Day 4

According to the Enneagram Personality Type Profile I am a type 8 which is "The Challenger". From what the profile says, Challengers are rather controlling and domineering. At their best, they use these strengths to improve other's lives and become heroic, and magnanimous. I can attest to the fact that I am quite a control freak at times, but generally I do try to use my strengths to either help out the people I come into contact with or to urge them to live up to their potential.
Also in the profile were some of my secondary traits. I scored high in type 5, "The Ivestigator" as well, and this is very true of me because I am pretty much insatiably curious about most everything. I tend to drive my husband a bit crazy because I'm constantly performing "science experiments". Most of the time, they lean more toward the mad science type of experiments, but I'm always investigating the outcome of something or digging for more information on different subjects.
There were a couple of other types that were very close to my main types as well. These were types 1 and 3. These are "The Reformer" and "The Achiever" respectively. Basically all these types together are very indicative of my personality, and I would say that all of this profile describes me very well and also indicates that I'm a good self-starter and could work well in the environment that I've chosen for myself and my career.
