Falling in love can be exciting, unnerving, thrilling and exhausting… and so much more. For Enneagram Type 8s who aren’t too great at emotional vulnerability, it can be an especially confusing time.
The phrase "highly sensitive person" is to a large extent self-explanatory. Whatever you might think of when you hear the word "sensitive" probably will apply to a highly sensitive person (HSP) , to one degree or another.
Whether you’re going on dates or in a new and budding relationship, you might consider a person’s personality type a significant factor in getting to know them.
But when you're out on a date with someone, you’d rarely have the guts to whip out your phone and ask them to take the 16-type test then and there!
A couple’s psychometric test can help romantic partners open a new and honest conversation about how they think, what they believe, and why they behave the way they do. Personality styles and personal preferences will be revealed during a couple’s psychometric test, in a unique context where self-discovery and self-disclosure can occur simultaneously.
When it comes to personality typology, many speculate that dating a similar personality type to your own will lead to a more harmonious and long-lasting relationship. Others believe that opposites can both attract and complement each other in the long-term. So, what happens when you date your complete Myers and Briggs type opposite?
Opposites attract, or so the saying goes, and when an Introvert and an Extravert are dating, they may start to find out how opposite their basic personalities and needs are.
After all, Introverts find social activities tiring, and Extraverts need them to feel energized and alive. These basic differences in our needs and desires could become a real source of conflict.
What do you get when you put a creative, individualistic Enneagram Type 4 together with “The Peacemaker” Type 9 ? The pairing of these two Enneagram types can go one of two ways—it can seem a bit too dramatic or like a match made in heaven. Whether these types hit it off or find themselves grappling for understanding, like any compatibility question, it may come down to the individuals and how much work they’re willing to invest in their relationship.
Your personality type says a lot about you, but did you know it also helps build better relationships? From platonic friendships to work relationships, you can harness your knowledge of personality type to bring yourself a step closer to fulfillment in various areas of your life. This fulfillment is also possible when you’re searching for a romantic partner, and you’d be surprised how helpful Myers-Briggs compatibility is when you’re dating.
