This is quite close to my type but not completely. For example I am not materialistic. I hate too much stuff. I told my husband, who was an hoarder, that once you get beyond a certain point you don’t own stuff, it owns you. I grew up in a very unhappy, alcoholic home. My mother was very verbally and emotionally abusive. She rejected me soundly thus I began to greatly fear rejection and as I grew up developed little outward need for approval. I often wonder what I would be like if my home had been happier. I was quite bossy and independent as a child. Now I am 72 and have suffered from treatment resistant depression for 25 years. My age also affected by answers. I do not worry much about the future. What will come, will come. I am glad I am not being born today because I believe climate change is going to bring great horrors to this planet. This enneagram was accurate about emotions. I was not allowed emotions growing up and everything that went on in our house was to remain a secret. Now I don’t know what I am feeling, except for anger. I was taught I was untouchable, unworthy and unlovable. Unfortunately my husband was as damaged as me; he was sexually abused so we were little help to each other. He was also verbally abusive and I withdrew which hurt him. I never left him partly for my sake and partly because I knew it would hurt him greatly. I hate hurting people.
