I guess I am trying to keep the honour of being a bigger idiot than Ian.
6. Because of the similarities between aspies and fives, fives struggle less with aspie traits than aspies with other enneatypes.
I'm guessing that this could be true. It might be easier for 5s to make the aspie traits work for them. And the converse might also be true. For example, the aspie drive to honesty and the naivete makes me more open than the typical 5. There's a liberating "who really cares what other people think" attitude.
Actually, I agree with all of your conclusions.
And I'm not wholly convinced that I'm a 5--lots of 1 and 8 and 6 traits in me--I've wondered with aspieness would do to an 8. The people who both know the enneagram and have met me in real life (6 of them) have all but one thought I was a 5 (the other one thought I could be a 7).
LOL! (re: last two sentences above)
True, one can grow a lot in 14 years (56 vs 42)--I probably grew more, though, in the 14 years between 24-38. Regarding my signature....I read that line when I was about 20...it has always struck a chord with me....definitely, I interpret it as a desire to learn, to understand, to figure things out, to figure myself out. Something like seeing how aspieness has influenced my life is one of those missing pieces--that is, the piece was missing until I found out about asperger's in my late 40s. There are probably still other big pieces missing. So...my answer is yes and no--I've figured out some stuff but there's always always more. And I still need to figure out what I want to do when I grow up
For the first enneagram test I am most likely a five with a four wing.
It would seem that I hit the 5w6 category as well, even though there are other potential categories I could fit into.
Enneagram test results
You are most likely a type 5.
Taking wings into account, you seem to be a 5w6.
No personality test is completely accurate. Although several measures were taken to make this test as accurate as possible, there's always a chance that you are not typed correctly by it. Therefore, when deciding which Enneagram type and wing you are, you might also want to consider the types with the highest test scores on the lists below.
(Note that your lowest scores may be omitted.)
Type 5 - 11.7
Type 1 - 9.7
Type 6 - 7
Type 4 - 5
Wing 5w6 - 15.2
Wing 5w4 - 14.2
Wing 6w5 - 12.8
Wing 4w5 - 10.8
Wing 1w2 - 9.7
Wing 1w9 - 9.7
Wing 6w7 - 7
Wing 4w3 - 5
I don't think I've ever "left" anywhere... been banned (erm, WP, *cough, cough*), but not really left.
More often I slowly dwindle out and then once in awhile pop back in for a looksie, a little wave, and then I leave again.
In the classic enneagram test my result was:
"You are most likely a type 5.
Taking wings into account, you seem to be a 5w4."
The types with the highest test scores were:
" Type 5 - 11
Type 4 - 7.7
Type 9 - 7.3
Type 6 - 3"
I just tested as a 3w4.
It makes sense because I have huge ambitions and I'm always afraid that I'm going to end up being a loser.
I'm speculating that 3 would be a fairly rare type for autistics--the 3's strength (one of them) lies in being able to easily adapt an image to fit the prevailing expectation of whatever contexts the 3 inhabits.
It's probably not so rare if you take into consideration that it's probably defined by that the 3's try to adapt an image to fit the expectation of success; that's no guarantee that they would be successful in that. I hope that I made sense.
My mistake: I just realized that there are only 18 possible combinations on the Enneagram, and 6w4 is not one of them.
Only because 6 and 4 are not seen as "next to each other" in a relatively arbitrary classification system. I'd wonder why 6w4 should not be possible.
I should add that I also score pretty high as a 1 sometimes. So, a 1 and a 3...makes sense to me.
You are most likely a type 3 or 6.
Taking wings into account, you seem to be a 6w5.
It is not clear from these test results which Enneagram type and wing you are.
To determine your true type, you might want to start by considering the types with the highest scores on the lists below. Also, there are many fine books and other websites that contain detailed descriptions of the types. Consulting these might give you the information you need to determine your true type. As knowing your Enneagram type involves self-knowledge, you might want to observe and analyze your behavior and motivations. You might also benefit from taking the test again later.
(Note that your lowest scores may be omitted.)
Type 3 - 8
Type 6 - 8
Type 8 - 7.3
Type 5 - 6.7
Type 9 - 4.7
Type 7 - 4.7
Wing 6w5 - 11.3
Wing 5w6 - 10.7
Wing 6w7 - 10.3
Wing 8w7 - 9.7
Wing 8w9 - 9.7
Wing 3w2 - 8.8
Wing 3w4 - 8.8
Wing 7w6 - 8.7
Wing 9w8 - 8.3
Wing 7w8 - 8.3
Wing 5w4 - 7.5
Wing 9w1 - 6.3
First (moderately) accurate results I get. Yay, only 1 4 in sight, and 7 isn't extremely high either.
The description of 4 on that site is so sad, if you ask me. Reminds me of my ex-boyfriend (Neuty / Wolf from the chat), a self-absorbed overly emotional emo kid. And I used to act like that, too. *sighs...*
Maybe someday I can finally be rid of all my emotions and emo feelings.
I seem to be one of those 5's with a 4 wing myself.
Of course, some conflicts are not over misunderstandings.
