[Personality Diagnosis] Enneagram and Psychology: Learn the deep personality types!

Hello, I'm miyoshi, in charge of recruitment.

Today I would like to talk about the Enneagram test

Have you heard of the Enneagram test?
It's one of the popular tests out there, but it's interesting because it can help you understand yourself and others.

What is the Enneagram test?

What is the Enneagram test? Well, it's a personality assessment tool that categorizes people's personalities and behavioral patterns into nine types and analyzes the characteristics and thought patterns of each type. It
's also used in the field of human resources to determine the appropriate placement of employees and job matching.

The Enneagram has
"core types" and "wing types " Core types the personality traits that a person possesses most strongly among the nine basic types (Types 1 to 9) .
Wing types are influenced by types adjacent to the core type.

For example, a Type 4 can be influenced by either Type 3 or Type 5, and are expressed as 4w3 or 4w5.
Wings are supplementary characteristics that are added to the core type, allowing for a more specific and complex personality.

By digging deeper into your underlying motivations and behavioral patterns through an Enneagram assessment and deepening your self-understanding, you may be able to understand the situations in which you are most likely to feel stressed and in which situations you are most likely to perform well, which may also lead to improved communication and teamwork

I took the Enneagram test

So I also got diagnosed

The result was " Type 4 Wing 5 (4w5)"! When I took the test before, I was
Type 5 Wing 4 Type 4 is " The Individualist" and Type 5 is " The Investigator ."
Either way, it seems that I have strong elements of both.

As for their strengths, they are particularly interested in creative fields and often utilize their unique sensibilities in art and literature.
Because they have a rich inner world and a desire to seek knowledge, they are able to analyze information deeply and make calm judgments.

On the downside, he says he can sometimes be overly argumentative, feel lonely, and tend to withdraw into his shell. (;・∀・)

Yes, that certainly rings true.
When I find myself overthinking, I try to use my 5th Wing's logical thinking to find a balanced perspective.

How to make use of the diagnosis

I feel like I have gained a deeper understanding of myself through the Enneagram assessment

By knowing the strengths and weaknesses unique to each type, you and your colleagues, you can use them effectively in your work and workplace

It will help you find ways to optimize roles to make the most of each person's strengths, and how to interact with each other in your everyday interactions to create a comfortable environment for both parties

I think it's also important to understand your weaknesses. Understand what situations make you feel stressed, and what habits and tendencies you have. Then you can analyze and think about whether to avoid those situations or find ways to deal with them

I felt that it was not just about self-development, but also an important means of maintaining good relationships with others and putting what I learned into practice at work

 

Previously, another member wrote an article about 16Personalities

[Self-analysis] Isn't there only one personality? See your changing self through 16Personalities

This focuses on superficial personality tendencies—how you interact with people and process information—
while the Enneagram assessment focuses on deeper psychological motivations and behavioral patterns.

Neither tool is better or worse than the other, but each tool captures personality from a different perspective.
It's a good idea to try out different tools based on your interests and goals!

summary

We have discussed how the Enneagram assessment can help you understand your underlying motivations and patterns of thinking and behavior

That being said, I think any diagnosis should only be used as a guide.
It's like a form of entertainment.
It's just a general idea, and ultimately each person has their own unique characteristics and personality.

When someone puts into words the indescribable feelings and emotions inside me and tells me I'm "this type of person," I sometimes feel a little relieved (at least for me)

I will try not to feel like I know the other person, and I will not slack off on trying to get to know them, but rather to look at the person in front of me

If you're interested, please take the test! (You can take the test here ('ω')ノJapan Enneagram Society )

 

Finally, with the paw of my beloved cat.
See you! =^_^=
