Yes, it's yet another personality test.  Specifically, one to find your Enneagram type and wing.

I'm a 6w5, myself, and upon reading the description, it seems to fit.  Anyway, just wondering what results the folks on this forum will get.  Probably fives and sixes for most of us, but maybe I'm way off in that guess.

I got 6w5 as well.

Mind you, it's hard to believe personality test results from a site that endorses chakra and accupressure.

Fair enough, but it's a little more grounded in reality than those things.  And just for fun anyway.

With wings, I'm between 5 and 6, but without wings, I'm type 9, which I called as soon as I saw it on the graph, like that D&D one that pegged me as True Neutral.

Quote
People of this personality type essentially feel a need for peace and harmony. They tend to avoid conflict at all costs, whether it be internal or interpersonal. As the potential for conflict in life is virtually ubiquitous, the Nine's desire to avoid it generally results in some degree of withdrawal from life, and many Nines are, in fact, introverted. Other Nines lead more active, social lives, but nevertheless remain to some to degree "checked out," or not fully involved, as if to insulate themselves from threats to their peace of mind. Most Nines are fairly easy going; they adopt a strategy of "going with the flow." They are generally reliable, sturdy, self-effacing, tolerant and likable individuals.

Nines tend to adopt an optimistic approach to life; they are, for the most part, trusting people who see the best in others; they frequently have a deep seated faith that things will somehow work out. They desire to feel connected, both to other people and to the world at large. They frequently feel most at home in nature and generally make warm and attentive parents.

The Nine's inability to tolerate conflict sometimes translates into an overall conservative approach to change. Change can provoke unpleasant feelings and disrupt the Nine's desire for comfort. Less healthy Nines seem incapable of motivating themselves to move into action and bring about effective change. When change does come however, as it generally will, Nines find that they are usually well able to adapt. They tend to be more resilient than they give themselves credit for. In fact, Nines tend not to give themselves enough credit in general, and their self-effacing attitude often seems to invite others to take them for granted or to overlook their often significant contributions. This can cause a subterranean anger to build inside the Nine's psyche, which can erupt into consciousness in occasional fits of temper which quickly blow over, but which more often manifests itself in passive agressive footdragging. Being overlooked is often a source of a deep sadness in Nines, a sadness that they scarcely ever give voice to.

This isn't just the standard Rorshach horoscope thing; I would've said most of that on my own unprompted, and the other types I looked at aren't me. Like type 8. Not even slightly me. (I would know; I dated a type 8.)
