Helpers are warm, concerned, nurturing, and sensitive to other people's needs.

How to Get Along with Me

• Tell me that you appreciate me. Be specific.

• Take an interest in my problems, though I will probably try to focus on yours.
• Let me know that I am important and special to you.
• Be gentle if you decide to criticize me.

In Intimate Relationships

• Reassure me that I am interesting to you.
• Reassure me often that you love me.
• Tell me I'm attractive and that you're glad to be seen with me.

What I Like About Being a TWO

• knowing what people need and being able to make their lives better
• being generous, caring, and warm
• being sensitive to and perceptive about others' feelings
• being enthusiastic and fun-loving, and having a good sense of humor

What's Hard About Being a TWO

• not being able to say no
• having low self-esteem
• feeling drained from overdoing for others
• not doing things I really like to do for myself for fear of being selfish
• criticizing myself for not feeling as loving as I think I should
• being upset that others don't tune in to me as much as I tume in to them
• working so hard to be tactful and considerate that I suppress my real feelings

TWOs as Children Often

• are very sensitive to disapproval and criticism
• try hard to please their parents by being helpful and understanding
• are outwardly compliant
• are popular or try to be popular with other children
• act coy, precocious, or dramatic in order to get attention
• are clowns and jokers (the more extroverted TWOs), or quiet and shy (the more introverted TWOs)

TWOs as Parents

• are good listeners, love their children unconditionally, and are warm and encouraging (or suffer guilt if they aren't)
• are often playful with their children
• wonder: "Am I doing it right?" "Am I giving enough?" "Have I caused irreparable damage?"
• can become fiercely protective

5 - the Observer

Thanks for taking the test !

you chose BZ - your Enneagram type is FIVE (aka "The Thinker").

"I need to understand the world"

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

How to Get Along with Me

• Be independent, not clingy.



• Speak in a straightforward and brief manner.



• I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts.



• Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that
  I am feeling uncomfortable.



• Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your
  sincerity.



• If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because
  it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place.



• don't come on like a bulldozer.



• Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud music,
  overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy.

What I Like About Being a FIVE

• standing back and viewing life objectively



• coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects



• my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure



• not being caught up in material possessions and status



• being calm in a crisis

What's Hard About Being a FIVE

• being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world



• feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all



• being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be



• watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or
  technical skill, do better professionally

FIVEs as Children Often

• spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on



• have a few special friends rather than many



• are very bright and curious and do well in school



• have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers
  



• watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information



• assume a poker face in order not to look afraid



• are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict



• feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected

FIVEs as Parents

• are often kind, perceptive, and devoted



• are sometimes authoritarian and demanding



• may expect more intellectual achievement than is developmentally appropriate
  



• may be intolerant of their children expressing strong emotions

You're such a librarian! GRIN

I'm an 8 today. On the full enneagram (about 100 questions), I'm a 2 or an 8, depending on my mood.

Interesting...what a combination!
