Your Score: 8 - the Asserter


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
  • figure 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

    Me, scream, curse and stomp around...? /:)

    (But they're being so DIFFICULT!!!!!)

    Mmmyeah. According to this test I must be an utter jackbooted fascist dictator, save that I demand honesty and emotional intimacy as well as loyalty. But then, I suppose ENTJ comes out to the same thing, more or less......? :-? If I claim to be a dreamer rather than a doer then I get 4, the Romantic, which I've had in felt alternation of mood w/ 5, the Observer, through most of my life. The Asserter is just more.....assertive.

    At least I do have a tender vulnerable side, I suppose.......here, have a spear and see what comes out of it. :-|


    Heh. That's some pointed humour.....see, you point it, and then you get humours......flowing out.....ain't that a neat party trick?




    Guess ya had to be there......
