What enneagram personality do I have?

Asked by MaisyS (734points) March 28th, 2020

I took two enneagram personality tests. The first one classified me as 4w3, the second as a 5w3. I understand that type 4 and 5 very often get confused, so I’m trying to deduce which one I am.
I’m excellent at science, but my passion is art. I tend to express my feelings through writing, poetry, art (specifically painting and calligraphy) and singing. For this I draw on my own life experiences. While my writing tends to be autobiographical, my painting is very abstract, as is a lot of my poetry. I enjoy time alone, but i crave deep relationships. Despite that, I tend to appear a little reserved in a group of people, opening up to only specific people who take the first step to show concern. I tend to be dramatic, but depending on the situation I can also be logical. For instance, when it comes to a project going wrong in school I approach it in a methodical, logical way. But when it comes to relationships I’m all emotion. But even in schoolwork, I have to keep a tight control on my emotions, because they’re always present just under the surface. Very often I have to let my emotions out in order to proceed logically. I’m highly perceptive and sensitive regarding how others feel, being able to easily pick up on shifts in mood, demeanour or tone and recognize what someone is feeling like. I often feel like I’m seperate in a group of people, that I’m different from the vast majority, and if I’m honest, I can at times feel a little superior.
I’d appreciate if anyone could shine a little light on what personality type suits me more.
If there’s anything more you need to know please just mention it. :)
