What's your virtue?

[edargh]

Mine would be keeping any promise that I make.

I almost read The Great Gatsby but found it too dry and went with Lord of the Flies instead...anyway, my virtue is that I have this weird reflex that makes me offer what I have to people when they say they want something. Like when I have a plate of fries and someone says *I dont have enough money to buy lunch* I offer some fries. It depends on tone though, people who whine get nothing.

 

[swift tongued]

Faith. I'm not sure what I have faith in and there is no reason for it really, but faith all the same.

This test doesn't seem to lead to the same result. I ended up with a page that said "The Nine Personality Types of the Enneagram." I tended score highest (by 9 pts) to Type 5: "The Thinker." 3 on type 1: "The Reformer" and type 4: "The Artist. Finally, 2 on type 9: "The Peacemaker." All the rest were zero or less.

I didn't see an "Equanimity" or "Detachment" on there, so I'm not sure what that translates to in terms of the "Ennegram of Personality."

The Virtues are described in detail on other websites, the test only shows you the results and what type you are. I didn't know what to think when I took it so I just googled/wiki'd the descriptions.

Also, I think we might be getting off-topic.

According to my Enneagram results [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fives_(Enneagram_of_Personality)], my virtue is Detachment. I guess that's expected, since I lurk through a lot of forums.

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.

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.

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

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

that's the thing: there shouldn't be a wrong mindset for tests like these.

Of course not but it's

A)Free
B)Online
and
C)Free

So you can't really expect too much out of it.

1) Take the test

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

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

For some reason my Five was in the neg. Four and Eight.

They make me sound like a nutjob too.
And I'm a Sexual Four, but that makes me sound like a man-whore.

i've had free tests that performed better. my expectations for a test are not sky high, but at least as much as to be cohesive in its questions. if you went with no preference throughout the test (which i am sure would be possible for some people), you'd not get a result at all. this is what bothers me.

Are you sure about the 'no preference' thing?

That is a little bothersome. And it's only the first test I clicked on, I'm sure you can find better ones.

And tests aren't the best way to get to know yourself anyway.

social, five and six present. Fits me perfectly.

Pessimism.

Interesting fact of this century: The Great Gatsby has no letter E's in it.

[Mudora]

Hmmm... Honesty, and.... perhaps if I had to choose a second one, temperence.

 

[chumpzilla_69]

Erm... What do you call, the "Anti-slut?"
I don't know the right word, but whatever it is, I'm that.

Do you wander streets busting up hookers with a cricket bat, because thats the mental image im getting here

RAQUEL THE BLONDE BOMBSHELL! FEAR ME! FOR I AM ERANA, THE ANTI-SLUT! *busts hooker in the face with bat* YOUR DAYS OF SEXUAL DELINQUANCY ARE NOW OVER!

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

Not sure what they are, probably one relating to hate, greed or anger.

 

[Kevvers]

Fairness. Is that a virtue?

 

[JMeganSnow]

I always try to make the morally correct choice, regardless of what the consequences may be.

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.

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.

Then it means nothing to anyone and claiming as a virtue or a vice is utterly pointless.

i disagree. some virtues are fleeting within a confined space. it may be to you that you're opposed to this definition of justice. it all depends on which perspective you look at it from.

 

[Lord George]

Clarity I would say is one of my virtues, I'm not blinded by emotions or guilt so I can always see exactly how things are happening and can take the appropriate action

 

[ward.]

Erm... What do you call, the "Anti-slut?"
I don't know the right word, but whatever it is, I'm that.

Anti-slut is my new favorite word for now, thank you for that.

You may also want to consider "prude" then.


Mines either empathy or audacity.
