BINGO!

I took this quiz in facebook called the Enneagram Personality Test. As usual, sakto na naman yung results. Alam mo yun? Yung funny feeling whenever sumasakto yung quiz results. Parang napapasabi ka na, "Yeah... ganyan nga ako!" Haha.

Type 9 - The Peacemaker

Basic Desire: to find union and peace
Basic Fear: of separation
World View: My efforts won't matter to the world. It's best to keep the peace.
Childhood Origin: Connected to parental-figures.

Nines are easy going and reassuring. They are agreeable, but can also tend to become too withdrawn if it means avoiding conflict. They strive for internal and external peace more than any other type, and they fear loss and separation. They can become out of touch, and retreat into their own minds and fantasies. At their worst, nines cannot face reality at all and become completely unresponsive. At their best, nines connect with themselves and others. They become dynamic, serene, and present.

Receptive, good-natured, and supportive. They seek union with others and the world around them.
