Suprisingly accurate
I saw this on jem’s site and it’s suprisingly accurate… infact if you want to know more about me and how to get along with me, I dare say this is a good quick guide to read.
you chose BZ - your Enneagram type is FIVE (aka “The Thinker”).
“I need to understand the world”
Observers have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious, analytical, and insightful.
How to Get Along with Me
- Be independent, not clingy.
- Speak in a straightforward and brief manner.
- I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts.
- Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable.
- Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity.
- If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place.
- don’t come on like a bulldozer.
- Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people’s loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy.
What I Like About Being a Five
- standing back and viewing life objectively
- coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects
- my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure
- not being caught up in material possessions and status
- being calm in a crisis
What’s Hard About Being a Five
- being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world
- feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all
- being pressured to be with people when I don’t want to be
- watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally
Fives as Children Often
- spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on
- have a few special friends rather than many
- are very bright and curious and do well in school
- have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers
- watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information
- assume a poker face in order not to look afraid
- are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict
- feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected
Fives as Parents
- are often kind, perceptive, and devoted
- are sometimes authoritarian and demanding
- may expect more intellectual achievement than is developmentally appropriate
- may be intolerant of their children expressing strong emotions

Upgrades at goobii
JESUS LOVES YOU GAK
mmk, with that out of the road. Some of you may have noticed some non-activity for a while looks at calendar mmk so it’s been a month :( Well, I’ve been busy since the last entry i’ve broken up with Dee and have seen the deftones, which was absolutely amazing and if they ever pass by your way whether a fan or not go and have a look anyway.
I was also working as a php dev for artisan and have since finished up. Met an awesome bunch of people and Chris if you are reading this I thank you for the kind words and the loan of the MySQL book, it was invaluable to me man and interesting to see the features capable in MySQL 5 some of which i’ll deffinately be using in future. Goodluck finishing the project and make sure you marry that girl of yours.
On other fronts atekz.org(the server goobii resides on) has been upgraded from PHP4 to PHP5 along with apache being updated to 1.3.7 and after hours of frustration and help from Chris(mcGuiness) trac is now installed and working ZOMG! Now i can be as cool as gak and alec i’ll never be quite like Fonzie or Fabio :(
Hmm, Slayer gig coming up soon can’t wait should be awesome nev’s coming along to this one also so maybe we’ll get to rock out in the pit together this time as we were split up at Deftones.
So stay tuned for some more trac goodness as i get cracking on a few projects i’ve had in the works for a while.
One more thing, this game is adictive as hell so avoid it at all costs.
oops :P
Take care.
Mat
