This is a test...testing 1 2 3

Okay, this is one of those crazy personality tests that people sometimes send you. This test only had two questions. And it was surprisingly accurate. Here is a little insight into who I am...

the Romantic

Test finished!
you chose BY - your Enneagram type is FOUR.


"I am unique"



Romantics have sensitive feelings and are warm and perceptive.



How to Get Along with Me



  • Give me plenty of compliments. They mean a lot to me.

  • Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value
    myself.

  • Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision.

  • Though I don't always want to be cheered up when I'm feeling melancholy,
    I sometimes like to have someone lighten me up a little.

  • Don't tell me I'm too sensitive or that I'm overreacting!


What I Like About Being a Four


  • my ability to find meaning in life and to experience feeling at a deep
    level

  • admiring what is noble, truthful, and beautiful in life

  • my creativity, intuition, and sense of humor

  • being unique and being seen as unique by others

  • having aesthetic sensibilities

  • being able to easily pick up the feelings of people around me




What's Hard About Being a Four


  • experiencing dark moods of emptiness and despair

  • feelings of self-hatred and shame; believing I don't deserve to be loved

  • feeling guilty when I disappoint people

  • feeling hurt or attacked when someone misundertands me

  • expecting too much from myself and life

  • fearing being abandoned


  • obsessing over resentments

  • longing for what I don't have



Fours as Children Often

    original game
    s

  • are very sensitive

  • feel that they don't fit in

  • believe they are missing something that other people have

    divorce)
