The funny thing is that most of the topics we covered in the call were basically "sorry, there's nobody who can repair/replace that component" but it was still energizing to talk with someone who knew their products and to all appearances enjoyed that expertise.

I still bet I can build a custom orchestral chime for more than his estimate though ;) #enneagram5

🔗 From Riso & Hudson's "The Wisdom of the #enneagram."

I had been described as a curious child who wanted answers for everything & anything. If the question couldn't be answered, I'd search a way to find an explanation. Observing & analyzing the world became my most pervasive habit. I want to know more, absorb more information. In a way, it offers me a sense of security & control; of competence & confidence. The thirst for knowledge is insatiable.

#enneagram5

🌹 #enneagram4 : Seek authenticity, individuality. Sensitive & expressive. Core desire is to find themselves & what's missing. Core fear is to be inherently defective & lacking personal significance

📚 #enneagram5 : Seeks knowledge, solitude, independence. Curious, aloof, introverted. Core desire is to be useful & competent. Core fear is to be incapable of coping with the world

I'm bored so an idea that's coming to mind is to grab little pieces of #enneagram5 descriptions and explain how those traits appear in me. But for those who might be curious, a little introduction to #enneagram is in order:

🔸What is an "enneagram"?
Enneagram is the name of a personality model that categorizes people in 9 main types. Each of these types are characterized by a Core Fear & a Core Desire plus other aspects that drive us into psychological habits we identify with: our "personality."

@raynedanser I'm an #enneagram5, 5w4 to be more precise 🧠☁️☕📚

I've accepted an invitation for a grown-up lady playdate. Like a lunchy-brunchy thing. I feel sorry for people who want to befriend me and spend time in person together because I dread it until I either cancel or go.

I blame Hollywood. Movies make us think falling in love means spending cozy nights chatting and having friends means lunchy-brunchy things.

If you want a pet #introvert or #enneagram5 friend, please don't suggest lunchy-brunchy things.

So, the only reason I’m still on the bird site is to find the people that I follow on it over here. Is this a thing? I want to cut ties with the other place, but don’t want to miss the people that I love to follow 😘. Much love - from Ms 9 followers over there! ❤️ #observer, #Enneagram5

Putting the words (in no particular order) on my #introduction tshirt so my people can find me. 💖

I've fantasized about walking through life wearing a shirt that says
#Introvert, or
#INTJ, or
#Enneagram5, or
#5w4, or
#ManifestingGenerator, or #Profile5/1, or
#Lifepath7, or
#WoodRabbit.
If you get any of that, you understand why. 🤗

This #introduction #introductionpost is that shirt!

@ichris @helengregory There are so many daily applications. I keep my husband and daughters' #enneagram numbers in mind all the time, but especially when we have miscommunication.

I was once so danggone frustrated with my work team that I didn't know what to do! They didn't stay in their lanes. All action. All urgency. Never taking the time to understand precedent (my #Enneagram5 bias). We all took the Enneagram test and guess what? They were all #Enneagram1!

This helped my framing so much.

@MammaMu @Persephone Like you, my interests are a bit tidal. I can be fully immersed in something and hop on another wave at a moment's notice. This makes me look impulsive, but I tend to feel like I know how it all connects.

Mastodon seems really #Enneagram5 friendly. No campaigning for head nods, which is nice.

@MammaMu @Persephone Hi, Lily! Like you, I'm an #Enneagram5. When I saw that on your post, I thought (!) My people!!! 😊 Nice meeting you.
