Personality Review 1
? Enneagram is a psychology book that studies nine types of personality. I am afraid of this kind of books. This fear comes from those boring theories and difficult to understand knowledge points. Although I finished reading the book "Self-Control" I read in a week and took notes on the reading, from the inside, it is difficult and needs to be studied deeply. It is not enough to just read it once. You should also take time to read it. Watch it several times.
?Enneagram" is more boring than "Self-Control". After reading several chapters, there is not even a case. It is just a boring theory. There is no logic for various types of personalities. The relationship can no longer be tolerated. After seeing the reading notes of other book friends, I drew the personalities of each type of people into cute little people, helpers, leaders, explorers... and other Enneagram personalities. Each personality has its own characteristics. The different styles instantly make this book stand out.
Studying human psychology is a mysterious and scary thing. There is no need to explain the mystery. How should we explain the word "scary"? Maybe human psychology is unpredictable. If someone is standing next to you In front of you, you know what he is thinking, or others can easily enter your heart. You no longer have any privacy, and all sins and beauty are exposed to the sun. It is scary to think about it. Suddenly I remembered Mr. Yang Jiang's words, "I wear an invisibility cloak. Others cannot see me, but I can see others." Although such an invisibility cloak only makes the outer body invisible, I still want to own one.
I still remember the movie "The Silence of the Lambs" I watched many years ago. The plot was suspenseful and thrilling, and it was somewhat related to human psychology. I can’t recall how I felt after watching that movie. In addition to fear, maybe there was also a feeling of eagerness to know the outcome. And the human psychology that ran through the entire movie was not completely clear to me by the time the movie ended. . Curiosity really can't defeat fear, and the fear is not caused by those bloody scenes, but by repeated misjudgments even if you follow the plot closely.
In this movie, Dr. Hannibal is a psychiatrist and a highly intelligent criminal. He can easily see into the psychology of others and enter the psychological world of others. He single-handedly controls the development of the entire plot. , this doctor who can enter the psychological world of others makes the plot more complicated and confusing, and also puts a more mysterious and terrifying veil on the word "psychology". Which one is more grounded: reason, mind, or emotion?
Writing this, I stopped and asked myself, what people should examine most is themselves, but do I understand myself? Or maybe I think I understand it very well, but in fact I can’t even see through it myself.
Thinking back on the road I have traveled, I feel confused and overwhelmed. There is the loneliness of being abandoned by the world for a moment, the tears of vulnerability and helplessness looking up to the sky, the courage of working hard for dreams, and the joy of having to endure all the hardships. But I know that everything that happened to me is the trace of life running over it, and it is God's arrangement. Although I don't know if it is the best arrangement, no one can change it.
Maybe the voice that floated in my ears when I was confused was just the words that I subconsciously wanted to say to myself most, "I'm tired and want to take a rest." Or maybe there really is a fourth dimension in the world, where you can bury your deepest secrets in time. Knowing yourself turns out to be a new beginning.
Personality Reading Review 2
The Enneagram is a method and knowledge for understanding people in depth. It divides people into nine types according to their thinking, emotions and behaviors. : Perfectionist, giver, doer, tragic romantic, observer, doubter, hedonist, mediator. The author believes that "Enneagram and Leadership" is her most classic class at Stanford Business School, and it is also the author's favorite class.
The most outstanding thing about the Enneagram is that it can penetrate people's surface emotions, enter the most secret parts of people's hearts, and discover people's most real and fundamental needs and desires. It is about people. A theory of personality type is also an ancient intelligence. The English word "enneagram" comes from Greek, which means a diagram with nine points or nine lines. Among them, ennea means "nine" and gram means "graph".
It is said that the Enneagram was not developed in academies, but by a nomadic people called Sufis. Because nomadic people with no fixed abode need to deal with all kinds of strangers, they need to use this knowledge to communicate and get along with different people in different ways. Precisely because this set of knowledge was not developed from the ivory tower, but summed up from practice, it has strong practicality.
The following is my understanding of these nine personalities:
Perfectionist No. 1: Introverted, passive, critical, focusing on mistakes, correcting mistakes, continuous monitoring, likes everything Well-organized and sequenced; eager to get things done and strive for perfection; rational, independent, hard-working, responsible, mature, goal-oriented, and focused on efficiency; prone to criticism, impatient, and critical of oneself and others; works first , after pleasure; suppresses impulses and desires; is overly rigid; takes nobility as one's own reward; often talks about "what should be done"; always adheres to one's own principles and has difficulty tolerating other different opinions; has a rigorous and strict personality He doesn’t smile and laughs informally; he rarely cares about his family, likes to find fault with others, and often complains and gets angry that others don’t do things well enough; he is a reasonable, practical and down-to-earth person.
