Back from training

Well, I am back and plugged in electronically after being pretty much completely disconnected from my regular life for a week.

It was quite an experience, different than I thought it would be but of course it had to be. Very valuable and something I will be processing for some time to come. As hard as it was and as grateful I am to be back where I can relax, there is a lot of it I really miss. I know I can’t live in that space but part of me really wishes I could.

I am once again burbling with enneagram information. Since this is sooooo important to me, I try really hard not to push it on people (as everyone is wont to do with things that are important to them). If anyone is interested in the pool of information I have, you will probably have to ask me. I will be happy (even ecstatic) to share. If I am downloading information on you that you don’t want, please let me know because I am probably running away with myself without noticing.

For those that have a clue about the enneagram, we had 11 type 7s, the most of any one type the teachers ever had at one training (the next largest group was 10 type 2s and 10 type 4s). Last year there was just two type 7s, me and another guy. It was delightful, enlightening, scary to get to experience the energy from people like me. I found out that I am not atypical, but much more stereotypical of the type. The amount of depression and pain that all of us have was pretty amazing when normally people only see the bright happy bubbly side, even others of our same type.

    1. There is a sampler test available. I would say it is about 60% accurate. One of the problems with tests is that the enneagram is about motivations but you can only observe your behaviors. It is possible to have the same behavior but different motivations. When answering the questions, think about how you have been in the past, not how you are now. Your 20s is when you were probably the most like your type. I would love to know what you come out as. Print the page with all the numbers. As you know more, that information might get more interesting.

  1. It definitely is tough to see the down side of a 7; it’s always shocking to me when I see one of them unhappy, even though I oughta know better.

    And I’m always interested in hearing about this kind of thing.
