Personality Test

I took a personality test called the Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator (RHETI) sample test. The real test is over 100 questions and costs money, so I did the free, poor-post-grad version.

The Adventurer (the Seven)

Adventurers are energetic, lively, and optimistic. They want to contribute to the world.
How to Get Along with Me
  • Give me companionship, affection, and freedom.
  • Engage with me in stimulating conversation and laughter.
  • Appreciate my grand visions and listen to my stories.
  • Don't try to change my style. Accept me the way I am.
  • Be responsible for youself. I dislike clingy or needy people.
  • Don't tell me what to do.
What I Like About Being a Seven
  • being optimistic and not letting life's troubles get me down
  • being spontaneous and free-spirited
  • being outspoken and outrageous. It's part of the fun.
  • being generous and trying to make the world a better place
  • having the guts to take risks and to try exciting adventures
  • having such varied interests and abilities
What's Hard About Being a Seven
  • not having enough time to do all the things I want
  • not completing things I start
  • not being able to profit from the benefits that come from specializing; not making a commitment to a career
  • having a tendency to be ungrounded; getting lost in plans or fantasies
  • feeling confined when I'm in a one-to-one relationship
Sevens as Children Often
  • are action oriented and adventuresome
  • drum up excitement
  • prefer being with other children to being alone
  • finesse their way around adults
  • dream of the freedom they'll have when they grow up
Sevens as Parents
  • are often enthusiastic and generous
  • want their children to be exposed to many adventures in life
  • may be too busy with their own activities to be attentive (Renee Baron & Elizabeth Wagele)
