All About the Enneagram Assessment

The Enneagram assessment is a personality test which claims to have categorized everyone into nine numbers. Each number is paired with a key descriptive characteristic, although percentages of all nine numbers complete your personality.

Free Enneagram assessments are available online, and they're designed to understand your fears, motivations, and inner feelings. Those who have taken the test now identify as their number, and it has become a quick fad. Books, blogs, merchandise, and numerous social media accounts have been created in dedication to the Enneagram. There are even Enneagram experts!

One unique development that has taken form from this phenomenon, is an album with songs dedicated to each one of the Enneagram types. The musical artist, Sleeping At Last, has tailored melodic tracks specific to the qualities of each number. This project has taken him nearly two years, due to the amount of time it takes to make each song. His goal in completing his album, Atlas, is to have created a song that resonates with each type. The lyrics for your designated song should conjure up deep feelings, ultimately touching a part of your soul.

I will warn you though, when taking the assessment be truly honest to how you feel inside. Pay no attention as to how you think others perceive you, because if you're not honest with yourself you can be mistyped. It's also important to note that the Enneagram has spiritual aspects. Many of the books give advice on how to work on your relationship with God depending on your type, even providing helpful advice on how to interact or understand your spouse of a different number. The topics discussed are deep and revealing.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
