I was deemed enneagram type four, the individualist. A type four is self-aware, sensitive, reserved, creative, moody, and self-conscious. Although some of these apply to me, I don’t feel like they are the most defining aspects of my personality. I believe that I am very self-aware and acknowledge that as a strength of mine. I am reserved in the proper settings, but very loud and center-of-attention type around people I’m comfortable with. I empathize easily and feel other people’s pain just as much as they do, but I don’t really dwell on my pain. I’m not very sensitive to myself if that makes sense. I also don’t think I am a moody person. My personality is pretty consistent and stable. I am definitely self-conscious, but I think that comes with being self-aware. I know my strengths, but more importantly, I know my weaknesses. This brings self-consciousness. Overall, for me, I don’t think this test accurately gauged my personality.

Based on the results of this test, there are a few things I need to improve my level of development. I need to be less envious of others, which I agree with. I feel like I spend a lot of time comparing myself, my success, my knowledge, my appearance, etc. to others. I didn’t read much else that applied to me.

I can utilize my creativity to make meaningful, lasting impacts on the things I do at Ohio State. I should step out of my comfort zone to reach my full potential of creativity. I was excited to see that my results agreed with how I view myself as an empathetic person. This is a great character trait to have as an RA, which I am beginning next year.
