Your result for The Quick & Painless ENNEAGRAM Test...

8 - the Asserter

Thanks for taking the test !


you chose AY - your Enneagram type is EIGHT (aka "The Challenger").


"I must be strong"



Asserters are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.



How to Get Along with Me




  • Stand up for yourself... and me.


  • Be confident, strong, and direct.


  • Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.


  • Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender,
    vulnerable side.


  • Give me space to be alone.


  • Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.


  • I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's
    a personal attack.


  • When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just
    the way I am.



What I Like About Being a EIGHT




  • being independent and self-reliant


  • being able to take charge and meet challenges head on


  • being courageous, straightforward, and honest


  • getting all the enjoyment I can out of life


  • supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me


  • upholding just causes



What's Hard About Being a EIGHT




  • overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to


  • being restless and impatient with others' incompetence


  • sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it


  • never forgetting injuries or injustices


  • putting too much pressure on myself


  • getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when
    things don't go right



EIGHTs as Children Often




  • are independent; have an inner strength and a fighting spirit


  • are sometimes loners


  • seize control so they won't be controlled


  • fugure out others' weaknesses


  • attack verbally or physically when provoked


  • take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundings



EIGHTs as Parents




  • are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted


  • are sometimes overprotective


  • can be demanding, controlling, and rigid

    It's been an adventuresome week! First I finally accomplished wake surfing. That was a lot of fun.Riley took his favorite rock with him everywhere. Carried it the whole 2.5 mile walk and then back again so he could play fetch with it. Unfortunately he lost it on the first throw and had to find a new rock. He's such a not head.Then on Wednesday my mom and I drove to the Portland Expo Antique Show. I bought a cornet which I am very excited about. It was a lot of fun. We left Portland yesterday around 10:30 and headed north for Snohomish antiquing all the way. Then we took Steven's pass to Cashmere and Wenatchee. After dinner at 7:30, we decided on a whim to take highway 2 to Spokane, and since it was dusk and only 30 min. off our path, we decided to go to Grand Coulee Dam and watch the laser show. It was fabulous and a beautiful drive.We didn't make it home until around 12:30 at night, but it was an awfully fun trip.
