the shape test

Rectangle: This is a transitional, temporary or chameleon shape. They are very perceptive and never study themselves introspectively (but when they do, things will be great). This shape presents at life landmarks such as adolescence and mid-life crisis. They are sociable, friendly, open-minded and unpredictable. They are looking for love and harmony, without personal commitment. They are motivated by the 4th emotional referral zone* and forgiveness. Their greatest fear is finding their true self and accountability (they live by "say what others need, and do what you want"). Enneagram** correlate: The mediator. Dress and material possessions: non-committal.
A Rectangle likes structure and regularity. But she/he will establish it with organization, meetings, committees and so forth. This will have to be done the proper way, taking all rules and regulations into consideration. If given a task she/he will start organizing to be sure it can be done the most systematic way.
The Rectangle is a convergent thinker working towards something specific and finite, and the rectangle does things in a logical and systematic way. But rectangles might be lacking in personal creativity.
If things need to be organized amongst a group of people, then the Rectangle is most likely to make that happen.
A Rectangle needs to see how things are organized. A Rectangle needs to make a systematic overview and will probably also enjoy understanding the principles of a situation. A Rectangle is comfortable knowing and noticing that systematic techniques are being used and that he/she is in control.

Triangle: These people are headliners. They are highly charged and always on the go. Emotions are not often shown. They like to hold a high moral ground and to convince others they are right. They can be great lovers. They are motivated by the 2nd emotional referral zone* and the desire to reach their highest potential. They are afraid of an unfair advantage being held over them. When upset, they want things done now. When under stress they become belligerent. If they are made to solve someone else's problems, at the expense of being heard themselves, they become angry. Enneagram** correlate: The perfectionist, the boss. Dress and material possessions: value oriented.
A Triangle is goal oriented. A Triangle enjoys planning something out and then doing it. Triangles are motivated by the accomplishment. Triangles tend to look at big long-term issues, but might forget the details. When given a task a triangle will set a goal and work on a plan for it.
A Triangle needs to see a goal and needs to see some accomplishments. Triangles appreciate having a chart of steps to follow. Triangles will take great pleasure in checking off each item that gets done. It should always be clear what the underlying intention is. If the direction is agreed upon, the Triangle can be quite flexible in how to get there.
Triangles are convergent thinkers. They are working towards something specific and finite, and they do it in a logical and systematic way. But they might be lacking in personal creativity.
A Triangle might be a good executive, setting goals and making sure they are met

OK....I'll post the explanations.....lots of circles I see!

Explanation of shapes: You can have a primary…and then a secondary…. The Enneagram provides a greater level of insight into the challenge that each of us faces. While nine distinct personality types (enneagram) are defined, each has an underlying issue associated with it.
If you want the Enneagrams…mail me and I’ll give you the site…

RE: WHO SMOKES?

RE: DEDICATE A SONG TO SOMEONE ON THIS SITE

Just wanted to make you smile....

Snow Patrol...Set the fire to the third bar



I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from A to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science

Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
and I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

And miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
and I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms
