Cotton-Pickin’ Days

After taking the learning style inventory test last week, KathyF suggested I try the Enneagram Personality Type Indicator test.

Here are my results:

I’m most like Type 3: The Motivator. The adaptable, success-oriented type. Score 8.

I’m least like Type 6: The Skeptic. The committed, security-oriented type. Score -6.

Here are some tips for you on how to get along with me, a type 3 motivator:

• Leave me alone when I am doing my work.
• Give me honest, but not unduly critical or judgmental, feedback.
• Help me keep my environment harmonious and peaceful.
• Don’t burden me with negative emotions.
• Tell me you like being around me.
• Tell me when you’re proud of me or my accomplishments.

Ironically, this was one of my favorite t-shirts in grad school.

Nobody can score as high as Christina!

Your EQ is 120

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick! 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you’d have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You’ve got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You’re average. It’s easy to predict how you’ll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities - you’ve either out “Dr. Phil-ed” Dr. Phil… or you’re a dirty liar.

What’s your learning style? Lilian and I couldn’t be more different and I suspect my sister and I are too.

Here are my scores from taking the learning style inventory test made-up of 70 questions. No real surprises. I’ve never been one for numbers, graphs, and charts, preferring words instead. And as social as I appear to be, I need a lot of alone time too. Working independently also suits me much better than having to manage others.

The scores are out of 20 for each style. A score of 20 indicates you use that style often.

Solitary 16
Verbal 15
Social 11
Aural 10
Logical 8
Visual 7
Physical 2

Those that have a strong solitary style include authors, researchers, park rangers and security guards.

Pursuits that use the verbal style include public speaking, debating, politics, writing and journalism.

What scores did you get?

Love these results! I played Lucy in my elementary school play.

Which Peanuts Character Are You?
	You are part Lucy van Pelt. You know what you want and you know how to get it, even if it means pulling the football away. Your forwardness sometimes comes off as aggression, and you have some work to do in the sensitivity department.
	You are part Schroeder. You are brilliant, ambitious, and brooding; you tackle tasks with extreme focus. People don’t always interest you as much as other pursuits, though, so you can come off as aloof.

As my high school teachers would attest, I wasn’t always paying attention. Some of my favorite “extracurricular” activities during class were: leaning my head against wall, passing notes, talking, and reading a novel hidden on my lap.

What were you doing in high school?

“No bad words were found.”

I think they must have missed something.

…but not with envy.

These results are so dead WRONG. Although Lilian’s might not be too far off.
