Searched around and found this test, which says I'm type 6, the loyalist and I must say it's spot on. The enneagram type indicator has 9 types and the highest score in any type is 8. So, I got a score of 8 in type 6 and a 6 in type 9 (the peacemaker), and yeah, that one's pretty much me also. Mix the two together and you have me. *smiles*
Type Six
The Loyalist
The committed, security-oriented type. Sixes are reliable, hard-working, responsible, and trustworthy. Excellent "troubleshooters," they foresee problems and foster cooperation, but can also become defensive, evasive, and anxious—running on stress while complaining about it. They can be cautious and indecisive, but also reactive, defiant and rebellious. They typically have problems with self-doubt and suspicion. At their Best: internally stable and self-reliant, courageously championing themselves and others.
