I have 6 types, 3 pairs of the same score. I always knew that I'm very mixed in many areas. Like I'm this and yet I'm that, that kind of thing. Anyway the top has the highest score (in brackets) while the bottom has the lowest. Even my highest and lowest scores aren't that high/low.

(4) Type 1: The Reformer - the rational, idealistic type & Type 2: The Helper -the caring, nurturing type.
(3) Type 3: The Motivator - the adaptable, success-oriented type.
(1) Type 9: The Peacemaker - the easygoing, accomodating type.
(-1) Type 4: The Artist - the intuitive, reserved type & Type 8: The Leader -the powerful aggressive type.
(-2) Type 5: The Thinker - the perceptive, cerebral type & Type 7: The Generalist - the enthusiastic, productive type.
(-6) Type 6: The Skeptic - the committed, security oriented type.

Type 1: Reformer - The Perfectionist

Perfectionists are realistic, conscientious, and principled. They strive to live up to their high ideals.

How to Get Along with Me (actually all these sound logical what, doesn't everyone hope all these will happen?)

• Take your share of the responsibility so I don't end up with all the work.
• Acknowledge my achievements.
• I'm hard on myself. Reassure me that I'm fine the way I am.
• Tell me that you value my advice.
• Be fair and considerate, as I am.
• Apologize if you have been unthoughtful. It will help me to forgive.
• Gently encourage me to lighten up and to laugh at myself when I get uptight, but hear my worries first.

What I Like About Being a One

• being self-disciplined and able to accomplish a great deal (er....)
• working hard to make the world a better place (I'm not here to make the world a better place leh...)
• having high standards and ethics; not compromising myself
• being reasonable, responsible, and dedicated in everything I do
• being able to put facts together, coming to good understandings, and figuring out wise solutions (I think I'm soooo wise.... Ha~)
• being the best I can be and bringing out the best in other people (Maybe that's why I'm a teacher?)

What's Hard About Being a One

• being disappointed with myself or others when my expectations are not met (Ya ya! must change this. Man is fallible. Only God isn't. Trust in God!)
• feeling burdened by too much responsibility
• thinking that what I do is never good enough (last time, with respect to my mama's wishes... Now, I'm smarter... Haha~ Christ sees what I've done and that's good enough. If it's not, He forgives, I try harder)
• not being appreciated for what I do for people
• being upset because others aren't trying as hard as I am
• obsessing about what I did or what I should do
• being tense, anxious, and taking things too seriously (do I? I thot I'm some siao kia who's super crappy?)

Ones as Children Often

• criticize themselves in anticipation of criticism from others
• refrain from doing things that they think might not come out perfect (maybe that's why I'm not taking steps to exercise cos I scared I won't become slim? Hmmm...)
• focus on living up to the expectations of their parents and teachers (I think so too.. as I look back)
• are very responsible; may assume the role of parent (no wonder I'm always cooking, and scolding Fatso. Ha~)
• hold back negative emotions ("good children aren't angry")

Ones as Parents (I certainly hope soooo... that I am as mentioned!)

• teach their children responsibility and strong moral values
• are consistent and fair
• discipline firmly

1. The reformer - The aggressive ideal-seeker

"Your best teacher is your last mistake." Ralph Nader

Reformers. The underlying motivation of the 1 is to be RIGHT, and to avoid being WRONG.  Reformers are the most compulsively rational of the types, and the perfectionist is another name for this type.  Average 1s are driven by their "inner critic", an inner set of standards that tends to be quite rigorous, and independent of what other people tell them.  Hence, the average 1 is very self-critical, and also critical of others when they expect the same high standards of others that they have imposed on themselves. Ones get much of their energy from anger, and at best, this energy is channeled into discipline, organization, a strong work ethic and a love of fairness, justice, and truth.  At worst, they become rigid in their thinking, psychologically trapped by their own rules and principles and becoming self-righteous in a way that, although logically correct, is not helpful to themselves or others.

1s like to confront problems head-on, but this proactive energy may not always be immediately apparent to others.  Introverted 1s may be extremely prim and proper, even rigid, because they turn their energies inward against their own impulses and spontaneity.  However, other 1s can project considerable energy, even becoming abrasive, if their passions turn toward ideals, such as social justice, that involve the world as a whole.

Famous ones: Hillary Clinton, Ralph Nader, Judith Martin (Ms Manners), Martha Stewart, Confucious, Aristotle, Queen Elizabeth II.

1s and 5s are occasionally confused for each other because they are both analytical, and both appreciate detailed, accurate, information.  The scientific method is based on a mixture of type 1 and type 5 fixations.  However, 1s think to ensure correctness, while 5s think to understand and intellectually conquer their environment. Fives are oriented toward ideas, while ones are oriented toward ideaLs (capital L for emphasis).  Ones feel bound by rules and principles, while 5s do not.

Many 1s identify with type 8, probably because both types are driven by anger.  However, 1s are guided by principles and logic, whereas 8s are driven more by willpower and a lust for power.


Type 2: The Helper

Helpers are warm, concerned, nurturing, and sensitive to other people's needs. (ya... I think I'm so nice... Wahahah)

How to Get Along with Me

• Tell me that you appreciate me. Be specific.
• Share fun times with me.
• Take an interest in my problems, though I will probably try to focus on yours.
• Let me know that I am important and special to you.
• Be gentle if you decide to criticize me.

In Intimate Relationships

• Reassure me that I am interesting to you.
• Reassure me often that you love me.
• Tell me I'm attractive and that you're glad to be seen with me.

What I Like About Being a Two (yes I do agree.... maybe I'm more type 2 than type 1)

• being able to relate easily to people and to make friends
• knowing what people need and being able to make their lives better
• being generous, caring, and warm
• being sensitive to and perceptive about others' feelings
• being enthusiastic and fun-loving, and having a good sense of humor

What's Hard About Being a Two

• not being able to say no (sometimes yeah...)
• having low self-esteem (nah...not much)
• feeling drained from overdoing for others (sometimes yeah...)
• not doing things I really like to do for myself for fear of being selfish (sometimes yeah...)
• criticizing myself for not feeling as loving as I think I should (ya... can be stressful)
• being upset that others don't tune in to me as much as I tune in to them (sometimes maybe)
• working so hard to be tactful and considerate that I suppress my real feelings (no lah.. not to the extent of suppressing)

Twos as Children Often

• are very sensitive to disapproval and criticism (ya lah! my mama last time always scold me! But now I love her deep deep... And my toopid teachers... scar me for life!)
• try hard to please their parents by being helpful and understanding (no lah I'm a bad child many a times... flaring up at them...)
• are outwardly compliant
• are popular or try to be popular with other children (haha.. long time ago... I try to be popular... now I AM popular... Wahahaha)
• act coy, precocious, or dramatic in order to get attention (hmmm... maybe)
• are clowns and jokers (the more extroverted Twos), or quiet and shy (the more introverted Twos)

Twos as Parents

• are good listeners, love their children unconditionally, and are warm and encouraging (or suffer guilt if they aren't) (I hope so...)
• are often playful with their children
• wonder: "Am I doing it right?" "Am I giving enough?" "Have I caused irreparable damage?" (Wah this is so true... I'm so scared with my Sunday school kids already loh... What's more my future child, if God gives me one)
• can become fiercely protective (ya I think I'll be.. judging how protective I can be over my friends...)

2. The helper. The embracing power-seeker

Helpers focus their lives on giving and receiving love.  This personality is one of the most emotionally expressive, and one of the most focused on human relationships.  At their best, healthy 2s bring a special interpersonal touch to almost everything they do, empowering others with their unrivaled desire to make others feel special, important, and loved for simply being themselves.  It is uncommon (though not impossible) to find a 2 in high-profile leadership positions, or in a job that emphasizes analysis at the expense of human interaction.

Highly nurturing at their best, less healthy 2s show a darker side of their personality.  When unhealthy 2s help others, it is merely to make themselves feel more important. They may offer "help" that seems intrusive and manipulative to others, or may do a "favor", only to subsequently ask repayment.  (ooo... I sound dangerous... Must be careful not to be unhealthy 2s) Average twos are often attracted toward two seemingly opposite kinds of people: toward people with power, whose agenda they can support, and towards the needy and the outcast, who most urgently need the 2's caring spirit.

Famous 2w1s: Fred Rogers ("Mr. Rogers"), Princess Diana, Mother Teresa, Bill Cosby
Famous 2w3s: Kathie Lee Gifford

9s and 2s are often confused with each other (particularly female 9s and 2s) because both are dutiful types, with positive feelings for others that can be tinged with resentment at having their own feelings neglected.  However, 2s are more assertive emotionally, while the 9 tends to be more emotionally detached.  9s tend to efface their egos when helping others, while 2s tend to magnify them.</span></span></span></span>
