Test finished!
you chose BZ - your Enneagram type is FIVE.


"I need to understand the world"



Observers have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious, analytical, and insightful.


How to Get Along with Me



  • Be independent, not clingy.
  • Speak in a straightforward and brief manner.
  • I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts.
  • Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable.
  • Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity.
  • If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place.
  • don't come on like a bulldozer.
  • Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy.

What I Like About Being a Five



  • standing back and viewing life objectively
  • coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects
  • my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure
  • not being caught up in material possessions and status
  • being calm in a crisis

What's Hard About Being a Five



  • being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world
  • feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all
  • being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be
  • watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally

Fives as Children Often



  • spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on
  • have a few special friends rather than many
  • are very bright and curious and do well in school
  • have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers
  • watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information
  • assume a poker face in order not to look afraid
  • are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict
  • feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected

Fives as Parents



  • are often kind, perceptive, and devoted
  • are sometimes authoritarian and demanding
  • may expect more intellectual achievement than is developmentally appropriate
  • may be intolerant of their children expressing strong emotions

    I have a headache and I have absolutely no idea why I'm still staring at the computer screen after three hours... god. There are just so many things that I feel like I need to write but can't seem to bring myself to do it... I'm just so fucking LOST, and I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing anymore besides crawling under my bed and allowing myself to die.

    As a complete change of subject: Keegan, who usually only works 7-1 so I never ever see her, has worked the last two days on the evening shift. And I have to say I'm glad that she's going back to working her normal days again. Not because I don't like her or anything... actually, that's kind of the problem. I think I really could LIKE her if I spent some more time with her. She's cute and funny and smart... jesus. And also straight, engaged, and has a ten year old son. (Which means she's older than she looks... I know she's at least 30, but she looks my age. Maybe even a little younger. Scary.)

    And another change in subject: I splurged tonight and purchased three movies- A Beautiful Mind, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason(I wasn't really paying attention and I thought it was the first one... the second one is good too, though, so it's okay), and The Brother's Grimm. It wasn't till I got home that I realized that there was a definite "B" theme going on... wonder what that means.

    I really need to go and put this headache to bed, so I'm going to leave you with a quote from the diary sic transit gloria mundi, which reads: "There isn't always time, which is a stupid thing to say since I seem to spend an awful lot of time just sitting here not doing anything, but the thing about not doing anything is that you don't always realise that's what's going on, when you're doing it. It usually feels like waiting for something, only after a while you realise you actually aren't, or else forgot what you were waiting for."
