Enneagram

I've written in the past about the kinds of labels that feel pathologizing. But if I'm honest, I'm also obsessed with personality quizzes. Not that I use them to make any important life decisions, but when they feel like they fit, they can be interesting glimpses into the ways in which I behave.

How These Labels Help Me as Someone With Complex PTSD

Do you enjoy taking personality quizzes? If so, which ones do you like and how do they reflect your story?

Personality tests are a dime a dozen and I don't take much stock in them aside from entertainment value. However, sometimes they are pretty darn accurate. I've taken the Enneagram Type test numerous times and I always come out a Type 3-Achiever. Characterized as a "workaholic," type 3's often seek validation for achievement. Their identity is formed around succeeding and productivity. They get anxious when they feel like they are wasting time. Guilty as charged. I can be super driven and also have a tendency toward being envious when someone else is successful at something which I HATE to admit. My constant challenge is to recognize that I can do something just for me without anyone else acknowledging it. And I need to learn to take a break sometimes.
