached, yet high-strung and intense. They typically have problems with eccentricity, nihilism, and isolation. At their Best: visionary pioneers, often ahead of their time, and able to see the world in an entirely new way.
