Enneagram

I mentioned the enneagram last blog without explaining - I have found this a lot less useful than the MB, - it is not as well based - but still it was of some interest - I found it interesting as it did seem to pinpoint how my husband and I though same MBT were different -I will wait for him to respond and tell you what he is , but I either come out -depending on which test - as a helper type 2 or individualist type 4. I suspect this is - as they say on the site below - that women are taught to be 2s - I suspect my mum is one too, but my natural preference may be more 4 - though I dont find either type entirely accurate.

personality and marriage

in the discussion of personality we are having (see also iloveasunnyday blog)

another interesting point: what personalities make good marriages?
andrew and cec - see blog below on blogging and type - enfj and entj. This may be a very good match - not all the same, so there is complementarity, especially on the male/female related dimension of T/F , but also enough the same to give compatibility.

My husband and I are the same type..... we agree a lot, which is nice, and like doing a lot of the same things. But it means we have the same weaknesses. 2 Ps is very chaotic - I find myself as the moderate P having to be J in the marriage. He has to do likewise on T, as I am an extreme F.

However, we do come out as different personalities on Enneagram.
