The Enneagram is a popular personality test that prides itself on helping you play to your strengths and discover your weaknesses based on your basic desires and fears. This is an intricate system that many people devote their lives to, and here are a few starters to help you discover which "type" you are and excel from there!

1. So what the heck are types?

https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/how-the-enneagram-system-works/

The Enneagram has 9 "types," or categories, that give a general overview of your general personality. As the Enneagram Institute likes to put it, "if you were to describe yourself in a few words, which of the following word clusters would come closest?" If you click on the link above, it will take you to a page that lists all of the types and their basic traits, desires, and fears.

2. What type are you?

This test from Enneagram User Guide has 36 questions (like the one above) and ranks the types, allowing you to find out which ones you tend towards. This is a great basis to explore the types that you score highest on to see which one you agree with most.

3. Are you sure?

And another one

5. Don't forget the wing

According to the Enneagram Institute, "No one is a pure personality type: everyone is a unique mixture of his or her basic type and usually one of the two types adjacent to it on the circumference of the Enneagram. One of the two types adjacent to your basic type is called your wing."

6. So what's your wing?

This test, again from Enneagram User Guide, gives you three results that include your main type and your wing. Once again, with 3 options, it allows you to further research for yourself to figure out which fits you best.

7. But I kind of feel like parts of a few types?

So, looking back, you may feel strongly with your wing type. However, is there another type that keeps popping up that you agree with, too? Katherine Chernick Fauvre and David W. Fauvre came up with the idea of a tri-type.

According to the Enneagram User Guide, tri-types "basically look at an individual in terms of three types. An individual identifies the dominant type from each center (i.e., one type from the gut center: 891, one type from the heart center: 234, and one type from the head center: 567)."

Linked is a test that you can take to identify your tri-types!

8. Have fun with it!

Besides using the Enneagram to figure out your strengths and weaknesses, motivations and fears, you can also use it for other fun things like getting to know people around you better! Or just fall down the rabbit hole of Instagram and do bingos or try typing fictional characters!

Are you intrigued? There are also some great books on this topic, too, if you wanna check them out!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
