Your result for The Quick & Painless ENNEAGRAM Test...

2 - the Helper

you chose CX - your Enneagram type is TWO (aka "The Charmer").

"I must help others"

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.



• Share fun times with me.



• 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

• being able to relate easily to people and to make friends



• 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

You are important to me! You are definitely special - you're the reason I'm even on LJ! I appreciate you - probably more than you even know - specifically (but not inclusively!) for: your willingness to take me under your wing; the amount of time you spend on things for me, even though I know you're busy; your honesty; that you don't talk down to me because I'm younger. Also, talking about The West Wing with you makes me feel like I'm not alone in spending (what others would probably consider to be) unhealthy amounts of time thinking about Josh and Donna. :) And you told me about Boeing Boeing, so both P and I are grateful for that!

You rock! And I kind of suck for needing prompting to tell you...
