hug "Nines frequently mistype themselves as they have a rather diffuse sense of their own identities. This is exacerbated by the fact that Nines often merge with their loved ones and through a process of identification take on the characteristics of those closest to them. Female Nines frequently mistype as Twos, especially if they are the mothers are small children."

Thanks, its to my detriment though as I have figured out that people often rely on me too heavily which can be draining. I've only this past few months learned how to say "no" to people.

Guess its pretty spot on so thumbs up

Yeah be careful you don't become a doormat and take time out to look after yourself instead of just worrying about others.grin hug

Hi Ywave
Do you identify with the 2? Type 1 and 9 were close behind so I wouldn't rule them out completely.teddybear Check out all three and see which you identify with most i.e.
9: I must maintian a peaceful and easygoing environment to be happy.
2: I must be helpful and caring to be happy.
1: I must be perfect and good to be happy.

In my younger days I would have been more of a 2 or 1, but got sense lol.

I suppose I dont agree with any of them completely.

Laralou: LC has been sorted thanks GS! As a type one I will only give one warning!!!

Type 5 is very interesting. I think my dad is a type 5 but he has a lot of perfectionistic tendencies. However what distinguishes a type 5 is their thirst for knowledge, their ability to be very analytical (could come across as perfectionism?) and their desperate need for their own space (possibly a workshop?) as they fear having their energy drained by others.
Check out:or


That lady in the first vid was very similar to me, except for the parent being alchoholics uh oh Have the second one playing now, thanks! Very interesting! conversing

I suppose I do have a need for knowledge and for understanding the reasoning behind things, I'm very much atheist and have no spiritual beliefs because I believe there are rational explanations to everything. I wont settle for blind faith!

You're right too with regard own space (possibly the workshop) I need to work alone, I dont want anyone helping me or near me, I'm happiest in that scenario doing my own thing how I want to do it and at my own pace, other people just make things difficult roll eyes

Been giving it some thought Macca. You could possibly be a nine with an 8 influence known as the Referee. Nines will always try to avoid conflict however 8s are very protective of their loved ones or those they see as weak or vulnerable and will go head to head if necessary to defend them. Could be you are calm in most situations apart from when you feel your family/friends are being threatened? dunno hug
