I'm a 7, and I would NEVER get plastic surgery! I think that's way more of a 3 attribute! I've certainly tried just about everything, but do my best to stay away from things that are super toxic- natural highs are way better than pharmaceuticals! Smoking has also been a lifelong on and off issue- along with caffeine. I was much more into trying things when I was younger....

I'm a 4... always working on keeping addiction in check. My 20+ year love hate relationship with smoking has led me to quit 4 times (from 3 months to 5 years at a time). If I even smell a cigarette, I have cravings for a week afterwards. I am always working on a love / sex addiction and force myself to not be flirty every day it seems. When I meet someone I may be attracted to, I consciously have to tell myself not to come off flirty so as to keep it in check. This conscious avoidance has allowed me to stay married for 17 years. So there you have it.. my deepest darkest doesn't have ice cream on the list...

Very interesting. I think that these are very accurate. I'm a 6, and yes, I happen to be allergic to "vegetables and fruit"

I'm a 9, but I don't think my over-eating is for any of the reasons listed. And none of the rest really applies to me. The "avoid medical visits" of an 8, however, definitely applies to me. In my brain, the list needs work.

also I think 6's are prone to anorexia and bulimia, as well as over excercising

i'm a 6, and have been guilty of all the addictions listed at one point in my life or another. And, i've been a vegetarian since i was 8 years old....by choice, with varying levels of strictness ranging from only eating carrots to a "raw" foods vegan to what I now am, which is a pescatarian.

I'm a 4 working on it- nothing like ice cream to soothe myself

Type 9... definitely me! Happy to take care of everyone else's needs, but usually forget-full of my own. No substance addictions, thank god/dess ('cuz I know I wouldn't have the self discipline to get out of 'em!) but the lack of exercise and eating properly is a constant nag. But I'm workin' on it!

I thought YOU were the challenge to us! :-)

Type 8 The Challenger Ignore physical needs and problems: avoid medical visits and check-ups. Indulging in rich foods, alcohol, tobacco while pushing self too hard leads to high stress, strokes, and heart conditions. Control issues central, although alcoholism and narcotic addictions are possible. Hey, are you challenging me???

I've actually been considering plastic surgery. Oh, and I love heroin and alcohol! They are the social anxiety erasers!

As a 6 but not a strong 6, if that makes any sense, I'm not so sure. But I post because I found this very interesting and wanted to say thanks.

Guilty as charged on the 4 list minus the bulemia and cosmetic surgery! Hence, I'm sober and dont smoke anymore... <cue Adam Ant>

Here is a list of enneagrams and their chosen addictions. I'm a three. Although I don't indulge these days, my drug of choice would definitely be amphetamines. Depressants have never done it for me. I just stick to caffine these days. And I've certainly been know to stretch my body to the limit working on a project or two or three.... How does it stand up for you? Type 1 The Reformer Excessive use of diets, vitamins, and cleansing techniques (fasts, diet pills, enemas). Under-eating for self-control: in extreme cases anorexia and bulimia. Alcohol to relieve tension. Type 2 The Helper Abusing food and over-the-counter medications. Bingeing, especially on sweets and carbohydrates. Over-eating from feeling "love-starved." Hypochondria to look for sympathy. Type 3 The Achiever Over-stressing the body for recognition. Working out to exhaustion. Starvation diets. Workaholism. Excessive intake of coffee, stimulants, amphetamines, cocaine, steroids or excessive surgery for cosmetic improvement. Type 4 The Individualist Over-indulgence in rich foods, sweets, alcohol to alter mood, to socialize, and for emotional consolation. Lack of physical activity. Bulimia. Depressants. Tobacco, prescription drugs, or heroin for social anxiety. Cosmetic surgery to erase rejected features. Type 5 The Investigator Poor eating and sleeping habits due to minimizing needs. Neglecting hygiene and nutrition. Lack of physical activity. Psychotropic drugs for mental stimulation and escape, narcotics for anxiety. Type 6 The Loyalist Rigidity in diet causes nutritional imbalances ("I don't like vegetables.") Working excessively. Caffeine and amphetamines for stamina, but also alcohol and depressants to deaden anxiety. Higher susceptibility to alcoholism than many types. Type 7 The Enthusiast The type most prone to addictions: stimulants (caffeine, cocaine, and amphetamines), Ecstasy, psychotropics, narcotics, and alcohol but tend to avoid other depressants. Wear body out with effort to stay "up." Excessive cosmetic surgery, pain killers. Type 8 The Challenger Ignore physical needs and problems: avoid medical visits and check-ups. Indulging in rich foods, alcohol, tobacco while pushing self too hard leads to high stress, strokes, and heart conditions. Control issues central, although alcoholism and narcotic addictions are possible. Type 9 The Peacemaker Over-eating or under-eating due to lack of self-awareness and repressed anger. Lack of physical activity. Depressants and psychotropics, alcohol, marijuana, narcotics to deaden loneliness and anxiety.
