Hi Evelyn,
I am also a 4 and so I enjoyed reading this article all the more!
You wrote:
“I am at heart, a creative person, lover of beauty and highly aware of my inner life. Authenticity is what sits in the throne of my Being. My life plan is to convert pain, ugliness and illusions into beauty through creativity, inspiration, vision and compassion.”

In my own studies with the Enneagram, I could not have come across a better description of my profile. Thanks!

I really enjoyed your perspective. Stumbled!

Hello Rosabel, sometimes we look at ourselves too close up that we are unable to see clearly who we are. Just imagine your palm in front of you. As you move it nearer and nearer, the vision of your palm gets blurred.

Perfectionists are cool, because they lent order and discipline. They are also natural leaders!

Glad that you are liking Enneagram! Have fun!

Evelyn

It’s interesting! I took the online test as well. I didn’t know that I’m a perfectionist myself, though many said that I am one.

Hello Maya, you may well be a 7 with an influence of the 8-wing or the other way round. The question to ask is whether your energy center is more gut or head-based. Are you more instinctual or do you have to think things through?

Thanks for liking the analysis here, even from the comments. With the questions posted, I’m also learning here. I’m happy to check out answers to respond, if I don’t already know them.

Love, light and truth,
Evelyn

Evelyn,

This is very very fascinating. I guessed I would be a 7 but my test score said I am an 8. Score aside, I really like how it sets us thinking in the direction of our dominant type.

I also really appreciate your elaborate responses to the comments here - I did a bit of learning from your responses as well.

Thx!

@Stacey, that is great! I’m only just beginning to learn about the Enneagram. It is really fascinating!

@NaTuRal, even your nickname reflects your easy going style!! I’m glad to be friends with a 9!

I love the Enneagram. I’m a type 6 who is very connected to 3. I’ve studied it with one of the grandfather’s of the Enneagram. It’s great stuff and very helpful when working with and talking to people.

@Dr Carson, I’m not sure if I should be taking your comment seriously. Your blog has so many stunning pictures in it. I’m sure this is why you blog: you want to share them with the world. You’ve got an eye for beauty, even in the littlest things. Aren’t you cultivating joy when you are engaged in your photography or writing your creative posts? You may be a four or have a strong-four wing.

@Caroline, if you’ve got any questions, don’t forget to post them here!
