more testing? Enneagram Test

hehe guys, yet another test: here

And.. i am a type 2 (the Helper) with 3 wing (2W3)
Self-preservation variant

Enneagram Type 2 - The Helper (type2)
Helpers who need to be needed

People of this personality type essentially feel that they are worthy insofar as they are helpful to others. Love is their highest ideal. Selflessness (haha) is their duty. Giving to others is their reason for being. Involved, socially aware, usually extroverted, Twos are the type of people who remember everyone's birthday (uh.. nope) and who go the extra mile (yes.. for sure) to help out a co-worker, spouse or friend in need.

Twos are warm, emotional people who care a great deal about their personal relationships, devote an enormous amount of energy to them, and who expect to be appreciated for their efforts. They are practical people who thrive in the helping professions and who know how to make a home comfortable and inviting. Helping others makes Twos feel good about themselves; being needed makes them feel important; being selfless, makes Twos feel virtuous. Much of a Two's self-image revolves around these issues, and any threat to that self-image is scarcely tolerated. Twos are thoroughly convinced of their selflessness, and it is true that they are frequently genuinely helpful and concerned about others. It is equally true, however, that Twos require appreciation; they need to be needed. Their love is not entirely without ulterior motive.
Twos often develop a sense of entitlement when it comes to the people closest to them. Because they have extended themselves for others, they begin to feel that gratitude is owed to them. They can become intrusive and demanding if their often unacknowledged emotional needs go unmet. They can be bossy and manipulative, feeling entirely justified in being so, because they "have earned the right" and their intentions are good. The darkest side of the type Two fixation appears when the Two begins to feel that they will never receive the love they deserve for all of their efforts. Under such circumstances, they can become hysterical, irrational and even abusive.
Because Twos are generally helping others meet their needs, they can forget to take care of their own. This can lead to physical burnout, emotional exhaustion and emotional volatility. Twos need to learn that they can only be of true service to others if they are healthy, balanced and centered in themselves.

Enneagram Type 3 - The Achiever (type 3)
Focused on the presentation of success, to attain validation


People of this personality type need to be validated in order to feel worthy; they pursue success and want to be admired. They are frequently hard working (haha.. yes always), competetive and are highly focused in the pursuit of their goals, whether their goal is to be the most successful salesman in the company or the "sexiest" (<--ya.. for sure) woman in their social circle. They are often "self-made" and usually find some area in which they can excel and thus find the external approbation which they so desperately need. Threes are socially competent, often extroverted, and sometimes charismatic. They know how to present themselves, are self-confident, practical, and driven. Threes have a lot of energy and often seem to embody a kind of zest for life that others find contagious. They are good networkers who know how to rise through the ranks. But, while Threes do tend to succeed in whatever realm they focus their energies, they are often secretly afraid of being or becoming "losers."

Threes can sometimes find intimacy difficult. Their need to be validated for their image often hides a deep sense of shame about who they really are, a shame they unconsciously fear will be unmasked if another gets too close. Threes are often generous and likable, but are difficult to really know. When unhealthy, their narcissism takes an ugly turn and they can become cold blooded and ruthless in the pursuit of their goals.
Because it is central to the type Three fixation to require external validation, Threes often, consciously and unconsciously, attempt to embody the image of success that is promoted by their culture. Threes get in trouble when they confuse true happiness, which depends on inner states, with the image of happiness which society has promoted. If a Three has a "good" job and an "attractive" mate, she might be willing, through an act of self-deception which is also self-betrayal, to ignore the inner promptings which tell her that neither her job, nor her mate are fulfilling her deeper needs. Even the most "successful" Threes, who generally appear quite happy, often hide a deeply felt sense of meaninglessness. The attainment of the image never quite satisfies.

Personal DNA ~interesting test

the test is here: http://www.personaldna.com/

hehe ppl...my test results: here

You are an Advocating Inventor.


about you
You are an Inventor

Your imagination, self-reliance, openness to new things, and appreciation for utility combine to make you an INVENTOR.
You have the confidence to make your visions into reality, and you are willing to consider many alternatives to get that done.
The full spectrum of possibilities in the world intrigues you—you're not limited by pre-conceived notions of how things should be.
Problem-solving is a specialty of yours, owing to your persistence, curiosity, and understanding of how things work.
Your vision allows you to identify what's missing from a given situation, and your creativity allows you to fill in the gaps.
Your awareness of how things function gives you the ability to come up with new uses for common objects.
It is more interesting for you to pursue excitement than it is to get caught up in a routine.
Although understanding details is not difficult for you, you specialize in seeing the bigger picture and don't get caught up in specifics.
You tend to more proactive than reactive—you don't just wait for things to come to you.
You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.
Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.


If you want to be different:
Try applying your creativity to more artistic arenas, and letting your imagination take less practical forms.



how you relate to others
You are Advocating

Being social, empathic, and understanding makes you ADVOCATING.
Some people find being around others exhausting—but not you! You are energized by spending time with friends, and you are good at meeting new people.
One of the reasons you enjoy conversation as much as you do is that you often learn about yourself while talking things out with a friend; you realize things about your own beliefs while discussing them with others.
You have insight into what others are thinking and feeling. This ability allows you to be happy for others, and to commiserate when something has gone wrong for them.
You are highly compassionate, and being conscious of how things affect those close to you leaves you cautious about trusting others too hastily.
Despite these reservations, you are open-minded when it comes to your worldview; you don't look to impose your ways on others.
Your sensitivity towards others' plights contributes to an understanding—both intellectual and emotional—of many different perspectives.
As someone who understands the complexities of the world around you, you are reluctant to pass judgments.
You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.
Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.


If you want to be different:
While it's important to think about others, don't forget to take some time for yourself, and occassionally to put yourself first.
Take some time to spend with a few close friends; although it's difficult to find people to trust, it's worth the effort.
When you have great ideas, it can be hard to relinquish control, but it can also feel good to take the pressure off and enjoy someone else leading the way.


***
so.... i think its quite right... :)
and.. what i heard on tv today follows to why these personality tests are needed... "the hardest lesson in life is learning about yourself"... which i think its quite right...i know i still have lots to learn about myself...i always seems to surprise myself :P
hehe.. like.. how i surprise so many of my friends... right guys?

July ~ ending?

it is hard to believe we have arrived soooooo soon to the end of july.... haha...

i have finally got together with anita to go downtown... as for shopping we werent interested anymore... and settled on seeing the warhol exhibit... the exhibit/andy was as he is, exceptional in his ways... there wasnt too much at the exhibit that surprised me, it was what i had expected having heard all the comments from everyone else who went already... but although i cant say i got much out of it, i did enjoy it... i didnt like the audio guide much... i mean.. it was a good companion to the exhibit... but sometimes it was a little to explicit in the explaination... it leaves no room to imagine... or for the viewers to really try to connect with the work the way andy presented it... anyways...enough of this talk

july is near the end...next week is the end of july already.... i think july went by way to quickly... it seemed like this month didnt exist at all... when one is busy and enjoying themselves, being productive, motivated... time will go so much faster... i notice that while i'm in school... september suddenly flies to december.. and jan to april seems like 2 weeks... well. not during it... only when looking back... but... i guess what i'm saying is... i've been too busy... not really to the point of exhaustion.. but just good enough to enjoy life, work and play.....

the happiest thing perhaps is really knowing who are the ones i love...or... who are those that love me :) (hehe) by this i mean those who do care for me and are there to always support me... i'm glad we're so close again... i think i really miss being so connected with all of u... its so weird how only when u lose something so precious to u... that u realize there are many other things that you may have abandoned/forgotten that are also precious or even more precious than that of which u lost...

i was talking to an old friend just now... (my dear brother) ... and... i do miss him... although we are so far apart, the friendship, the caring doesnt just end... thx for always being there for me when i'm going through rough times... i hope i was able to be there for u too... i look forward to seeing you again... when... talking to him about old friends... so many of mine are in hk including him... i do kind of wish i went back to see them this summer... (lingling: being one of them)... i think i've had so much love this summer... it overwhelms me.... i often cannot believe it... still...

i'm so used to giving... 100% giving with no expectation... i forget what it is like to receive... the tenderness... soft... mushy... being loved feeling... thx all of u... those who read my blog will know who you are :P

i got all mushy... all because of that one call... (u know who u are :P) haha... jk.. ok? ... but really.. thx for calling... the nice chat was nice...

ok... a msg to u all... i'll be heading back to ottawa in a month... (so soon ... but i'm dying to leave my house) make sure u keep your promises and will call me ar!!! i will always be there for all of you cuz u were all there for me!!! i have a cell phone... haha.. no excuse of not being able to find me... luv u all

perhaps... i was thinking... it really isnt easy to find that one person you've been waiting for... everytime.. i believe u think you've found the right one.. only to find yourself heart broken in the end... anyways... i'm glad some of us has found their "only one"

是你 第一眼我就認出來 這是命運最美麗的安排
是愛 讓你略過慢長等待 我們只要現在相愛 幸福就來
恨我來不及參於你的過去 抱歉讓你等待
我願意付出一切交換 我靈魂的另一半
這個世界唯一的你 是我擁有的奇跡
對我說的一字一句 都是我們的秘密
緊緊擁抱唯一的你 無可救藥的堅定
就算世界與我為敵 我也願意
我什麼都願意 過去所有的悲哀
都只是尋覓我唯一 勇敢 真愛
照亮了漆黑的夜晚 尋找了彼此一輩子 再不分開
恨我來不及參於你的過去 抱歉讓你等待
嗚...耶....
是一個奇跡
....嗚...哦...
ho ...哦...
就算讓我傷盡天理
我什麼都願意為你

Jun 28 - July 1st

haha.... my longest b-day celebration ever.... it was really a b-day marathon.. haha :)

i have to say.. this is the best b-day week ever... of course... thx to all those who treated me to a week of dinners :P

and... those who couldnt join me on my wonderful 24th.... but still remembered me... thx too :) you know who u are... its all about the thought... its the thought that counts right?


and.. for those who forgot... i forgive u... cuz i probably forgot yours...we're even :P

so...after all the celebrating and gifts... i have to say... i'm just glad to have spent time with each and every one of u... thats what i treasure most...


becoming 24... what does it mean? i think between 23 and 24 .. there isnt much of a difference.. one day.. big deal... but ... to think about where in life we are... 24... is when most ppl are out of school... finally... and moving on in their lives... for many of my friends i see the same... we're all going separate ways now... its hard enough remembering b-days as our memory loss begins... and even harder to get together to celebrate... at times like this... it brings a tear to my eyes... i dunno why i'm getting so emotional...

but... life goes on.... enjoy the times now... while we still have this summer to spend with each other... 2 months... is a long time...

so... here are some pics from my days of b-day celebrations:






there seems to be something wrong with blogger... i've uploaded the rest of the photos on my msn space... visit there instead .. haha

so.. we celebrated at center island on canada day... we are drenched by the rain in that pic... it was fun running and playing soccer in the rain... boys vs girls... it got vicious... guess who won!!!! haha... (i'm not gonna say)... we all know inside who won... muahahhaha... anyways.. besides that... a good run is probably what i needed... i havent been sleeping well.. and after a day of exercise... i slept like a baby... so good...

there's something funny about all those pictures... somehow ... we look like we are still fresh out of highschool... as if we never changed... i dun think we really did change all that much... after 5 years.. its like i'm back in the same spot...the same old "silly-na".. hehe ... i should dig out an old pic of us girls and compare... i bet it will be the same :)

enough blabbing... c ya
