8 - the Asserter
Thanks for taking the test !

you chose AY - your Enneagram type is EIGHT (aka "The Challenger").

"I must be strong"

Asserters are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.

How to Get Along with Me

Stand up for yourself... and me.
Be confident, strong, and direct.
Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.
Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender, vulnerable side.
Give me space to be alone.
Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.
I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's a personal attack.
When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just the way I am.

What I Like About Being a Eight

being independent and self-reliant
being able to take charge and meet challenges head on
being courageous, straightforward, and honest
getting all the enjoyment I can out of life
supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me
upholding just causes

What's Hard About Being a Eight

overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to
being restless and impatient with others' incompetence
sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
never forgetting injuries or injustices
putting too much pressure on myself
getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when things don't go right

Eights as Children Often

are independent; have an inner strength and a fighting spirit
are sometimes loners
seize control so they won't be controlled
fugure out others' weaknesses
attack verbally or physically when provoked
take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundings

Eights as Parents

are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted
are sometimes overprotective
can be demanding, controlling, and rigid

Spellsword
74% Combativeness, 46% Sneakiness, 67% Intellect, 50% Spirituality

Aggressive, but with the brains to back it up: You are a Spellsword!
Score! You have a prestige class. A prestige class can only be taken after you’ve fulfilled certain requirements. This may mean that you're an exceptionally talented person, but it probably doesn't.
Spellswords combine arcane might with combat know-how. They're much tougher than mages, like to wear armor, and can cast spells through their weapons. They're very, very, good at doing lots of damage to a single target very quickly, and while not quite as tough as most fighters, are still pretty hard to kill.
You're both smart and aggressive, which means that you're probably pretty dangerous when pissed off. You also tend to be somewhat straightforward, which is nice, and don’t have much use for spirituality or mysticism.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 99% on Combativeness

You scored higher than 99% on Sneakiness

You scored higher than 99% on Intellect

You scored higher than 99% on Spirituality

I Don't Want You To Say Goodbye

I don’t want to say goodbye
Let the stars shine through
I don’t want to say goodbye
All I want to do is live with you

Just like the light of the morning
After the darkness has gone
The shadow of my love is falling
On a place where the sun always shines
Don’t you know that’s where our hearts both belong?

‘Cause I don’t want to say goodbyw
Let the sun shine through
No, I don’t want to say goodbye
All I want to do is live with you

Together, our two hearts are strong
Don’t you know that’s where our hearts both belong?

‘Cause I don’t want to say goodbyw
Let the stars shine through
No, I don’t want to say goodbye
All I want to do is live with you

All I want to do is live with you.

Perseverance - the drive to conquer the odds, against all odds, even when the odds are clearly stacked up against you, and falling on you. A quality to be Admired.
Nagginess - the assholic tendencies to keep bugging away at something until the person either 1) tells you to screw off and go away or 2) gives way out of sheer exasperation. A quality to be Loathed.

Studying - an action done by a person well respected for his 'smarts', comprising, but not limited to, reading textbooks, notes, practice papers and anything under the sun, in order to score good grades for examinations. An activity to be Admired
Mugging - an action done by a person held in contempt for his singlemindedness, which upon first glance is exactly identical to Studying, and is unlikely to chance upon second glance. An activity to be Snorted/Sniffed At.

Power Nap - a short break of around half an hour spent sleeping, certified by experts and tested in various trials to have improved the concentration powers of students in school. A Good Use of Time.
Sleeping in Class - a short break of around half an hour, usually less, spent sleeping during lesson time, universally condemned by teachers around the nation. A Waste of Time (i'm not so sure tho...)

Opportunist - a person who seizes every chance to enrich himself or increase his influence, usually in a clever way. A Role Model.
Scumbag - a person who seizes every chance to enrich himself or increase his influence, at the expense of others if need be. A Bastard.

i wish i had the proper mood to study
i wanna go for the master of pharmacy programme in king's college!
eek i need to offer Chem (core), 1 bio science (Biology BLEARGH) and 1 physical science (maths/physics)
darn why bio? EURGH. i hate it i hate it. oh well.
more and more i find myself wondering if i should be trying for chemistry in the united states
cornell's talk was quite informative and frankly quite seductive
i wonder if i should go there...
but my first and foremost dream is still be a pharmaceutical researcher
whether i get a chem degree or pharmacy degree, i dont realli mind, but pharmacy would definitely be a bonus :)

WHY DONT I HAVE THE MOOD TO MUG????

life is proceeding at a hectic pace.
regardless i have not regretted any moment of it
bear selling day wuz a great success, we sold 600+ bears!
it never fails to touch me how some people will donate money and not claim the bear, its so heartwarming
then again there are those who will stare at you in an unfriendly way when u approach them
and there are the slackers who claim to be doing the selling, but in fact they're slacking
i HATE those, i mean here we are trying to change a small part of the world
and you're juz here for the cip hours
WORSE you dont even want to work for it, you dont even have a conscience
FUCK you i say FUCK you for being such a jerk

sorry i got abit carried away there.
for those who stayed to help us sell even beyond the 5 bears limit YOU ROCK
to all who bought a bear, even thian who got nabbed by the mingzhou haaha
thanks man for ur support. all proceeds go towards minds.

2006-07-20T15:21:37Z

so. it's time i thought on my last year and a half in VJC
i feel that realli, i have changed alot alot since i came to vj
the warmth and spontaneity of the vj environment has realli opened me up
its like in RI, there was school spirit
in vj, the school IS the spirit, and its infused with life

all these experiences, joining CAP, HAP, OGL, running for SC (omg la tt's bad loh)
they've each changed me bit by bit
i mean, its not like im a great person now, but im better than i used to be
i sppose its not the best thing to have changed so much, but then again
i tink im slowly learning to find out what being a people person is like
it's time i realli went out into the world instead of being stuck in a book

well...i miss 2S03I, and im gonna miss 05S14 as well.
most of all i miss 3T/4T, who have ever been close to my heart
would that i could recapture such brotherhood when i go out into the real world
we're no longer children, we can no longer play carefree
big brother's watching and he aint gonna leave

You Are An INTP

The Thinker

You are analytical and logical - and on a quest to learn everything you can.
Smart and complex, you always love a new intellectual challenge.
Your biggest pet peeve is people who slow you down with trivial chit chat.
A quiet maverick, you tend to ignore rules and authority whenever you feel like it.

You would make an excellent mathematician, programmer, or professor.

What's Your Personality Type?

wah this is quite accurate. same result as before when i took the MBTI
alrite summary of my ct2s.
math A, physics A, chem B, bio E
overall ==> DON HAS BEEN OWNED BY CT2

well i shall have to live my mom's displeasure.
screw bio, its giving me so much problem.
maybe i realli should have gone for FMaths or sth instead of bio :(

EDIT: some information abt INTPs here LONG LONG info, so skip if not interested. nothing else behind :)

arghhhhh i feel like a different person now
the holidays seem to have changed me quite a lot, and i dont quite know why
or maybe im the same and nothing's really changed
i realise i've been doing a fair bit of unloading on my frens recently
and the worst thing is, i dont even know why i do it.
i've no idea why i suddenly feel so stressed that i have to unload
mind you, it has a good, therapeutic effect, but its not fair to my frens
who have to hear me rant and go on and on abt my life
argh better not to wonder why and soldier on
"their's not to make reply, their's not to ponder why, their's but to do and die"

inasmuch as jc life is stressful, im dreading army life far more
i tink compared to army life, jc life is gonna be a cakewalk
