Happy Valentines Day!

Instead of a mushy "I LOVE YOU GUYS" speech, I thought I'd give you all something to work on. It's a two question quiz, but it shows SO much about your personality and how others interact with you. Use it for any situation- work, home, play- your enneagram rating follows you in all life relationships.



the Questioner
You chose CY - your Enneagram type is SIX.

"I am affectionate and skeptical"


Questioners are responsible, trustworthy, and value loyalty to family, friends, groups, and causes. Their personalities range broadly from reserved and timid to outspoken and confrontative.
