derived from my intuition, i have:

abstraction, the ability to clearly see, comprehend, explain and develop metaphysical concepts and ways to implement them into our everyday lives.

nigh-objective perception, the ability to see things from any perspective/point of view. because of this, i have near-perfect judgment of many things, especially considering human interaction.

(it should be noted that i consider the enneagram of personality inferior compared to the jung and later myers-briggs archetypes)

Going with the virtues listed in the World Of Darkness role-playing books(Werewolf, Vampire, Mage, etc.), mine would either be Charity or Fortitude. Perhaps Justice.

Is there a free online one of these anywhere?

Yes

Well my Enneagram says mine is Equanimity.
Though I'm not sure what that means.

How is this justice, exactly? A just person is one who always grants people precisely what they have earned--under some versions of morality (altruism) being just is considered *cruel*. Justice isn't an altruist virtue, mercy is: the granting of the *unearned*. To an altruist, justice and morality are inevitably and irrevocably opposed.

My cardinal virtue is integrity--I'm consistent, and I don't like it much when other people aren't.

i found that test very bad. it's not that the questions didn't make sense, but the limited answers forced me to no preference too many times. tests like these shouldn't answer the questions for you.

I take the tests with a grain of salt. After finishing them I usually browse over the descriptions to see if they really fit. It could be worse, and the test could have been based purely on yes/no answers.

Yeah, I just took it and it was totally wrong. And I too had to answer "No Preference" for the majority of the questions. If it wasn't that each of the choices described me equally, it was that they didn't describe me at all. Then again, most personality tests anywhere are just as bad. In my experience, anyway.

just because you see it from your point of view doesn't mean it is the absolute truth. justice means different things to different people.

From that test, it seems I am a leader, a think, and a helper.


All of it is right, with the virtue I treasure most I would think is between: Tenacity, truthfulness, Prudence, and finally gravity. (Roman virtues)


EDIT: Justice is a roman virtue meaning, you feel a sense of moral worth to and action. By the all knowing, all seeing wikipedia.

Yeah, of the Seven Heavenly Virtues, I try to follow "Temperance". None of the Seven Deadly Sins are that bad if tempered. Only if left unchecked.

You're probably taking the questions with a slightly wrong mindset.

And see Arntor's comment.
Apparently I'm a hopeless Romantic.

Stupidity.

I'm surprised no one else has this virtue.

.
..
... Selective Stupidity.

edit:And I smoke a pipe and have a cane I modified (gearstick screwed onto a walking stick), I'm sure that has to count as some sort of virtue.

Persistence.

I keep on and on flogging dead horses, turning up like a bad penny, sticking it out, riding the storm, raiding the bank of clichéd metaphors....

Looks like I'm a strong Five [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fives_(Enneagram_of_Personality)] (9 pts) with low Type One (3 pt) Four (3 pt) and Nine (2 pt) influences.

If so, my virtue, is also "detachment."

Reading deeper into that Wikipedia page, I have to say that these Ennegrams of personality make me look like a nutjob... but then, it seems they all make the types look like a nutjob. I bet that keeps those Psychologists employed!

I'm probably a Social Five on a 3-7 level, depending on how confident I'm feeling that day. If I ever get down to a 6, I need to stay off the forums: otherwise, I'll be tearing into everybody's lousy threads. A 7, I desperately need to get out more :p

The only trouble is I'm actually quite generous, so my "Avarice" vice doesn't seem to fit.
