Today I finished Bringing Out the Best in Yourself at Work: How to Use the Enneagram System for Success. Very interesting. I find that I am probably a 4, with 5 and 2's as wings. Though I can certainly do most of them at different times. In terms of personality characteristics, I am also a 9 who narcotizes and avoids conflict. I can also see how being a 4, who views conflict as a storm is not particularly effective in a current situation.
It's also interesting to think about where my attention goes in situations, especially at work. What do I prioritize and when do I allow myself to be distracted. Because at times I can get apathetic when I feel helpless about projects, situations, or conflicts. In terms of stress, I can move to being a 2 or during positive stress, becoming a 7. I also self-reference a lot, very much as this analysis says, and can see how it detours conflict resolution.
Interesting book, Thanks Wayde! If it's not on the Blackboard list, I'm going to post it.
