Susan made a really good comment last week on the More about Personality Type post. She said “I am your TOTAL OPPOSITE, an INFP. Although I’ve had different results and that’s a pretty truncated test. I think we should put this to the test in the club environment sometime and track the differences in our working styles. In the name of science, of course, and not because I think it would be really funny.”
The inner geek in me would LOVE to do this!
Every summer when business is slow, I tend to work on self improvement. Last year I went to several live seminars. This year I am doing more of the freebie online stuff. I found The Enneagram Institute to have a lot of great free resources. Take the Free Personality Profile to discover which of the NINE personality types you are.
Once you have that, you can read about how you perform at work, your best relationship compatibility, and personal development goals should be. All of this information can help you learn what type of club will foster your best working style. The other two links I included because so often our ability to perform at work is limited by problems in our relationships and personal lives. The more you know about your strengths and weaknesses the more you can communicate this to your loved ones to prevent drama.
For example, I am a Three. This tells me that I perform best at jobs where I can be a role model. My best relationships are with Sevens, and my development goals are neatly laid out from Level 1 (the highest functioning level to stive for) and Level 6 (if I was a complete mess)
Again, this is not meant to be a replacement for the DancerWealth Personality Profiling Sales System. It would be impossible to do this with every customer that you meet! Rather, this is just some free stuff that I found and wanted to pass along to those who are interested.
I took this test 15 years ago! I was an INTP…need to retake for sure. I didn’t know about the levels of performance and relationships. I will have to report back

Pretty good post. I just came across your blog and wanted to say
that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts. In any case
I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you post again soon!
I’m a type 7, which means:
The Enthusiast
The busy, productive type. Sevens are extroverted, optimistic, versatile, and spontaneous. Playful, high-spirited, and practical, they can also misapply their many talents, becoming over-extended, scattered, and undisciplined. They constantly seek new and exciting experiences, but can become distracted and exhausted by staying on the go. They typically have problems with impatience and impulsiveness. At their Best: they focus their talents on worthwhile goals, becoming appreciative, joyous, and satisfied.
Sounds plausible…
It said I’m a tie between:
Type Six
The Loyalist
The committed, security-oriented type. Sixes are reliable, hard-working, responsible, and trustworthy. Excellent “troubleshooters,” they foresee problems and foster cooperation, but can also become defensive, evasive, and anxious—running on stress while complaining about it. They can be cautious and indecisive, but also reactive, defiant and rebellious. They typically have problems with self-doubt and suspicion. At their Best: internally stable and self-reliant, courageously championing themselves and others.
and
Type Nine
The Peacemaker
The easy-going, self-effacing type. Nines are accepting, trusting, and stable. They are usually creative, optimistic, and supportive, but can also be too willing to go along with others to keep the peace. They want everything to go smoothly and be without conflict, but they can also tend to be complacent, simplifying problems and minimizing anything upsetting. They typically have problems with inertia and stubbornness. At their Best: indomitable and all-embracing, they are able to bring people together and heal conflicts.
