He was a peaceable sort of bloke…

HT: Peter Kirk

The last personality test meme I came out as a Mystic… what will it be this time?

Peter has passed along a link to a personality survey by the Enneagram Institute that scores us in nine different categories. Whereas Peter scored highest as an “Investigator”, my results show me to be a “Type Nine: The Peacemaker”.

Nines are accepting, trusting, and stable. They are usually creative, optimistic, and supportive, but can also be too willing to go along with others to keep the peace. They want everything to go smoothly and be without conflict, but they can also tend to be complacent, simplifying problems and minimizing anything upsetting. They typically have problems with inertia and stubbornness.

At their Best: indomitable and all-embracing, they are able to bring people together and heal conflicts.

The more detailed description begins… “We have called personality type Nine The Peacemaker because no type is more devoted to the quest for internal and external peace for themselves and others. They are typically “spiritual seekers” who have a great yearning for connection with the cosmos, as well as with other people. They work to maintain their peace of mind just as they work to establish peace and harmony in their world. The issues encountered in the Nine are fundamental to all psychological and spiritual work—being awake versus falling asleep to our true nature; presence versus entrancement, openness versus blockage, tension versus relaxation, peace versus pain, union versus separation.”

Sounds like the Mystic to me… nice to know that these tests are at least somewhat consistent!
