OF STUDENTS OF LAKSHMIBHAI COLLEGE, NEW DELHI WHO ARE UNDERGOING:
The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is an introspective selfreport questionnaire designed to indicate psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.
The MBTI was constructed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. It is based on the typological theory proposed by Carl Jung who had speculated that there are four principal psychological functions by which humans experience the world – sensation, intuition, feeling, and thinking – and that one of these four functions is dominant for a person most of the time. The MBTI was constructed for normal populations and emphasizes the value of naturally occurring differences. "The underlying assumption of the MBTI is that we all have specific preferences in the way we construe our experiences, and these preferences underlie our interests, needs, values, and motivation."
MBTI Tests are popular and are routinely taken by people who are in the business sector where it is particularly more popular. The four scales used in the MBTI have some correlation with four of the Big Five personality traits, which are a more commonly accepted framework.
The Enneagram of Personality, or simply the Enneagram, is a model of human personality which is principally understood and taught as a typology of nine interconnected personality types. The Enneagram of Personality has been widely promoted in both business management and spiritual contexts. In business contexts it is generally used as a typology to gain insights into workplace dynamics; in spirituality it is more commonly presented as a path to higher states of being, essence, and enlightenment. It has been described as a method for self-understanding and self-development.
These Reports can be of immense help to the students in understanding their ‗Personality type,‘ ‗the nature of the insights they have‘ with regard to various aspect of both personal and professional life. They have multiple uses: It can be helpful for a student in choosing his career. This also is an indicator of the qualities, tastes and traits one has inside him or her. This also enables a person to work upon these traits and modify them to his or her advantage especially while pursuing one‘s passion and dreams because it gives vital information of the specifics where one need to enhance various identified parameters that are required for different identified goals of people.
For the college, it can be a very vital tool if it wants to develop their students holistically and specifically. It is a great tool in Mentoring of students especially if the college wants to handhold the student till he or she leaves the college as it gives specific insight into the personality and other traits of the student concerned and draw ―Individual Development Programme‖ for individual students to ensure that the student makes up the ‗deficiencies‘ indicated in the report.
We had conducted the online MBTI and Enneagram tests of the students and their test reports may be seen below. Considering the fact that quite a few students in the group actually want to pursue entrepreneurship, we can help them to enhance certain parameters that are required for becoming successful entrepreneurs. This, however may require generating a more specific Report and these come with the specific intervention with the person concerned through one to one discussion. In order to give you a flavor of such a report, we place below a RAR or Response Analysis Report or Simran, the student who has been showing huge passion on
Entrepreneurship.
Response Analysis Report of Ms Simran
Simran is a girl with high values. She looks at problems as challenges to be overcome and that is the best part about her. Her confidence levels are high and her belief in herself is also noteworthy. She is a dedicated person when it comes to her close circles and needs no prompting when it comes to her sense of responsibility towards her close social circles.
However her confidence and self-belief could be read as arrogance. She tends to be a bit emotional and at times seem to get carried away with it. Should she extend her sense of responsibilities to her work environment she would be unstoppable in her career tracks. Although she would want to be an entrepreneur ―eventually,‖ she wanted to work to gather ‗experience in business as an employee in the role ‗of an intrapreneur,‘ Simran has all the makeup of an entrepreneur. Given a chance to nourish her innovative and out of the box thinking, indications are that she could garner strength in these areas without much difficulties. CARVING TALENT. NOTE: The shelf life of this report is six months given the nature of the human to evolve. It is sincerely recommended that don‘t go by the analysis 100%. We believe it is only you who knows yourself the best. Therefore, should you disagree with any of the analysis please feel free to revisit the trait with a well- wisher. The analysis has been done at the behest of the individual & intended to be helpful in making evolution of the individual better and faster. Any fall out by the means of interpreting the report is not the responsibility of CARVING TELENT or the assessor. The report is purely advisory in nature.
It may be noted that the initiative of the College in conducting this EDP training most likely would entail good results especially at a time when the SKILL INDIA and MAKE IN INDIA initiatives of the Honourable Prime Minister are gathering steam. This would also possibly help the college to set up a permanent Entrepreneur Development Cell in the college and make it a hub in this respect to attract more students. A concerted effort in this direction with the help of CARVING Talent which is a designated partner of NIESBUD that comes under the Skill Ministry, Government of India would also give the students of the college to tap the resources, including seed capital, knowhow and other supports for setting up their venture through various central governmental initiatives in this direction. The current Programme also as we know would enable the students to receive a Government of India Certificate that would give them recognition and attention even if they want to choose a career path in startups or in established business which are hungry for their employees ‗to work like employers!‖

ESFP: The Performer If you’ve arrived at this page without taking the MBTI test you can take the test atthis link. ESFP (extraverted, sensing, feeling, perceiving) is one of the 16 personality types identified by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. People with ESFP personality types are often described as spontaneous, resourceful and outgoing. According to psychologist David Keirsey, the developer of the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, approximately four to ten percent of all people have an ESFP personality type. ESFP Characteristics The MBTI looks at personality preferences in four key areas: 1) Extraversion vs Introversion, 2) Sensing vs Intuition, 3) Thinking vs Feeling and 4) Judging vs Perceiving. As you‘ve probably already guessed, the acronym ESFP represents Extraversion, Sensing, Feeling and Perceiving. o
Extraversion: ESFPs enjoy interacting with other people and feel energized after they spend time socializing.
o
Sensing: ESFPs prefer to focus on the here-and-now rather than thinking about the distant future. They also prefer learning about concrete facts rather than theoretical ideas.
o
Feeling: ESFPs place a greater emphasis personal feelings rather than logic and facts when making decisions.
o
Perceiving: ESFPs don‘t spend a lot of time planning and organizing. Instead, they like to keep their options open. Some common ESFP characteristics include:
Optimistic
Practical
Seeks out new experiences
Spontaneous and sometimes impulsive
Like facts and concrete information
Dislikes theories and abstract information
Gregarious
Enjoys people and socializing
Focused on the present
Like variety, dislikes monotony ESFPs tend to be very practical and resourceful. They prefer to learn through hands-on experience and tend to dislike book learning and theoretical discussions. Because of this, students with ESFP personality types sometimes struggle in traditional classroom settings. However, they excel in situations where they are allowed to interact with others or learn through direct experience. When solving problems, they trust their instincts and put trust in their own abilities to come up with a solution. While they are reasonable and pragmatic,
they dislike structure, order and planning. Instead they act spontaneously and do not spend a great deal of time coming up with a plan or schedule. As extraverts, ESFPs enjoy spending time with other people and have excellent interpersonal skills. They are good at understanding how other people are feelings and are able to respond to other people‘s emotions in productive ways. For this reason, ESFPs can make good leaders and have a knack for mobilizing, motivating and persuading group members. ESFPs are often described as warm, kind and thoughtful, making them popular and well-liked by others. ESFPs enjoy meeting new people, but they also have a thirst for new experiences. They are generally focused on the present and will often be the first person to try the newest ride at an amusement park or try out a new adventure sport.
Famous ESFPs Researchers suggest that some of the following famous individuals exhibit characteristics consistent with the ESFP personality type:
Bill Clinton, U.S. President
Ronald Reagan, U.S. President
Bob Hope, actor
Marilyn Monroe, actress
Pablo Picasso, artist
Woody Harrelson, actor
Goldie Hawn, actress
Saint Mark, apostle
Some fictional characters that with ESFP characteristics include:
Homer Simpson, The Simpsons
Tim ―The Toolman‖ Taylor, Home Improvement
Peter Griffin, Family Guy
Clementine Kruczynski, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Best Career Choices for ESFPs With their strong dislike for routine, ESFPs do best in careers that involve a lot of variety. Jobs that involve a great deal of socializing are also a great fit, allowing individuals with this personality type to put their considerable people skills to good use. Careers that involve a great deal of structure and solitary work can be difficult for ESFPs, and they often become bored in such situations. A few possible career choices for ESFPs include:
Artist
Actor
Counselor
Social Worker
Athletic coach
Child care provider
Musician
Psychologist
Human resources specialist
Fashion designer
ENNEGRAM TEST
Type 8: The boss, the challenger If you’ve arrived at this page without taking the Enneagram Personality Test, you can take the test at this link.
The Powerful, Dominating Type: Self-Confident, Decisive, Willful, and Confrontational
En Español: Tipo de Personalidad Ocho, El Desafiador
In het Nederlands: Persoonlijkheidstype Acht, de Uitdager For more about the meaning of the arrows, see below. Type Eight in Brief Eights are self-confident, strong, and assertive. Protective, resourceful, straighttalking, and decisive, but can also be ego-centric and domineering. Eights feel they must control their environment, especially people, sometimes becoming confrontational and intimidating. Eights typically have problems with their
tempers and with allowing themselves to be vulnerable.At their Best: selfmastering, they use their strength to improve others‘ lives, becoming heroic, magnanimous, and inspiring.
Basic Fear: Of being harmed or controlled by others
Basic Desire: To protect themselves (to be in control of their own life and destiny)
Enneagram Eight with a Seven-Wing: ―The Maverick‖
Enneagram Eight with a Nine-Wing: ―The Bear‖ Key Motivations: Want to be self-reliant, to prove their strength and resist weakness, to be important in their world, to dominate the environment, and to stay in control of their situation. The Meaning of the Arrows (in brief) When moving in their Direction of Disintegration (stress), self-confident Eights suddenly become secretive and fearful at Five. However, when moving in their Direction of Integration (growth), lustful, controlling Eights become more openhearted and caring, like healthy Twos. Examples: Martin Luther King, Jr., Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson,Mikhail Gorbachev, G.I. Gurdjieff, Pablo Picasso, Richard Wagner, Sean Connery, Susan Sarandon, Glenn Close, John Wayne, Charlton Heston,Norman Mailer, Mike Wallace, Barbara Walters, Ann Richards, Toni Morrison,Lee Iococca, Donald Trump, Frank Sinatra, Bette Davis, Roseanne Barr,James Brown, Chrissie Hynde, Courtney Love, Leona Helmsley, Sigourney Weaver, Fidel Castro, Saddham Hussein, and John McCain. Type Eight Overview We have named personality type Eight The Challenger because, of all the types, Eights enjoy taking on challenges themselves as well as giving others opportunities
that challenge them to exceed themselves in some way. Eights are charismatic and have the physical and psychological capacities to persuade others to follow them into all kinds of endeavors—from starting a company, to rebuilding a city, to running a household, to waging war, to making peace. Eights have enormous willpower and vitality, and they feel most alive when they are exercising these capacities in the world. They use their abundant energy to effect changes in their environment—to ―leave their mark‖ on it—but also to keep the environment, and especially other people, from hurting them and those they care about. At an early age, Eights understand that this requires strength, will, persistence, and endurance—qualities that they develop in themselves and which they look for in others. Thayer is a stockbroker who has worked intensively on understanding her type Eight personality. She recounts a childhood incident in which she could clearly see the development of this pattern. ―Much of my tenacity and toughness comes from my Dad. He always told me not to ‗let anybody push you around.‘ It was not okay to cry. I learned to master my weaker side early on. At the tender age of eight, a huge horse ran away with me. When an adult caught the horse, I resolutely dismounted without a tear. I could tell my father was proud.‖ Eights do not want to be controlled or to allow others to have power over them (their Basic Fear), whether the power is psychological, sexual, social, or financial. Much of their behavior is involved with making sure that they retain and increase whatever power they have for as long as possible. An Eight may be a general or a
gardener, a small businessman or a mogul, the mother of a family or the superior of a religious community. No matter: being ―in charge‖ and leaving their imprint on their sphere is uniquely characteristic of them. Eights are the true ―rugged individualists‖ of the Enneagram. More than any other type, they stand alone. They want to be independent, and resist being indebted to anyone. They often refuse to ―give in‖ to social convention, and they can defy fear, shame, and concern about the consequences of their actions. Although they are usually aware of what people think of them, they do not let the opinions of others sway them. They go about their business with a steely determination that can be awe inspiring, even intimidating to others. Although, to some extent, Eights fear physical harm, far more important is their fear of being disempowered or controlled in some way. Eights are extraordinarily tough and can absorb a great deal of physical punishment without complaint—a double-edged blessing since they often take their health and stamina for granted and overlook the health and well-being of others as well. Yet they are desperately afraid of being hurt emotionally and will use their physical strength to protect their feelings and keep others at a safe emotional distance. Beneath the tough façade is vulnerability, although it has been covered over by layer of emotional armor. Thus, Eights are often extremely industrious, but at the price of losing emotional contact with many of the people in their lives. Those close to them may become increasingly dissatisfied with this state of affairs, which confounds Eights. (―I don‘t understand what my family is complaining about. I bust my hump to provide for them. Why are they disappointed with me?‖) When this happens, Eights feel misunderstood and may distance themselves
further. In fact, beneath their imposing exterior, Eights often feel hurt and rejected, although this is something they seldom talk about because they have trouble admitting their vulnerability to themselves, let alone to anyone else. Because they fear that they will be rejected (divorced, humiliated, criticized, fired, or harmed in some way), Eights attempt to defend themselves by rejecting others first. The result is that average Eights become blocked in their ability to connect with people or to love since love gives the other power over them, reawakening their Basic Fear. The more Eights build up their egos in order to protect themselves, the more sensitive they become to any real or imaginary slight to their self-respect, authority, or preeminence. The more they attempt to make themselves impervious to hurt or pain (whether physical or emotional), the more they ―shut down‖ emotionally to become hardened and rock-like. When Eights are emotionally healthy, however, they have a resourceful, ―can-do‖ attitude as well as a steady inner drive. They take the initiative and make things happen with a great passion for life. They are honorable and authoritative— natural leaders who have a solid, commanding presence. Their groundedness gives them abundant ―common sense‖ as well as the ability to be decisive. Eights are willing to ―take the heat,‖ knowing that any decision cannot please everyone. But as much as possible, they want to look after the interests of the people in their charge without playing favorites. They use their talents and fortitude to construct a better world for everyone in their lives.

INFP: The Idealist INFP (introversion, intuition, feeling, perception) is a four-letter abbreviation for one of the 16 personality types identified by the MyersBriggs Type Indicator. The INFP personality type is often described as an ―idealist‖ personality. People with this kind of personality tend to be introverted, idealistic, creative and driven by high values. Learn more about the characteristics the INFP personality in this brief overview of this personality type.
INFP Characteristics The MBTI works by indicating your personality preferences and tendencies in the following areas: 1) Extraversion vs Introversion, 2) Sensing vs Intuition, 3) Thinking vs Feeling and 4) Judging vs Perceiving. As you might have already guessed, the four-letter code for this personality type stands for Introversion, Intuition,Feeling and Perceiving. o
Introversion (I): How do you relate to the world and focus your energy?
o
Intuition (N): How do you perceive information?
o
Feeling (F): How do you make decisions?
o
Perceiving (P): How to you orient yourself to the outside world?
Some of the main characteristics of the INFP personality include:
Loyal and devoted
Sensitive to feelings
Warm, caring and interested in other people
Strong written communication skills
Prefers to work alone
Values close relationships
Focuses on the ―big picture‖ rather than the details INFPs tend to be introverted, quiet and reserved. Being in social situations tends to drain their energy and they prefer interacting with a select group of close friends. While they like to be alone, this should not necessarily be confused with shyness. Instead, it simply means that INFPs gain energy from spending time alone. On the other hand, they have to expend energy in social situations. INFPS typically rely on intuition and are more focused on the big picture rather than the nitty-gritty details. They can be quite meticulous about things they really care about or projects they are working on, but tend to ignore mundane or boring details. INFPs place an emphasis on personal feelings and their decisions are more influenced by these concerns rather than by objective information. They also dislike conflict and try to avoid it. When conflicts or arguments do arise, they usually focus more on how the conflict makes them feel rather than the actual details of the argument. During arguments, they might seem overly emotional or even irrational. However, they can also be good mediators by helping the people involved in a conflict identify and express their feelings. When it comes to making decisions, INFPs like to keep their options open. They often delay making important decisions just in case
something about the situation changes. When decisions are made, they are usually based on personal values rather than logic. Because they are so reserved and private, it can be difficult for other people to get to know INFPs. They tend to be quite devoted to their circle of close friends and family and place a high importance on the feelings and emotions of their loved ones. Much of their energy is focused inward and characterized by intense feelings and strong values. They tend to be very loyal to the people they love and to beliefs and causes that are important to them. INFPs tend to be very creative, artistic and spiritual. They are often skilled with language, but may prefer to express their thoughts and feelings through writing. Because they have strong ethics and values, they also become passionate about advocating or defending their beliefs. While they feel strongly about their own values, INFPs are also interested in learning more about others and are willing to listen and consider many sides of an issue. INFPs also have strong interests in making the world a better place. In addition to wanting to gain a greater understanding of themselves and how they fit into the world, they are also interested in how they can best help others. People with this personality type spend a lot of time exploring their own purpose in life and thinking about how they can use their skills and talents to best serve humanity. [mbti – up]

Type 6: The loyalist, the guardian
The Committed, SecurityOriented Type: Engaging, Responsible, Anxious, and Suspicious For more about the meaning of the arrows, see below. Type Six in Brief
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.
Basic Fear: Of being without support and guidance
Basic Desire: To have security and support
Enneagram Six with a Five-Wing: ―The Defender‖
Enneagram Six with a Seven-Wing: ―The Buddy‖ Key Motivations: Want to have security, to feel supported by others, to have certitude and reassurance, to test the attitudes of others toward them, to fight against anxiety and insecurity.
The Meaning of the Arrows (in brief) When moving in their Direction of Disintegration (stress), dutiful Sixes suddenly become competitive and arrogant at Three. However, when moving in their Direction of Integration (growth), fearful, pessimistic Sixes become more relaxed and optimistic, like healthy Nines. Examples: Robert F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Princess Diana, George H. W. Bush, Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen, Candice Bergen, Gilda Radner, Meg Ryan, Helen Hunt, Mel Gibson, Patrick Swayze, Julia Roberts, Phil Donahue,Jay Leno, John Goodman, Diane Keaton, Woody Allen, David Letterman,Andy Rooney, Jessica Lange, Tom Clancy, J. Edgar Hoover, Richard Nixon, and ―George Costanza‖ (Seinfeld). Type Six Overview
We have named personality type Six The Loyalist because, of all the personality types, Sixes are the most loyal to their friends and to their
beliefs. They will ―go down with the ship‖ and hang on to relationships of all kinds far longer than most other types. Sixes are also loyal to ideas, systems, and beliefs—even to the belief that all ideas or authorities should be questioned or defied. Indeed, not all Sixes go along with the ―status quo‖: their beliefs may be rebellious and anti-authoritarian, even revolutionary. In any case, they will typically fight for their beliefs more fiercely than they will fight for themselves, and they will defend their community or family more tenaciously than they will defend themselves. The reason Sixes are so loyal to others is that they do not want to be abandoned and left without support—their Basic Fear. Thus, the central issue for type Six is a failure of self-confidence. Sixes come to believe that they do not possess the internal resources to handle life‘s challenges and vagaries alone, and so increasingly rely on structures, allies, beliefs, and supports outside themselves for guidance to survive. If suitable structures do not exist, they will help create and maintain them. Sixes are the primary type in the Thinking Center, meaning that they have the most trouble contacting their own inner guidance. As a result, they do not have confidence in their own minds and judgments. This does not mean that they do not think. On the contrary, they think— and worry—a lot! They also tend to fear making important decisions, although at the same time, they resist having anyone else make decisions for them. They want to avoid being controlled, but are also afraid of taking responsibility in a way that might put them ―in the line of
fire.‖ (The old Japanese adage that says, ―The blade of grass that grows too high gets chopped off‖ relates to this idea.) Sixes are always aware of their anxieties and are always looking for ways to construct ―social security‖ bulwarks against them. If Sixes feel that they have sufficient back up, they can move forward with some degree of confidence. But if that crumbles, they become anxious and self-doubting, reawakening their Basic Fear. (―I‘m on my own! What am I going to do now?‖) A good question for Sixes might therefore be: ―When will I know that I have enough security?‖ Or, to get right to the heart of it, ―What is security?‖ Without Essential inner guidance and the deep sense of support that it brings, Sixes are constantly struggling to find firm ground. Sixes attempt to build a network of trust over a background of unsteadiness and fear. They are often filled with a nameless anxiety and then try to find or create reasons why. Wanting to feel that there is something solid and clear-cut in their lives, they can become attached to explanations or positions that seem to explain their situation. Because ―belief‖ (trust, faith, convictions, positions) is difficult for Sixes to achieve, and because it is so important to their sense of stability, once they establish a trustworthy belief, they do not easily question it, nor do they want others to do so. The same is true for individuals in a Six‘s life: once Sixes feel they can trust someone, they go to great lengths to maintain connections with the person who acts as a sounding board, a mentor, or a regulator for the Six‘s emotional reactions and
behavior. They therefore do everything in their power to keep their affiliations going. (―If I don‘t trust myself, then I have to find something in this world I can trust.‖) Although intelligent and accomplished, Connie still has to wrestle with the self-doubt of her type: ―As my anxiety has come under control, so has my need to ‗check out‘ everything with my friends. I used to have to get the nod of approval from several hundred (just joking!) ‗authorities.‘ About nearly every decision would involve a council of my friends. I usually would do this one on one: ‗What do you think, Mary?‘ ‗If I do this, then that might happen.‘ Please make up my mind for me!‘…Recently, I‘ve narrowed my authorities to just one or two trusted friends, and on occasion, I‘ve actually made up my own mind!― Until they can get in touch with their own inner guidance, Sixes are like a ping-pong ball that is constantly shuttling back and forth between whatever influence is hitting the hardest in any given moment. Because of this reactivity, no matter what we say about Sixes, the opposite is often also as true. They are both strong and weak, fearful and courageous, trusting and distrusting, defenders and provokers, sweet and sour, aggressive and passive, bullies and weaklings, on the defensive and on the offensive, thinkers and doers, group people and soloists, believers and doubters, cooperative and obstructionistic, tender and mean, generous and petty—and on and on. It is the contradictory picture that is the characteristic ―fingerprint‖ of Sixes, the fact that they are a bundle of opposites.
The biggest problem for Sixes is that they try to build safety in the environment without resolving their own emotional insecurities. When they learn to face their anxieties, however, Sixes understand that although the world is always changing and is, by nature uncertain, they can be serene and courageous in any circumstance. And they can attain the greatest gift of all, a sense of peace with themselves despite the uncertainties of life. (from The Wisdom of the Enneagram, p. 235-236) Next Actions
Do you love entertaining people in the comfort of your home?
Do you prefer to have a day full of activities and hate having free time as you are not sure how to spend it?
Do you find it difficult to make decisions, preferring others to do it for you?
Do you prefer an authoritarian boss who lays out very strict rules for you to follow rather than a more laid back boss who likes delegating responsibility and decision making to you? If you fit into this personality type, try these tips:
Avoid procrastination by setting yourself deadlines for achievement of specific goals.
Don’t avoid a task just because the instructions are confusing – instead, ask for clarification.
Seek feedback from a group of trusted friends and family so that you can deal with your self confidence issues. Having a strong conscience and being faithful to others is preferable to being helpless and unsure of yourself.

People with this personality type are often described as warm, outgoing, loyal and sensitive. Psychologist David Keirsey suggests that approximately two to five percent of all people have an ENFJ personality.

Feeling: ENFJs place a stronger emphasis on personal, subject considerations rather than objective criteria when making decisions. How a decision will impact others is often a primary concern.

Type Seven Overview We have named this personality type The Enthusiast because Sevens are enthusiastic about almost everything that catches their attention. They approach life with curiosity, optimism, and a sense of adventure, like ―kids in a candy store‖ who look at the world in wide-eyed, rapt anticipation of all the good things they are about to experience. They are bold and vivacious, pursuing what they want in life with a cheerful determination. They have a quality best described by the Yiddish word ―chutzpah‖—a kind of brash ―nerviness.‖ Although Sevens are in the Thinking Center, this is not immediately apparent because they tend to be extremely practical and engaged in a multitude of projects at any given time. Their thinking is anticipatory: they foresee events and generate ideas ―on the fly,‖ favoring activities that stimulate their minds—which in turn generate more things to do and think about. Sevens are not necessarily intellectual or studious by any standard definition, although they are often intelligent and can be widely
read and highly verbal. Their minds move rapidly from one idea to the next, making Sevens gifted at brainstorming and synthesizing information. Sevens are exhilarated by the rush of ideas and by the pleasure of being spontaneous, preferring broad overviews and the excitement of the initial stages of the creative process to probing a single topic in depth. Devon, a successful business woman, shares with us some of the inner workings of her Seven mindset. ―I am definitely a list person. It‘s not really for memory since I have a great memory. It‘s more for down-loading information so that my mind won‘t spin on it. For example, I was at a concert where the tickets were hard to get and very expensive. I couldn‘t sit through it. My mind was torturing me with the things I needed to do. Finally, I had to get up and leave. This was very upsetting to the person I went with and I missed a good show.‖ Sevens are frequently endowed with quick, agile minds, and can be exceptionally fast learners. This is true both of their ability to absorb information (language, facts, and procedures) and their ability to learn new manual skills—they tend to have excellent mind-body coordination, and manual dexterity (typewriting, piano playing, tennis). All of this can combine to make a Seven into the quintessential ―Renaissance person.‖ Ironically, Sevens‘ wide-ranging curiosity and ability to learn quickly can also create problems for them. Because they are able to pick up many different skills with relative ease, it becomes more difficult for them to
decide what to do with themselves. As a result, they also do not always value their abilities as they would if they had to struggle to gain them. When Sevens are more balanced however, their versatility, curiosity, and ability to learn can lead them to extraordinary achievement. The root of their problem is common to all of the types of the Thinking Center: they are out of touch with the inner guidance and support of their Essential nature. As with Fives and Sixes, this creates a deep anxiety in Sevens. They do not feel that they know what to do or how to make choices that will be beneficial to themselves and others. Sevens cope with this anxiety in two ways. First, they try to keep their minds busy all of the time. As long as Sevens can keep their minds occupied, especially with projects and positive ideas for the future, they can, to some extent, keep anxiety and negative feelings out of conscious awareness. Likewise, since their thinking is stimulated by activity, Sevens are compelled to stay on the go, moving from one experience to the next, searching for more stimulation. This is not to say that Sevens are ―spinning their wheels.‖ They generally enjoy being practical and getting things done. Frances, a successful business consultant, sounds more energetic than is humanly possible—and yet, she is a typical Seven: ―I am highly, highly productive. At the office, I am joyful and my mind is running at its best. I might create several marketing campaigns for a client, work on the outline for an upcoming seminar, talk out a difficult problem with a client on the telephone, close two deals, make a project list, dictate a few letters and look up to see that it‘s 9:30 a.m. and my assistant is coming in to start our work for the day.‖
Second, Sevens cope with the loss of Essential guidance by using the ―trial and error‖ method: they try everything to make sure they know what is best. On a very deep level, Sevens do not feel that they can find what they really want in life. They therefore tend to try everything—and ultimately may even resort to anything as a substitute for what they are really looking for. (―If I can‘t have what will really satisfy me, I‘ll enjoy myself anyway. I‘ll have all kinds of experiences—that way I will not feel bad about not getting what I really want.‖) We can see this in action even in the most trivial areas of their daily lives. Unable to decide whether he wants vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry ice cream, a Seven will want all three flavors—just to be sure that he does not miss out on the ―right‖ choice. Having two weeks for a vacation and a desire to visit Europe brings a similar quandary. Which countries and cities to visit? Which sites to see? The Seven‘s way of dealing with this will be to cram as many different countries, cities, and attractions into his vacation as possible. While they are scrambling after exciting experiences, the real object of their heart‘s desire (their personal Rosebud, as it were) may be so deeply buried in their unconscious that they are never really aware of precisely what it is. Furthermore, as Sevens speed up their pursuit of whatever seems to offer freedom and satisfaction, they tend to make worse choices, and they are less able to be satisfied because everything is experienced indirectly, through the dense filter of their fast-paced mental activity. The result is that Sevens end up anxious, frustrated, and enraged, with
fewer resources available to them physically, emotionally, or financially. They may end up ruining their health, their relationships, and their finances in their search for happiness. Gertrude is busy establishing her career and family now, but she looks back at how this tendency contributed to her getting a rough start in life. ―There wasn‘t anything to do at home or in the tiny Southern town I grew up in. I was dying to get out of it and go someplace more exciting. When I was 16, I started dating, and before long I got pregnant, but the father didn‘t want to marry me—which was okay since I didn‘t want to marry him, either. It wasn‘t too long before I found somebody else, and we got married, and I got to move to a larger city. But it didn‘t really work out the way I wanted because after I had the baby, we broke up and I had to move back home. I stayed there for a year or two to get my feet on the ground. When things were looking bleak, I married someone else. I‘m 19 now and I guess I‘ve done a lot already.‖ On the positive side, however, Sevens are extremely optimistic people—exuberant and upbeat. They are endowed with abundant vitality and a desire to fully participate in their lives each day. They are naturally cheerful and good humored, not taking themselves too seriously, or anything else for that matter. As we have seen, the Basic Desire of Sevens is to be satisfied, happy, and fulfilled, and when they are balanced within themselves, their joy and enthusiasm for life naturally affect everyone around them. They remind us of the pure pleasure of existence—the greatest gift of all.

Edgar Hoover, Richard Nixon, and ―George Costanza‖ (Seinfeld).
Type Six Overview We have named personality type Six The Loyalist because, of all the personality types, Sixes are the most loyal to their friends and to their beliefs. They will ―go down with the ship‖ and hang on to relationships of all kinds far longer than most other types. Sixes are also loyal to ideas, systems, and beliefs—even to the belief that all ideas or authorities should be questioned or defied. Indeed, not all Sixes go along with the ―status quo‖: their beliefs may be rebellious and anti-authoritarian, even revolutionary. In any case, they will typically fight for their beliefs more fiercely than they will fight for themselves, and they will defend their community or family more tenaciously than they will defend themselves. The reason Sixes are so loyal to others is that they do not want to be abandoned and left without support—their Basic Fear. Thus, the central issue for type Six is a failure of self-confidence. Sixes come to believe that they do not possess the internal resources to handle life‘s challenges and vagaries alone, and so increasingly rely on structures, allies, beliefs, and supports outside themselves for guidance to survive. If suitable structures do not exist, they will help create and maintain them. Sixes are the primary type in the Thinking Center, meaning that they have the most trouble contacting their own inner guidance. As a result, they do not have confidence in their own minds and judgments. This does not mean that they do not think. On the contrary, they think—and worry—a lot! They also tend to fear making important decisions, although at the same time, they resist having anyone else make decisions for them. They want to avoid being controlled, but are also afraid of taking responsibility in a way that might put them ―in the line of fire.‖ (The old Japanese adage that says, ―The blade of grass that grows too high gets chopped off‖ relates to this idea.) Sixes are always aware of their anxieties and are always looking for ways to construct ―social security‖ bulwarks against them. If Sixes feel that they have sufficient back up, they can move forward with some degree of confidence. But if that crumbles, they become anxious and self-doubting, reawakening their Basic Fear. (―I‘m on my own! What am I going to do now?‖) A good question for Sixes might therefore be: ―When will I know that I have enough security?‖ Or, to get right to the heart of it, ―What is security?‖ Without Essential inner guidance and the deep sense of support that it brings, Sixes are constantly struggling to find firm ground.
Sixes attempt to build a network of trust over a background of unsteadiness and fear. They are often filled with a nameless anxiety and then try to find or create reasons why. Wanting to feel that there is something solid and clear-cut in their lives, they can become attached to explanations or positions that seem to explain their situation. Because ―belief‖ (trust, faith, convictions, positions) is difficult for Sixes to achieve, and because it is so important to their sense of stability, once they establish a trustworthy belief, they do not easily question it, nor do they want others to do so. The same is true for individuals in a Six‘s life: once Sixes feel they can trust someone, they go to great lengths to maintain connections with the person who acts as a sounding board, a mentor, or a regulator for the Six‘s emotional reactions and behavior. They therefore do everything in their power to keep their affiliations going. (―If I don‘t trust myself, then I have to find something in this world I can trust.‖) Although intelligent and accomplished, Connie still has to wrestle with the selfdoubt of her type: ―As my anxiety has come under control, so has my need to ‗check out‘ everything with my friends. I used to have to get the nod of approval from several hundred (just joking!) ‗authorities.‘ About nearly every decision would involve a council of my friends. I usually would do this one on one: ‗What do you think, Mary?‘ ‗If I do this, then that might happen.‘ Please make up my mind for me!‘…Recently, I‘ve narrowed my authorities to just one or two trusted friends, and on occasion, I‘ve actually made up my own mind!― Until they can get in touch with their own inner guidance, Sixes are like a pingpong ball that is constantly shuttling back and forth between whatever influence is hitting the hardest in any given moment. Because of this reactivity, no matter what we say about Sixes, the opposite is often also as true. They are both strong and weak, fearful and courageous, trusting and distrusting, defenders and provokers, sweet and sour, aggressive and passive, bullies and weaklings, on the defensive and on the offensive, thinkers and doers, group people and soloists, believers and doubters, cooperative and obstructionistic, tender and mean, generous and petty—and on and on. It is the contradictory picture that is the characteristic ―fingerprint‖ of Sixes, the fact that they are a bundle of opposites. The biggest problem for Sixes is that they try to build safety in the environment without resolving their own emotional insecurities. When they learn to face their anxieties, however, Sixes understand that although the world is always changing and is, by nature uncertain, they can be serene and courageous in any circumstance. And they can attain the greatest gift of all, a sense of peace with themselves despite the uncertainties of life.

INTP: The Thinker If you’ve arrived at this page without taking the MBTI test you can take the test atthis link. INTP (introverted, intuitive, thinking, perceiving) is one of the 16
personality types described by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). INTPs are often described as quiet and analytical. They enjoy spending time alone, thinking about how things work and coming up with solutions to problems. According to psychologist David Keirsey, creator of the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, approximately one to five percent of people have an INTP personality type.
INTP Characteristics The MBTI identifies personality preferences and tendencies in four key areas: 1) Extraversion vs Introversion, 2) Sensing vs Intuition, 3) Thinking vs Feeling and 4) Judging vs Perceiving. As you can tell from the four-letter acronym, INTP stands for Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking and Perceiving. o
Introversion (I): INTPs prefer to socialize with a small group of close friends.
o
Intuition (N): INTPs tend to think about the big picture, rather than focusing on every tiny detail.
o
Thinking (T): INTPs are logical and base decisions on objective information rather than subjective feelings.
o
Perceiving (P): INTPs like to keep their options open and feel limited by structure and planning. Some of the common characteristics exhibited by people with this personality type include:
Quiet, reserved and thoughtful
Enjoys theoretical thinking
Tends to be flexible and tolerant
Highly logical and objective
Good at thinking ―outside of the box‖ As introverts, INTPs prefer spending time alone for the most part. Unlike extraverts who gain energy from interacting with a wide group of people, introverts must expend energy in social situations. After being around a lot of people, an INTP might feel like they need to spend some time alone to recharge and find balance. While they may be shy around people they do not know well, INTPs tend to be warm and friendly with their close group of family and friends. INTPs can be very independent and place a great deal of emphasis on personal freedom and autonomy. In some cases, they can be aggravated by authority figures, particularly those that they feel are trying to suppress their ability to think and act for themselves. Because of this, INTPs typically do best in careers with they have a great deal of flexibility and independence. Because INTPs enjoy solitude and deep thinking, they sometimes strike others as aloof and detached. At times, people with this personality type can get lost in their own thoughts and lose track of the outside world. They love ideas and place a high value on intelligence and knowledge. In social situations, INTPs tend to be quite easy-going and tolerant. However, they can become unyielding when their beliefs or convictions are challenged. Their high emphasis on logic can make it difficult to not correct others in situations where other people present arguments that are not rational or logical. Because they rely on their own minds rather than others, they can also be very difficult to persuade.
Famous People With INTP Personalities Based on analysis of their lives and works, some researchers including Keirsey have suggested that the following famous individuals exhibit INTP characteristics:
Albert Einstein, scientist
Charles Darwin, naturalist
William James, psychologist and philosopher
Dwight D. Eisenhower, U.S. President
C. G. Jung, psychiatrist
Socrates, philosopher
Sir Isaac Newton, mathematician, physicist and astronomer
J.K. Rowling, author
Abraham Lincoln, U.S. President Some famous fictional characters that exhibit INTP characteristics include:
Sherlock Holmes
Brian Griffin, Family Guy
Data, Star Trek: The Next Generation
Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter
Best Career Choices for INTPs Because they enjoy theoretical and abstract concepts, INTPs often do particularly well in science-related careers. They are logical and have
strong reasoning skills, but are also excellent at thinking creatively.
Chemist
Physicist
Computer programmer
Forensic scientist

Threes are self-assured, attractive, and charming. Ambitious, competent, and energetic, they can also be status-conscious and highly driven for advancement. They are diplomatic and poised, but can also be overly concerned with their image and what others think of them. They typically have problems with workaholism and competitiveness. At their Best: self-accepting, authentic, everything they seem to be—role models who inspire others.
Basic Fear: Of being worthless
Basic Desire: To feel valuable and worthwhile
Enneagram Three with a Two-Wing: ―The Charmer‖
Enneagram Three with a Four-Wing: ―The Professional‖ Key Motivations: Want to be affirmed, to distinguish themselves from others, to have attention, to be admired, and to impress others.
The Meaning of the Arrows (in brief) When moving in their Direction of Disintegration (stress), driven Threes suddenly become disengaged and apathetic at Nine. However, when moving in their Direction of Integration (growth), vain, deceitful Threes become more cooperative and committed to others, like healthy Sixes. Examples: Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Jane Pauley, Michael Landon, Tony Robbins, Tom Cruise, Barbra Streisand, Sharon Stone, Madonna, Shirley MacLaine, Sting, Paul McCartney, Dick
Clark, Whitney Houston, Ted Danson, Michael Jordan, Shania Twain, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarznegger, Billy Dee Williams, Kathy Lee Gifford, Truman Capote, O.J. Simpson, and Barack Obama. Type Three Overview
We have named personality type Three The Achiever because when they are healthy, Threes really can and do achieve great things in the world. They are the ―stars‖ of human nature, and people often look up to them because of their graciousness and personal accomplishments. Healthy Threes know how good it feels to develop themselves and contribute their abilities to the world, and also enjoy motivating others to greater personal achievements than others thought they were capable of. They are usually well regarded and popular among their peers, the type of person who is frequently voted ―class president‖ or ―home coming queen‖ because people feel they want to be associated with this kind of person who acts as a stand-in for them. Healthy Threes embody the best in a culture, and others are able to see their hopes and dreams mirrored in them. Threes are often successful and well liked because, of all the types, they most believe in themselves and in developing their talents and capacities. Threes act as living ―role models‖ and paragons because of their extraordinary embodiment of socially valued qualities. Healthy Threes know that they are worth the effort it takes to be ―the best that they can be.‖ Their success at doing so inspires others to invest in their own self-development. Threes want to make sure their lives are a success, however that is defined by their family, their culture and their social sphere. In some
families, success means having a lot of money, a grand house, a new, expensive car, and other status symbols. Others value ideas, and success to them means distinguishing oneself in academic or scientific worlds. Success in other circles might mean becoming famous as an actor, or model, or writer, or as a public figure of some kind, perhaps as a politician. A religious family might encourage a child to become a minister, priest, or rabbi since these professions have status in their community and in the eyes of the family. No matter how success is defined, Threes will try to become somebody noteworthy in their family and their community. They will not be a ―nobody.‖ To this end, Threes learn to perform in ways that will garner them praise and positive attention. As children, they learned to recognize the activities that were valued by their parents or peers, and put their energies into excelling in those activities. Threes also learned how to cultivate and develop whatever about them is attractive or potentially impressive. Eve is a successful business-woman: ―My mother trained me to perform. I was about three when I performed my first solo in front of the church congregation. I got a lot of positive strokes for that and went on to perform in front of audiences throughout high school, either through music or debate. To this day, something mystical happens to me when I get in front of an audience. I ‗turn it on.‘ I am called on frequently as a public speaker and some of my professional colleagues say that they hate following me on the program because I am such a hard act to follow!‖
Everyone needs attention, encouragement, and the affirmation of their value in order to thrive, and Threes are the type which most exemplifies this universal human need. Threes want success not so much for the things that success will buy (like Sevens), or for the power and feeling of independence that it will bring (like Eights). They want success because they are afraid of disappearing into a chasm of emptiness and worthlessness: without the increased attention and feeling of accomplishment which success usually brings, Threes fear that they are nobody and have no value. The problem is that, in the headlong rush to achieve whatever they believe will make them more valuable, Threes can become so alienated from themselves that they no longer know what they truly want, or what their real feelings or interests are. In this state, they are easy prey to self–deception, deceit, and falseness of all kinds. Thus, the deeper problem is that their search for a way to be value increasingly takes them further away from their own Essential Self with its core of real value. From their earliest years, as Threes become dependent on receiving attention from others and in pursuing the values that others reward, they gradually lose touch with themselves. Step by step, their own inner core, their ―heart‘s desire,‖ is left behind until they no longer recognize it. Thus, while they are the primary type in the Feeling Center, Threes, interestingly, are not known as ―feeling‖ people; rather, they are people of action and achievement. It is as if they ―put their feelings in a box‖ so
that they can get ahead with what they want to achieve. Threes have come to believe that emotions get in the way of their performance, so they substitute thinking and practical action for feelings. Jarvis is a well-educated and accomplished business professional; he sees that this pattern developed in him at an early age. ―I had no conscious awareness of this at the time, but when I was a child, I wasn‘t allowed to have my feelings at all. They counted for nothing in the framework of my stepfather‘s concept of what it took to be successful. I developed the habit of denying my feelings and instead focused on performing and getting good marks in school.‖ Threes report that when they realize to what extent they have adapted their lives to the expectations of others, the question arises, ―Well, then, what do I want?‖ They often simply did not know; it was not a question that had ever come up before. Thus, the fundamental dilemma of Threes is that they have not been allowed to be who they really are and to manifest their own authentic qualities. At a young age, they got the message that they were not allowed to have feelings and be themselves: they must, in effect, be someone else to be accepted. To some degree, all of the personality types have been sent the same message, but because of their particular background and makeup, Threes not only heard it, they began to live by it. The attention they received by performing in a certain way was their oxygen, and they needed it to breathe. Unfortunately, it came at a high price. Marie, a skilled therapist describes the contradiction—and the pressure—of this orientation.
―For most of my life, people always noticed when I was involved in any kind of activity, and they have usually looked to me for some sort of direction. This has been a two-edged sword because while I wanted to be noticed and approved, the burden was that I had to be perfect—and that was tough.‖

ENTJ: The Executive The acronym ENTJ represents one of the 16 personality types that are identified by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. This popular personality assessment was developed by Isabel Myers and her mother Katherine Briggs. The assessment tool is based upon Carl Jung‘s theory of personality types. Other people often describe people with this type of personality as assertive, confident, and outspoken. According to psychologist David Keirsey, the ENTJ type is quite rare, accounting for a mere two-percent of the population.
ENTJ Characteristics People who take the MBTI answer questions designed to assess their
personality across four major areas: 1) Extraversion and Introversion, 2) Sensing and Intuition, 3) Thinking and Feeling and 4) Perceiving and Judging. In this case, the ENTJ acronym indicates that the person rates highest in the extraversion, intuitive, thinking, and judging dimensions. o
Extraverted: People with this personality type enjoy spending time with other people. They have strong verbal skills and interacting with others helps them feel energized.
o
Intuitive: ENTJ prefer to think about the future rather than focus on the hereand-now. They usually find abstract and theoretical information more interesting that concrete details.
o
Thinking: When making decisions, ENTJs place a greater emphasis on objective and logical information. Personal feeling and the emotions of others tend not to factor much into their choices.
o
Judging: ENTJs are planners. Making decisions and having a schedule or course of action planned out gives them a sense of predictability and control. Some common characteristics of this personality type:
Excellent leadership skills
Self-assured
Strong communication abilities
Appreciates organization and structure
Good at making decisions
Likes to plan
Assertive and outspoken Since ENTJs are extraverts, they gain energy from socializing (unlike introverts, who expend energy in social situations). They love
having passionate and lively conversations and debates. In some cases, other people can feel intimidated by the ENTJs confidence and strong verbal skills. When they have a good idea, people with this personality type feel compelled to share their point of view with others. Thanks to their comfort in the spotlight, ability to communicate, and tendency to make quick decisions, ENTJs tend to naturally fall into leadership roles. In his book Please Understand Me II, David Keirsey points out that these individuals sometimes find themselves taking control of a group without really knowing how they came to be in such a position. Because of their love for structure and order, the ENTJ is also good at supervising and directing others and helping groups complete tasks and achieve goals. They are able to quickly see what needs to be accomplished, develop a plan of action, and assign roles to group members. Despite their verbal abilities, ENTJs are not always good at understanding other people‘s emotions. Expressing emotions can be difficult for them at times, and their tendency to get into debates can make them seek aggressive, argumentative, and confrontational. People can overcome this problem by making a conscious effort to think about how other people might be feeling. [mbti – up]
Famous People With ENTJ Personalities Some experts suggest that the following famous individuals exhibit characteristics of this personality type:
Margaret Thatcher, former British Prime Minister
Franklin D. Roosevelt, former U.S. President
Candace Bergen, actress
Al Gore, former U.S. Vice President
Harrison Ford, actor
David Letterman, television host
Richard M. Nixon, former U.S. President
Patrick Stewart, actor
Best Career Choices for ENTJs ENTJs do best in careers where there is a lot of structure, but plenty of room for variety. Jobs that allow them to meet and interact with lots of different people are ideal. People with this type bring a lot of desirable skills to the table, including excellent leadership and communication skills, a hard-working attitude, and an ability to plan for the future. Some job options that might appeal to an ENTJ include:
Human resources manager
Company CEO or manager
Lawyer
Scientist
Software developer
Business analyst
Entrepreneur

DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Elizabeth Taylor, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Steven Spielberg, Federico Fellini, Richard Feynman, Timothy Leary,Robin Williams, Jim Carey, Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Bette Midler, Chuck Berry, Elton John, Mick Jagger, Gianni Versace, Liza Minelli, Joan Collins,Malcolm Forbes, Noel Coward, Sarah Ferguson, Larry King, Joan Rivers,Regis Philbin, Howard Stern, John Belushi, and ―Auntie Mame‖ (Mame).
Type Seven Overview We have named this personality type The Enthusiast because Sevens are
enthusiastic about almost everything that catches their attention. They approach life with curiosity, optimism, and a sense of adventure, like ―kids in a candy store‖ who look at the world in wide-eyed, rapt anticipation of all the good things they are about to experience. They are bold and vivacious, pursuing what they want in life with a cheerful determination. They have a quality best described by the Yiddish word ―chutzpah‖—a kind of brash ―nerviness.‖ Although Sevens are in the Thinking Center, this is not immediately apparent because they tend to be extremely practical and engaged in a multitude of projects at any given time. Their thinking is anticipatory: they foresee events and generate ideas ―on the fly,‖ favoring activities that stimulate their minds—which in turn generate more things to do and think about. Sevens are not necessarily intellectual or studious by any standard definition, although they are often intelligent and can be widely read and highly verbal. Their minds move rapidly from one idea to the next, making Sevens gifted at brainstorming and synthesizing information. Sevens are exhilarated by the rush of ideas and by the pleasure of being spontaneous, preferring broad overviews and the excitement of the initial stages of the creative process to probing a single topic in depth. Devon, a successful business woman, shares with us some of the inner workings of her Seven mindset. ―I am definitely a list person. It‘s not really for memory since I have a great memory. It‘s more for down-loading information so that my mind won‘t spin on it. For example, I was at a concert where the tickets were hard to get and very expensive. I couldn‘t sit through it. My mind was torturing me with the
things I needed to do. Finally, I had to get up and leave. This was very upsetting to the person I went with and I missed a good show.‖ Sevens are frequently endowed with quick, agile minds, and can be exceptionally fast learners. This is true both of their ability to absorb information (language, facts, and procedures) and their ability to learn new manual skills—they tend to have excellent mind-body coordination, and manual dexterity (typewriting, piano playing, tennis). All of this can combine to make a Seven into the quintessential ―Renaissance person.‖ Ironically, Sevens‘ wide-ranging curiosity and ability to learn quickly can also create problems for them. Because they are able to pick up many different skills with relative ease, it becomes more difficult for them to decide what to do with themselves. As a result, they also do not always value their abilities as they would if they had to struggle to gain them. When Sevens are more balanced however, their versatility, curiosity, and ability to learn can lead them to extraordinary achievement. The root of their problem is common to all of the types of the Thinking Center: they are out of touch with the inner guidance and support of their Essential nature. As with Fives and Sixes, this creates a deep anxiety in Sevens. They do not feel that they know what to do or how to make choices that will be beneficial to themselves and others. Sevens cope with this anxiety in two ways. First, they try to keep their minds busy all of the time. As long as Sevens can keep their minds occupied, especially with projects and positive ideas for the future, they can, to some extent, keep anxiety and negative feelings out of conscious awareness. Likewise, since their thinking
is stimulated by activity, Sevens are compelled to stay on the go, moving from one experience to the next, searching for more stimulation. This is not to say that Sevens are ―spinning their wheels.‖ They generally enjoy being practical and getting things done. Frances, a successful business consultant, sounds more energetic than is humanly possible—and yet, she is a typical Seven: ―I am highly, highly productive. At the office, I am joyful and my mind is running at its best. I might create several marketing campaigns for a client, work on the outline for an upcoming seminar, talk out a difficult problem with a client on the telephone, close two deals, make a project list, dictate a few letters and look up to see that it‘s 9:30 a.m. and my assistant is coming in to start our work for the day.‖ Second, Sevens cope with the loss of Essential guidance by using the ―trial and error‖ method: they try everything to make sure they know what is best. On a very deep level, Sevens do not feel that they can find what they really want in life. They therefore tend to try everything—and ultimately may even resort to anything as a substitute for what they are really looking for. (―If I can‘t have what will really satisfy me, I‘ll enjoy myself anyway. I‘ll have all kinds of experiences—that way I will not feel bad about not getting what I really want.‖) We can see this in action even in the most trivial areas of their daily lives. Unable to decide whether he wants vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry ice cream, a Seven will want all three flavors—just to be sure that he does not miss out on the ―right‖ choice. Having two weeks for a vacation and a desire to visit Europe brings a similar quandary. Which countries and cities to visit?
Which sites to see? The Seven‘s way of dealing with this will be to cram as many different countries, cities, and attractions into his vacation as possible. While they are scrambling after exciting experiences, the real object of their heart‘s desire (their personal Rosebud, as it were) may be so deeply buried in their unconscious that they are never really aware of precisely what it is. Furthermore, as Sevens speed up their pursuit of whatever seems to offer freedom and satisfaction, they tend to make worse choices, and they are less able to be satisfied because everything is experienced indirectly, through the dense filter of their fast-paced mental activity. The result is that Sevens end up anxious, frustrated, and enraged, with fewer resources available to them physically, emotionally, or financially. They may end up ruining their health, their relationships, and their finances in their search for happiness. Gertrude is busy establishing her career and family now, but she looks back at how this tendency contributed to her getting a rough start in life. ―There wasn‘t anything to do at home or in the tiny Southern town I grew up in. I was dying to get out of it and go someplace more exciting. When I was 16, I started dating, and before long I got pregnant, but the father didn‘t want to marry me—which was okay since I didn‘t want to marry him, either. It wasn‘t too long before I found somebody else, and we got married, and I got to move to a larger city. But it didn‘t really work out the way I wanted because after I had the baby, we broke up and I had to move back home. I stayed there for a year or two to get my feet on the ground. When things were looking bleak, I married someone else. I‘m 19 now and I guess I‘ve done a lot already.‖
On the positive side, however, Sevens are extremely optimistic people— exuberant and upbeat. They are endowed with abundant vitality and a desire to fully participate in their lives each day. They are naturally cheerful and good humored, not taking themselves too seriously, or anything else for that matter. As we have seen, the Basic Desire of Sevens is to be satisfied, happy, and fulfilled, and when they are balanced within themselves, their joy and enthusiasm for life naturally affect everyone around them. They remind us of the pure pleasure of existence—the greatest gift of all. (from The Wisdom of the Enneagram, p. 262-264) Next Actions Do you immediately start looking for solutions when you are presented with a problem even if it belongs to someone else?
Can you talk to anyone? Do people seek you out at dinner parties and other social occasions? Were you the most popular kid in school?
Do people often comment on how ―gifted‖ you are? Tips for dealing with the negative side of the dreamer type:
Make it a specific goal to follow through one task from beginning to the end.
Recognize that having multiple projects on the go at one time can be a way of trying to escape from reality.
Stop thinking that anyone who disagrees with you is criticizing you. Constructive criticism is often useful. If you find yourself acting eccentrically or living in fantasy, embrace your real life and find reasons to be optimistic and radiate good cheer in life.

The Committed, Security-Oriented Type: Engaging, Responsible, Anxious, and Suspicious For more about the meaning of the arrows Type Six in Brief
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.
Basic Fear: Of being without support and guidance
Basic Desire: To have security and support
Enneagram Six with a Five-Wing: ―The Defender‖
Enneagram Six with a Seven-Wing: ―The Buddy‖ Key Motivations: Want to have security, to feel supported by others, to have certitude and reassurance, to test the attitudes of others toward them, to fight against anxiety and insecurity.
The Meaning of the Arrows (in brief) When moving in their Direction of Disintegration (stress), dutiful Sixes suddenly become competitive and arrogant at Three. However, when moving in their Direction of Integration (growth), fearful, pessimistic Sixes become more relaxed and optimistic, like healthy Nines. Examples: Robert F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Princess Diana, George H. W. Bush, Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen, Candice Bergen, Gilda Radner, Meg Ryan, Helen Hunt, Mel Gibson, Patrick Swayze, Julia Roberts, Phil Donahue,Jay Leno, John Goodman, Diane Keaton, Woody Allen, David Letterman,Andy Rooney, Jessica Lange, Tom Clancy, J. Edgar Hoover, Richard Nixon, and ―George Costanza‖ (Seinfeld). Type Six Overview
We have named personality type Six The Loyalist because, of all the personality types, Sixes are the most loyal to their friends and to their beliefs. They will ―go down with the ship‖ and hang on to relationships of all
kinds far longer than most other types. Sixes are also loyal to ideas, systems, and beliefs—even to the belief that all ideas or authorities should be questioned or defied. Indeed, not all Sixes go along with the ―status quo‖: their beliefs may be rebellious and anti-authoritarian, even revolutionary. In any case, they will typically fight for their beliefs more fiercely than they will fight for themselves, and they will defend their community or family more tenaciously than they will defend themselves. The reason Sixes are so loyal to others is that they do not want to be abandoned and left without support—their Basic Fear. Thus, the central issue for type Six is a failure of self-confidence. Sixes come to believe that they do not possess the internal resources to handle life‘s challenges and vagaries alone, and so increasingly rely on structures, allies, beliefs, and supports outside themselves for guidance to survive. If suitable structures do not exist, they will help create and maintain them. Sixes are the primary type in the Thinking Center, meaning that they have the most trouble contacting their own inner guidance. As a result, they do not have confidence in their own minds and judgments. This does not mean that they do not think. On the contrary, they think—and worry—a lot! They also tend to fear making important decisions, although at the same time, they resist having anyone else make decisions for them. They want to avoid being controlled, but are also afraid of taking responsibility in a way that might put them ―in the line of fire.‖ (The old Japanese adage that says, ―The blade of grass that grows too high gets chopped off‖ relates to this idea.) Sixes are always aware of their anxieties and are always looking for ways to
construct ―social security‖ bulwarks against them. If Sixes feel that they have sufficient back up, they can move forward with some degree of confidence. But if that crumbles, they become anxious and self-doubting, reawakening their Basic Fear. (―I‘m on my own! What am I going to do now?‖) A good question for Sixes might therefore be: ―When will I know that I have enough security?‖ Or, to get right to the heart of it, ―What is security?‖ Without Essential inner guidance and the deep sense of support that it brings, Sixes are constantly struggling to find firm ground. Sixes attempt to build a network of trust over a background of unsteadiness and fear. They are often filled with a nameless anxiety and then try to find or create reasons why. Wanting to feel that there is something solid and clearcut in their lives, they can become attached to explanations or positions that seem to explain their situation. Because ―belief‖ (trust, faith, convictions, positions) is difficult for Sixes to achieve, and because it is so important to their sense of stability, once they establish a trustworthy belief, they do not easily question it, nor do they want others to do so. The same is true for individuals in a Six‘s life: once Sixes feel they can trust someone, they go to great lengths to maintain connections with the person who acts as a sounding board, a mentor, or a regulator for the Six‘s emotional reactions and behavior. They therefore do everything in their power to keep their affiliations going. (―If I don‘t trust myself, then I have to find something in this world I can trust.‖) Although intelligent and accomplished, Connie still has to wrestle with the self-doubt of her type: ―As my anxiety has come under control, so has my need to ‗check out‘ everything with my friends. I used to have to get the nod of approval from
several hundred (just joking!) ‗authorities.‘ About nearly every decision would involve a council of my friends. I usually would do this one on one: ‗What do you think, Mary?‘ ‗If I do this, then that might happen.‘ Please make up my mind for me!‘…Recently, I‘ve narrowed my authorities to just one or two trusted friends, and on occasion, I‘ve actually made up my own mind!― Until they can get in touch with their own inner guidance, Sixes are like a ping-pong ball that is constantly shuttling back and forth between whatever influence is hitting the hardest in any given moment. Because of this reactivity, no matter what we say about Sixes, the opposite is often also as true. They are both strong and weak, fearful and courageous, trusting and distrusting, defenders and provokers, sweet and sour, aggressive and passive, bullies and weaklings, on the defensive and on the offensive, thinkers and doers, group people and soloists, believers and doubters, cooperative and obstructionistic, tender and mean, generous and petty—and on and on. It is the contradictory picture that is the characteristic ―fingerprint‖ of Sixes, the fact that they are a bundle of opposites. The biggest problem for Sixes is that they try to build safety in the environment without resolving their own emotional insecurities. When they learn to face their anxieties, however, Sixes understand that although the world is always changing and is, by nature uncertain, they can be serene and courageous in any circumstance. And they can attain the greatest gift of all, a sense of peace with themselves despite the uncertainties of life.
MBTI TEST RESULT
ENFP: The Inspirer The ENFP personality type is one of the 16 different types identified by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). People with this type of personality are often described as enthusiastic, charismatic, and creative. Psychologist David Keirsey suggests that ENFPs account for approximately three to four percent the population.
ENFP Characteristics The MBTI looks at personality in four key areas: 1) Extraversion and Introversion, 2) Sensing and Intuition, 3) Thinking and Feeling and 4) Perceiving and Judging. As you can see, the ENFP acronym stands for Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Perceiving. o
Extraversion: ENFPs love to interact with lots of people. Socializing helps them to feel energized and renewed.
o
Intuition: ENFPs generally focus on the world of possibilities. They are good at abstract thinking and prefer not to concentrate on the tiny details. They are inventive and focused on the future.
o
Feeling: When making decisions, ENFPs place a greater value on feelings and values rather than on logic and objective criteria. They tend to follow their heart, empathize with others, and let their emotions guide their decisions.
o
Perceiving: ENFPs are flexible and like to keep their options open. They can be spontaneous and are highly adaptable to change. They also dislike routine and may have problems with disorganization and procrastination.
Some common ENFP characteristics include:
Warm and enthusiastic
Empathetic and caring
Strong people skills; relates well to others
Able to think abstractly and understand difficult, complex concepts
Needs approval from others
Disorganized
Strong communication skills
Fun and spontaneous
Highly creative ENFPs are extraverts, which means that they love spending time with other people. Socializing actually gives them more energy, helping them to feel renewed, refreshed, and excited about life. While other types of extraverts tend to dislike solitude, ENFPs do have a need for some alone time in order to think and reflect. Psychologist David Keirsey identifies ENFPs as ―Champions,‖ which he suggests are rather rare. ―Champions can be tireless in talking with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out,‖ Keirsey suggests. ―And usually this is not simple storytelling; Champions often speak (or write) in the hope of revealing some truth about human experience, or of motivating others with their powerful convictions.‖ They also have excellent people skills. In addition to having an abundance of enthusiasm, they also genuinely care about others. ENFPs are good at understanding what other people are feeling. Given their zeal, charisma, and creativity, they can also make great leaders.
People with this personality type strongly dislike routine and prefer to focus on the future. While they are great at generating new ideas, they sometimes put off important tasks until the last minute. Dreaming up ideas but not seeing them through to completion is a common problem. ENFPs can also become easily distracted, particularly when they are working on something that seems boring or uninspiring.
Famous People With ENFP Personalities Some experts have suggested that the following famous figures display characteristics of the ENFP personality type:
Andy Kaufmann, comedian
Bob Dylan, singer/songwriter
Charles Dickins, author
Dr. Seuss, children’s author
Robin Williams, actor
Will Smith, actor
Charlotte Bronte, author
Best Career Choices for ENFPs When choosing a career path, it is a good idea for people to understand the potential strengths and weaknesses of their personality type. People with the ENFP personality type do best in jobs that offer a lot of flexibility. Because they are empathetic and interested in people, they often do well in serviceoriented careers. They should avoid careers that involve completing a lot of detailed, routine tasks. Some career options that might appeal to an ENFP include:
Psychologist
Journalist
Actor
TV Anchor/Reporter
Nutritionist
Nurse
Social Worker
Politician
Counselor

Type Eight Overview We have named personality type Eight The Challenger because, of all the types, Eights enjoy taking on challenges themselves as well as giving others opportunities that challenge them to exceed themselves in some way. Eights are charismatic and have the physical and psychological capacities to persuade others to follow them into all kinds of endeavors—from starting a company, to rebuilding a city, to running a household, to waging war, to making peace. Eights have enormous willpower and vitality, and they feel most alive when they are exercising these capacities in the world. They use their abundant energy to effect changes in their environment—to ―leave their mark‖ on it— but also to keep the environment, and especially other people, from hurting them and those they care about. At an early age, Eights understand that this
requires strength, will, persistence, and endurance—qualities that they develop in themselves and which they look for in others. Thayer is a stockbroker who has worked intensively on understanding her type Eight personality. She recounts a childhood incident in which she could clearly see the development of this pattern. ―Much of my tenacity and toughness comes from my Dad. He always told me not to ‗let anybody push you around.‘ It was not okay to cry. I learned to master my weaker side early on. At the tender age of eight, a huge horse ran away with me. When an adult caught the horse, I resolutely dismounted without a tear. I could tell my father was proud.‖ Eights do not want to be controlled or to allow others to have power over them (their Basic Fear), whether the power is psychological, sexual, social, or financial. Much of their behavior is involved with making sure that they retain and increase whatever power they have for as long as possible. An Eight may be a general or a gardener, a small businessman or a mogul, the mother of a family or the superior of a religious community. No matter: being ―in charge‖ and leaving their imprint on their sphere is uniquely characteristic of them. Eights are the true ―rugged individualists‖ of the Enneagram. More than any other type, they stand alone. They want to be independent, and resist being indebted to anyone. They often refuse to ―give in‖ to social convention, and they can defy fear, shame, and concern about the consequences of their actions. Although they are usually aware of what people think of them, they
do not let the opinions of others sway them. They go about their business with a steely determination that can be awe inspiring, even intimidating to others. Although, to some extent, Eights fear physical harm, far more important is their fear of being disempowered or controlled in some way. Eights are extraordinarily tough and can absorb a great deal of physical punishment without complaint—a double-edged blessing since they often take their health and stamina for granted and overlook the health and well-being of others as well. Yet they are desperately afraid of being hurt emotionally and will use their physical strength to protect their feelings and keep others at a safe emotional distance. Beneath the tough façade is vulnerability, although it has been covered over by layer of emotional armor. Thus, Eights are often extremely industrious, but at the price of losing emotional contact with many of the people in their lives. Those close to them may become increasingly dissatisfied with this state of affairs, which confounds Eights. (―I don‘t understand what my family is complaining about. I bust my hump to provide for them. Why are they disappointed with me?‖) When this happens, Eights feel misunderstood and may distance themselves further. In fact, beneath their imposing exterior, Eights often feel hurt and rejected, although this is something they seldom talk about because they have trouble admitting their vulnerability to themselves, let alone to anyone else. Because they fear that they will be rejected (divorced, humiliated, criticized, fired, or harmed in some way), Eights attempt to defend themselves by rejecting others first. The result is that average Eights become blocked in their ability to connect with people or to love since love gives
the other power over them, reawakening their Basic Fear. The more Eights build up their egos in order to protect themselves, the more sensitive they become to any real or imaginary slight to their self-respect, authority, or preeminence. The more they attempt to make themselves impervious to hurt or pain (whether physical or emotional), the more they ―shut down‖ emotionally to become hardened and rock-like. When Eights are emotionally healthy, however, they have a resourceful, ―can-do‖ attitude as well as a steady inner drive. They take the initiative and make things happen with a great passion for life. They are honorable and authoritative—natural leaders who have a solid, commanding presence. Their groundedness gives them abundant ―common sense‖ as well as the ability to be decisive. Eights are willing to ―take the heat,‖ knowing that any decision cannot please everyone. But as much as possible, they want to look after the interests of the people in their charge without playing favorites. They use their talents and fortitude to construct a better world for everyone in their lives.

ESFP: The Performer ESFP (extraverted, sensing, feeling, perceiving) is one of the 16 personality types identified by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. People with ESFP
personality types are often described as spontaneous, resourceful and outgoing. According to psychologist David Keirsey, the developer of the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, approximately four to ten percent of all people have an ESFP personality type.
ESFP Characteristics The MBTI looks at personality preferences in four key areas: 1) Extraversion vs Introversion, 2) Sensing vs Intuition, 3) Thinking vs Feeling and 4) Judging vs Perceiving. As you‘ve probably already guessed, the acronym ESFP represents Extraversion, Sensing, Feeling and Perceiving. o
Extraversion: ESFPs enjoy interacting with other people and feel energized after they spend time socializing.
o
Sensing: ESFPs prefer to focus on the here-and-now rather than thinking about the distant future. They also prefer learning about concrete facts rather than theoretical ideas.
o
Feeling: ESFPs place a greater emphasis personal feelings rather than logic and facts when making decisions.
o
Perceiving: ESFPs don’t spend a lot of time planning and organizing. Instead, they like to keep their options open. Some common ESFP characteristics include:
Optimistic
Practical
Seeks out new experiences
Spontaneous and sometimes impulsive
Like facts and concrete information
Dislikes theories and abstract information
Gregarious
Enjoys people and socializing
Focused on the present
Like variety, dislikes monotony ESFPs tend to be very practical and resourceful. They prefer to learn through hands-on experience and tend to dislike book learning and theoretical discussions. Because of this, students with ESFP personality types sometimes struggle in traditional classroom settings. However, they excel in situations where they are allowed to interact with others or learn through direct experience. When solving problems, they trust their instincts and put trust in their own abilities to come up with a solution. While they are reasonable and pragmatic, they dislike structure, order and planning. Instead they act spontaneously and do not spend a great deal of time coming up with a plan or schedule. As extraverts, ESFPs enjoy spending time with other people and have excellent interpersonal skills. They are good at understanding how other people are feelings and are able to respond to other people‘s emotions in productive ways. For this reason, ESFPs can make good leaders and have a knack for mobilizing, motivating and persuading group members. ESFPs are often described as warm, kind and thoughtful, making them popular and well-liked by others. ESFPs enjoy meeting new people, but they also have a thirst for new experiences. They are generally focused on the present and will often be the first person to try the newest ride at an amusement park or try out a new adventure sport.
Famous ESFPs Researchers suggest that some of the following famous individuals exhibit characteristics consistent with the ESFP personality type:
Bill Clinton, U.S. President
Ronald Reagan, U.S. President

Jobs that involve a great deal of socializing are also a great fit, allowing individuals with this personality type to put their considerable people skills to good use. Careers that involve a great deal of structure and solitary work can be difficult for ESFPs, and they often become bored in such situations. A few possible career choices for ESFPs include:
Artist
Actor
Counselor
Social Worker
Athletic coach
Child care provider
Musician
Psychologist
Human resources specialist
Fashion designer

ISFJ: The Nurturer ISFJ (introverted, sensing, feeling, judging) is one of the 16 personality types identified on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The MBTI was developed by Isabel Meyers and her mother Katherine Briggs based on the theories of psychoanalyst Carl Jung. People who have ISFJ personalities
tend to be reserved, warm-hearted and responsible. According to David Keirsey, ISFJs make up about 9 to 14 percent of the population.
ISFJ Characteristics The MBTI identifies your personality type by looking at four main areas: 1) Extraversion vs Introversion, 2) Sensing vs Intuition, 3) Thinking vs Feeling and 4) Judging vs Perceiving. For each of the four main dimensions, the MBTI identifies whether your personality tends to lean toward one dimension or the other. As you can see, the ISFJ personality type leans towardIntroversion, Intuition, Feeling and Judging. o
Introversion (I): ISFJs are introverted and tend to be quiet and reserved.
o
Sensing (S): ISFJs prefer concrete information rather than abstract theories.
o
Feeling (F): ISFJs place a greater emphasis on personal considerations rather than objective information.
o
Judging (J): ISFJs are planners and tend to be very well-organized. People with INFJ personality types tend to have the following characteristics:
Reliable, stable and down-to-earth
Enjoys order and structure
Dislikes conflict and confrontation
Kind, warm-hearted and considerate
Practical-minded
Likes concrete information
Very aware of other people’s feelings
Has a great memory for detail ISFJs enjoy structure and strive to maintain this order in all areas of their
lives. While people with this personality type are introverted and tend to be quiet, they are keen observers and are focused on other people. Because they are so perceptive, ISFJs are good at remembering details about other people. Those with this personality type are particularly well-tuned in to the emotions and feelings of others. Because they are quiet, people sometimes misinterpret this as standoffish behavior. As Keirsey notes, this is far from the truth. ISFJs are known for their compassion and caring for others, often working to secure the safety and well-being of other people without asking for thanks or anything in return. Because they are hard-working, dependable and rarely seek accolades for their own accomplishments, ISFJs are sometimes taken for granted by those around them. In some cases, people might even try to take advantage of this reliability. While ISFJs are good at understanding the emotions, they often struggle to express their own feelings. Rather than share their feelings, they may bottle them up, sometimes to the point that negative feelings toward other people can result. When dealing with life struggles such as illness or the death of a loved one, they may keep quiet about what they are experiencing in order to avoid burdening others with their troubles. ISFJs tend to have a small group of very close friends. While they may be quiet and reserved around people they don‘t know well, they are more likely to ―let loose‖ when they are around these close confidants. They place a
high value on these close friendships and are always willing to support and care for the people they are close to. [mbti – up]

Type 7: The enthusiast, the epicure
The Busy, Variety-Seeking type: Spontaneous, Versatile, Acquisitive, and Scattered For more about the meaning of the arrows, see below. Type Seven in Brief
Sevens are extroverted, optimistic, versatile, and spontaneous. Playful, highspirited, and practical, they can also misapply their many talents, becoming over- extended, scattered, and undisciplined. They constantly seek new and exciting experiences, but can become distracted and exhausted by staying on the go. They typically have problems with impatience and impulsiveness. At their Best: they focus their talents on worthwhile goals, becoming appreciative, joyous, and satisfied.
Basic Fear: Of being deprived and in pain
Basic Desire: To be satisfied and content—to have their needs fulfilled
Enneagram Seven with a Six-Wing: ―The Entertainer‖
Enneagram Seven with an Eight-Wing: ―The Realist‖ Key Motivations: Want to maintain their freedom and happiness, to avoid missing out on worthwhile experiences, to keep themselves excited and occupied, to avoid and discharge pain.
The Meaning of the Arrows (in brief)
When moving in their Direction of Disintegration (stress), scattered Sevens suddenly become perfectionistic and critical at One. However, when moving in their Direction of Integration (growth), gluttonous, scattered Sevens become more focused and fascinated by life, like healthy Fives. Examples: John F. Kennedy, Benjamin Franklin, Leonard Bernstein,Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Elizabeth Taylor, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Steven Spielberg, Federico Fellini, Richard Feynman, Timothy Leary,Robin Williams, Jim Carey, Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Bette Midler, Chuck Berry, Elton John, Mick Jagger, Gianni Versace, Liza Minelli, Joan Collins,Malcolm Forbes, Noel Coward, Sarah Ferguson, Larry King, Joan Rivers,Regis Philbin, Howard Stern, John Belushi, and ―Auntie Mame‖ (Mame). Type Seven Overview
We have named this personality type The Enthusiast because Sevens are enthusiastic about almost everything that catches their attention. They approach life with curiosity, optimism, and a sense of adventure, like ―kids in a candy store‖ who look at the world in wide-eyed, rapt anticipation of all the good things they are about to experience. They are bold and vivacious, pursuing what they want in life with a cheerful determination. They have a quality best described by the Yiddish word ―chutzpah‖—a kind of brash ―nerviness.‖ Although Sevens are in the Thinking Center, this is not immediately apparent because they tend to be extremely practical and engaged in a multitude of
projects at any given time. Their thinking is anticipatory: they foresee events and generate ideas ―on the fly,‖ favoring activities that stimulate their minds—which in turn generate more things to do and think about. Sevens are not necessarily intellectual or studious by any standard definition, although they are often intelligent and can be widely read and highly verbal. Their minds move rapidly from one idea to the next, making Sevens gifted at brainstorming and synthesizing information. Sevens are exhilarated by the rush of ideas and by the pleasure of being spontaneous, preferring broad overviews and the excitement of the initial stages of the creative process to probing a single topic in depth. Devon, a successful business woman, shares with us some of the inner workings of her Seven mindset. ―I am definitely a list person. It‘s not really for memory since I have a great memory. It‘s more for down-loading information so that my mind won‘t spin on it. For example, I was at a concert where the tickets were hard to get and very expensive. I couldn‘t sit through it. My mind was torturing me with the things I needed to do. Finally, I had to get up and leave. This was very upsetting to the person I went with and I missed a good show.‖ Sevens are frequently endowed with quick, agile minds, and can be exceptionally fast learners. This is true both of their ability to absorb information (language, facts, and procedures) and their ability to learn new manual skills—they tend to have excellent mind-body coordination, and manual dexterity (typewriting, piano playing, tennis). All of this can combine to make a Seven into the quintessential ―Renaissance person.‖ Ironically, Sevens‘ wide-ranging curiosity and ability to learn quickly can also create problems for them. Because they are able to pick up many different
skills with relative ease, it becomes more difficult for them to decide what to do with themselves. As a result, they also do not always value their abilities as they would if they had to struggle to gain them. When Sevens are more balanced however, their versatility, curiosity, and ability to learn can lead them to extraordinary achievement. The root of their problem is common to all of the types of the Thinking Center: they are out of touch with the inner guidance and support of their Essential nature. As with Fives and Sixes, this creates a deep anxiety in Sevens. They do not feel that they know what to do or how to make choices that will be beneficial to themselves and others. Sevens cope with this anxiety in two ways. First, they try to keep their minds busy all of the time. As long as Sevens can keep their minds occupied, especially with projects and positive ideas for the future, they can, to some extent, keep anxiety and negative feelings out of conscious awareness. Likewise, since their thinking is stimulated by activity, Sevens are compelled to stay on the go, moving from one experience to the next, searching for more stimulation. This is not to say that Sevens are ―spinning their wheels.‖ They generally enjoy being practical and getting things done. Frances, a successful business consultant, sounds more energetic than is humanly possible—and yet, she is a typical Seven: ―I am highly, highly productive. At the office, I am joyful and my mind is running at its best. I might create several marketing campaigns for a client, work on the outline for an upcoming seminar, talk out a difficult problem with a client on the telephone, close two deals, make a project list, dictate a few letters and look up to see that it‘s 9:30 a.m. and my assistant is coming in to start our work for the day.‖
Second, Sevens cope with the loss of Essential guidance by using the ―trial and error‖ method: they try everything to make sure they know what is best. On a very deep level, Sevens do not feel that they can find what they really want in life. They therefore tend to try everything—and ultimately may even resort to anything as a substitute for what they are really looking for. (―If I can‘t have what will really satisfy me, I‘ll enjoy myself anyway. I‘ll have all kinds of experiences—that way I will not feel bad about not getting what I really want.‖) We can see this in action even in the most trivial areas of their daily lives. Unable to decide whether he wants vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry ice cream, a Seven will want all three flavors—just to be sure that he does not miss out on the ―right‖ choice. Having two weeks for a vacation and a desire to visit Europe brings a similar quandary. Which countries and cities to visit? Which sites to see? The Seven‘s way of dealing with this will be to cram as many different countries, cities, and attractions into his vacation as possible. While they are scrambling after exciting experiences, the real object of their heart‘s desire (their personal Rosebud, as it were) may be so deeply buried in their unconscious that they are never really aware of precisely what it is. Furthermore, as Sevens speed up their pursuit of whatever seems to offer freedom and satisfaction, they tend to make worse choices, and they are less able to be satisfied because everything is experienced indirectly, through the dense filter of their fast-paced mental activity. The result is that Sevens end up anxious, frustrated, and enraged, with fewer resources available to them physically, emotionally, or financially. They may end up ruining their health, their relationships, and their finances in their search for happiness.
Gertrude is busy establishing her career and family now, but she looks back at how this tendency contributed to her getting a rough start in life. ―There wasn‘t anything to do at home or in the tiny Southern town I grew up in. I was dying to get out of it and go someplace more exciting. When I was 16, I started dating, and before long I got pregnant, but the father didn‘t want to marry me—which was okay since I didn‘t want to marry him, either. It wasn‘t too long before I found somebody else, and we got married, and I got to move to a larger city. But it didn‘t really work out the way I wanted because after I had the baby, we broke up and I had to move back home. I stayed there for a year or two to get my feet on the ground. When things were looking bleak, I married someone else. I‘m 19 now and I guess I‘ve done a lot already.‖ On the positive side, however, Sevens are extremely optimistic people— exuberant and upbeat. They are endowed with abundant vitality and a desire to fully participate in their lives each day. They are naturally cheerful and good humored, not taking themselves too seriously, or anything else for that matter. As we have seen, the Basic Desire of Sevens is to be satisfied, happy, and fulfilled, and when they are balanced within themselves, their joy and enthusiasm for life naturally affect everyone around them. They remind us of the pure pleasure of existence—the greatest gift of all. (from The Wisdom of the Enneagram, p. 262-264) Next Actions

Make it a specific goal to follow through one task from beginning to the end.
Recognize that having multiple projects on the go at one time can be a way of trying to escape from reality.
Stop thinking that anyone who disagrees with you is criticizing you. Constructive criticism is often useful.

ENFJ: The Giver If you’ve arrived at this page without taking the MBTI test you can take the test atthis link. ENFJ is one of the 16 different personality types identified by the MyersBriggs Type Indicator. People with this personality type are often described as warm, outgoing, loyal and sensitive. Psychologist David Keirsey suggests that approximately two to five percent of all people have an ENFJ personality.
ENFJ Characteristics
The MBTI assesses preferences across four different dimensions: 1) Extraversion and Introversion, 2) Sensing and Intuition, 3) Thinking and Feeling and 4) Perceiving and Judging. As you have probably guessed, the ENFJ acronym represents Extraversion, Intuition, Feeling and Judging. o
Extraversion: ENFJs have an outgoing personality and enjoy spending time with other people. Being in social settings helps them feel energized.
o
Intuition: ENFJs like to think about the future rather than the present. They may often become so focused on the larger goal that they lose sight of the immediate details.
o
Feeling: ENFJs place a stronger emphasis on personal, subject considerations rather than objective criteria when making decisions. How a decision will impact others is often a primary concern.
o
Judging: ENFJs are organized and enjoy structure and careful planning. Sticking to a predictable schedule helps ENFJs feel in control of the world around them. Some common ENFJ characteristics include:
Prefers harmony to discord

ENFJs are often so interested in devoting their time to others that they can neglect their own needs. They also have a tendency to be too hard on themselves, blaming themselves for when things go wrong and not giving themselves enough credit when things go right. Because of this, it is important that people with this personality type regularly set aside some time to attend to their own needs. [mbti – up]

INFP: The Idealist INFP (introversion, intuition, feeling, perception) is a four-letter abbreviation for one of the 16 personality types identified by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The INFP personality type is often described as an ―idealist‖ personality. People with this kind of personality tend to be introverted, idealistic, creative and driven by high values. Learn more about the characteristics the INFP personality in this brief overview of this personality type.
INFP Characteristics
The MBTI works by indicating your personality preferences and tendencies in the following areas: 1) Extraversion vs Introversion, 2) Sensing vs Intuition, 3) Thinking vs Feeling and 4) Judging vs Perceiving. As you might have already guessed, the four-letter code for this personality type stands for introversion, Intuition,Feeling and Perceiving. o
Introversion (I): How do you relate to the world and focus your energy?
o
Intuition (N): How do you perceive information?
o
Feeling (F): How do you make decisions?
o
Perceiving (P): How to you orient yourself to the outside world? Some of the main characteristics of the INFP personality include:
Loyal and devoted
Sensitive to feelings
Warm, caring and interested in other people
Strong written communication skills
Prefers to work alone
Values close relationships
Focuses on the ―big picture‖ rather than the details INFPs tend to be introverted, quiet and reserved. Being in social situations tends to drain their energy and they prefer interacting with a select group of close friends. While they like to be alone, this should not necessarily be confused with shyness. Instead, it simply means that INFPs gain energy from spending time alone. On the other hand, they have to expend energy in social situations. INFPS typically rely on intuition and are more focused on the big picture
rather than the nitty-gritty details. They can be quite meticulous about things they really care about or projects they are working on, but tend to ignore mundane or boring details. INFPs place an emphasis on personal feelings and their decisions are more influenced by these concerns rather than by objective information. They also dislike conflict and try to avoid it. When conflicts or arguments do arise, they usually focus more on how the conflict makes them feel rather than the actual details of the argument. During arguments, they might seem overly emotional or even irrational. However, they can also be good mediators by helping the people involved in a conflict identify and express their feelings. When it comes to making decisions, INFPs like to keep their options open. They often delay making important decisions just in case something about the situation changes. When decisions are made, they are usually based on personal values rather than logic. Because they are so reserved and private, it can be difficult for other people to get to know INFPs. They tend to be quite devoted to their circle of close friends and family and place a high importance on the feelings and emotions of their loved ones. Much of their energy is focused inward and characterized by intense feelings and strong values. They tend to be very loyal to the people they love and to beliefs and causes that are important to them. INFPs tend to be very creative, artistic and spiritual. They are often skilled with language, but may prefer to express their thoughts and feelings through writing. Because they have strong ethics and values, they also become
passionate about advocating or defending their beliefs. While they feel strongly about their own values, INFPs are also interested in learning more about others and are willing to listen and consider many sides of an issue. INFPs also have strong interests in making the world a better place. In addition to wanting to gain a greater understanding of themselves and how they fit into the world, they are also interested in how they can best help others. People with this personality type spend a lot of time exploring their own purpose in life and thinking about how they can use their skills and talents to best serve humanity. [mbti – up]

Type Eight Overview
We have named personality type Eight The Challenger because, of all the types, Eights enjoy taking on challenges themselves as well as giving others opportunities that challenge them to exceed themselves in some way. Eights are charismatic and have the physical and psychological capacities to persuade others to follow them into all kinds of endeavors—from starting a company, to rebuilding a city, to running a household, to waging war, to making peace. Eights have enormous willpower and vitality, and they feel most alive when they are exercising these capacities in the world. They use their abundant energy to effect changes in their environment—to ―leave their mark‖ on it— but also to keep the environment, and especially other people, from hurting them and those they care about. At an early age, Eights understand that this requires strength, will, persistence, and endurance—qualities that they
develop in themselves and which they look for in others. Thayer is a stockbroker who has worked intensively on understanding her type Eight personality. She recounts a childhood incident in which she could clearly see the development of this pattern. ―Much of my tenacity and toughness comes from my Dad. He always told me not to ‗let anybody push you around.‘ It was not okay to cry. I learned to master my weaker side early on. At the tender age of eight, a huge horse ran away with me. When an adult caught the horse, I resolutely dismounted without a tear. I could tell my father was proud.‖ Eights do not want to be controlled or to allow others to have power over them (their Basic Fear), whether the power is psychological, sexual, social, or financial. Much of their behavior is involved with making sure that they retain and increase whatever power they have for as long as possible. An Eight may be a general or a gardener, a small businessman or a mogul, the mother of a family or the superior of a religious community. No matter: being ―in charge‖ and leaving their imprint on their sphere is uniquely characteristic of them. Eights are the true ―rugged individualists‖ of the Enneagram. More than any other type, they stand alone. They want to be independent, and resist being indebted to anyone. They often refuse to ―give in‖ to social convention, and they can defy fear, shame, and concern about the consequences of their actions. Although they are usually aware of what people think of them, they do not let the opinions of others sway them. They go about their business with a steely determination that can be awe inspiring, even intimidating to others.
Although, to some extent, Eights fear physical harm, far more important is their fear of being disempowered or controlled in some way. Eights are extraordinarily tough and can absorb a great deal of physical punishment without complaint—a double-edged blessing since they often take their health and stamina for granted and overlook the health and well-being of others as well. Yet they are desperately afraid of being hurt emotionally and will use their physical strength to protect their feelings and keep others at a safe emotional distance. Beneath the tough façade is vulnerability, although it has been covered over by layer of emotional armor. Thus, Eights are often extremely industrious, but at the price of losing emotional contact with many of the people in their lives. Those close to them may become increasingly dissatisfied with this state of affairs, which confounds Eights. (―I don‘t understand what my family is complaining about. I bust my hump to provide for them. Why are they disappointed with me?‖) When this happens, Eights feel misunderstood and may distance themselves further. In fact, beneath their imposing exterior, Eights often feel hurt and rejected, although this is something they seldom talk about because they have trouble admitting their vulnerability to themselves, let alone to anyone else. Because they fear that they will be rejected (divorced, humiliated, criticized, fired, or harmed in some way), Eights attempt to defend themselves by rejecting others first. The result is that average Eights become blocked in their ability to connect with people or to love since love gives the other power over them, reawakening their Basic Fear. The more Eights build up their egos in order to protect themselves, the more sensitive they become to any real or imaginary slight to their self-respect, authority, or preeminence. The more they attempt to make themselves
impervious to hurt or pain (whether physical or emotional), the more they ―shut down‖ emotionally to become hardened and rock-like. When Eights are emotionally healthy, however, they have a resourceful, ―can-do‖ attitude as well as a steady inner drive. They take the initiative and make things happen with a great passion for life. They are honorable and authoritative—natural leaders who have a solid, commanding presence. Their groundedness gives them abundant ―common sense‖ as well as the ability to be decisive. Eights are willing to ―take the heat,‖ knowing that any decision cannot please everyone. But as much as possible, they want to look after the interests of the people in their charge without playing favorites. They use their talents and fortitude to construct a better world for everyone in their lives.
