but I have a problem with such tests. We answer from our own perspective, so it is well possible that we will have "idealized" results.

It would be interesting to let someone who knows us well and spends much time with us answer for us.

I agree, it`s for fun.

But I rememberd that I once was doing these enneagram tests with friends of mine, and the boyfriend of my best friend saw himself completely different than we would have. On top of that the way he was acting completely contradicted the things he said about himself. Okay, he was a Psycho, maybe that explains some things.

But I also had a phase when I was really fascinated with those personality tests, and I actually did them myself, but also let my family members and best friends make them for me (I did that for them, too) - and it was VERY interesting and led to fruitful talks and helped all of us to really see us through the eyes of others.
sometimes it`s fascinating what others will see in us, what we have never seen in ourselves, but that is still true and reveals a side of us, that has been obvious to others all along, even if we didnīt see it ouselves, good and bad sides.

Of course it doesn`t mean that others ALWAYS see us like we ARE, but neither do we ourselvves. Probably there is no way we REALLY ARE, but we are highlighting different sides of ourselves in the contact with others.
Intriguing.

I remember my brother called me "argumentative" and "assertive in intellectual things" - I would never ever have thought that about myself. Never realized that about m e. But I must say he is true, I CAN be almost aggressive when it comes to discussing things that are of value to me or if I feel threatened in my opinion. I mean intellectually aggressive and stubborn. My Aqua Moon is in a fixed sign after all and the dispositor is Uranus in Scorpio in 11th house, ruling the 3rd.
Astrologically I definitely can see that "intellectual assertiveness", but never saw it in myself.

It is not always there though, but since I realized that it was sometimes there, I found a way to "work" with it. Not always the best way, but it is a beginning.

When someone says that they can relate to something - you can't dispute that. That's inside themselves. No matter what you may think about it. You never truly know what goes on inside another person or the perception of their world. Only they can hold that. You can question someone's self-honesty, but your world may not be like theirs.

Back from the fireworks show. Seems that we may have interpreted it differently.

How do you mean please? I am not saying anything about "chakras" just that this test appears to be accurate based on my result of it and my own chakras.

Thanks Katatonic for clarifying. I thought maybe he'd run out of beetlejuice or something hehe

Would anyone appreciate it if l gave you a simple technique to open up all your base chakra's? That would in turn open the 2nd and allow conscious stream to the 3rd
