Comments on: How Would You Cross The River? http://www.abundancetapestry.com/how-would-you-cross-the-river/ Love Yourself, Love Your Life Tue, 07 Feb 2012 04:42:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Liara Covert http://www.abundancetapestry.com/how-would-you-cross-the-river/comment-page-2/#comment-6777 Liara Covert Thu, 16 Oct 2008 22:17:47 +0000 http://www.attractionmindmap.com/?p=299#comment-6777 This is a fascinating post. Its interesting to note that some people do not fit comfortably or easily into one particular category. I am familiar with mixed personality types that would feel they fall under more than one number described by this spiritual roadmap. To me, each experience is a new opportunity to learn more about yourself. Raising self-awareness is meaningful. This is a fascinating post.

If you have one, I'm sure that I'd hop on and dance across too!! Thanks for liking this post! @CK Reyes, no...I have not read the book yet. I'd be keen to read it, if it is any good. I'd be posting more articles on Enneagram. Do keep a lookout for them! @Grace, definitely a clever idea to build logs across the river!

@CK Reyes, no…I have not read the book yet. I’d be keen to read it, if it is any good. I’d be posting more articles on Enneagram. Do keep a lookout for them!

I'm pretty sure that most of the bloggers would report the same. But according to the Enneagram, we have a home base, a core. It is the core that drives most if not all of our actions. If we can know what exact Type we are, we also have a clearer idea of our gifts, temptations, stress points, etc. The Enneagram is different from other personality tests. It is a dynamic system. It is a way to show you out of the "box" that you are in. One of the pitfalls of other personality profiling tests is that you are put into a box (a defined set of attributes) but then, you are not shown the way out. Enneagram helps you with this. Oh yes...do come back to my site. I'd be exploring more stuff about the Enneagram. I've been trying to make space for learning from my coach. His experience and knowledge is helpful in understanding Enneagram's practical applications rather than reading from a book. Thanks for enjoying my post!

Have you read, "The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram?" I love it. How do you imagine one would look for their purpose in life according to each number? I'd be very interested to have your opinion on this... I’ve taken a class on the enneagram and my number came up as 70% when I took this free test.

What nice wings, though. A very nice introduction to Enneagram work! My favorite creek has recently taken to replacing the stepping stones with LOGS to traverse across. Not half as much fun!

I tested out as a type 5, but I can guarantee I would be a type 1 or 8 in the river crossing scenario. The good thing about these tests is that they make us think, but I don't know how much we can take away from they type we test out as. Enjoyed the article, so I will be back.

When I took the test, I ended up with a different Type. In my opinion, if you have been working on yourself and are very involved in your self growth, you would have gathered a ton of healthy traits across all Types. It's easy to be off the mark. Also, if you have in your life experience encountered many different situations, you would have employed different life strategies. I shared more of these in my new post. It's good to reflect and determine what your underlying motivations are. Honestly, I won't be surprised if you are a One with a strong 2-wing! Thanks for participating in the fun! I have to confess that I enjoy provoking my readers into more thought and challenging them on the creative front! Love, light and truth, Evelyn Hi Katie, don’t rely on the online test totally.

Funny. Same thing happens when I take the Myers Briggs. I was almost exactly even in several different categories. 1, 2, 9, 7, 6, 3 were all within a couple points of each other. But ultimately, I guess I would say I am a 1 with a strong 2 wing. So much fun. As usual, you have great energizing posts! Thanks, Katie Funny. Funny. Same thing happens when I take the Myers Briggs.

You used the words "hate to admit it" in your feedback. In my opinion, there is nothing to be ashamed of. It's just the way you are; being more careful and all. We need diversity, otherwise we'd all end up the same! @Mizfit, that's nice! You are the nurturing type that friends and family like to turn to! @Katie, I hope this post did not rob you of too much sleep...LOL!! Yes...there is no wrong or bad Type, really. Eights may be more empowered but they are not as "giving" as compared to the Nines. What's important is to embrace healthy traits, be aware of how you react to stress and also grow in the path of least resistance. Hmmm...I guess that to be a maven does not take away operating out from home base first. You then develop the healthiest traits that naturally aligns to your core Type, for more empowered living. Oh do go ahead and take the test. Don't forget to post your results in this post or the next on which Type you are! It's a great way for other bloggers to know you better too! @Pink Ink, I’m glad that you are having fun! You used the words “hate to admit it” in your feedback.

I think it is funny that someone was so against an 8 type because (sorry to be literal but I used to lead wilderness trips) when crossing a river, you are to face upstream the same way like when you are ferrying a canoe across a river. You aren't actually working against the river but using its force to guide you along with your own efforts. It is actually a more empowered approach that passively floating like 9. Anyway, just a thought as I was having fun with it. What about the "maven" that is a nickname my friend's have for me. The person that people know has done research and turn to as a resource and at the same time is not afraid to set their own course. Okay, maybe I will go take the test now and find out what "type" I am...thanks Evelyn. I love this kind of stuff and challenging it too (gosh, what does that say?!) Good job getting so many folks invested! Katie Hmm…this was a fun post with great comments….even kept me awake when I was determined to get to bed!
