At this point, I don't care if it's risky-- assassination threats aren't going to keep me from going to the palace spa anymore. There's a reason we have it, and without me, it's sorely underused.


Your result for The Quick & Painless ENNEAGRAM Test...

3 - the Achiever

Thanks for taking the test !

you chose AZ - your Enneagram type is THREE (aka "The Performer").





"I need to succeed"


Achievers are energetic, optimistic, self-assured, and goal oriented.



How to Get Along with Me


• Leave me alone when I am doing my work.


• Give me honest, but not unduly critical or judgmental, feedback.


• Help me keep my environment harmonious and peaceful.


• Don't burden me with negative emotions.


• Tell me you like being around me.


• Tell me when you're proud of me or my accomplishments.



What I Like About Being a THREE


• being optimistic, friendly, and upbeat


• providing well for my family


• being able to recover quickly from setbacks and to charge ahead to the next challenge


• staying informed, knowing what's going on


• being competent and able to get things to work efficiently


• being able to motivate people



What's Hard About Being a THREE


• having to put up with inefficiency and incompetence


• the fear on not being -- or of not being seen as -- successful


• comparing myself to people who do things better


• struggling to hang on to my success


• putting on facades in order to impress people


• always being "on." It's exhausting.



THREEs as Children Often


• work hard to receive appreciation for their accomplishments


• are well liked by other children and by adults


• are among the most capable and responsible children in their class or school


• are active in school government and clubs or are quietly busy working on their own projects



THREEs as Parents


• are consistent, dependable, and loyal


• struggle between wanting to spend time with their children and wanting to get more work done


• expect their children to be responsible and organized

I'm curious-- how much stock do people put in silly "quizzes" like this? It's too much like fortune-telling for my taste.

I'd take those things with a grain of salt.

Also, if you're at risk of being assassinated at your spa, why don't you world hop to a better one?

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

I could, but I don't know of any.

[identity profile] edogawa-4869.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
There's one by Mt. Fuji, I'd suggest that one from all the others because of the hot springs.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
How do I know it's any good? I'm particular.

... Where is Mt. Fuji?

[identity profile] edogawa-4869.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess you'd have to see for yourself, I can't tell you your opinions.

Oh, It's in Japan.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
It seems like everyone's either from Japan or America here.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
And that's only the people from Earth-- which is incredibly over-represented here, by the way.

[identity profile] edogawa-4869.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
being from earth I have to disagree. But if that's your opinion, then that's your opinion.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
You can be from Earth and still recognize that there far more people from there than anywhere else.

[identity profile] edogawa-4869.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Well that's a fact. While I do think it'd be interesting to see more people from other places, I don't think earth is over-represented.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
That's because you're a narcissist.

[identity profile] edogawa-4869.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
hardly, I've been knocked off that pedestal. I'm just proud of where I'm from, your the same though, aren't you?

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. There are very few people here from the Fire Nation, though.

[identity profile] edogawa-4869.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
sounds like the community's not getting enough publicity then.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
The internet doesn't exist on my world.

[identity profile] edogawa-4869.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
ah, well the community has a mind of its own, maybe it'll find some other way to publicize its self.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Really, though, it wouldn't be very good if a bunch of people from my country started to show up. It would cause chaos.

[identity profile] edogawa-4869.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
...Chaos isn't a good thing.

[identity profile] edogawa-4869.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I wasn't saying that you didn't.

[identity profile] carrythesin.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Why would anyone want to kill you?

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a world leader, and my father wants to take the throne from me. He's imprisoned for trying to kill me himself, but he still has has supporters.

[identity profile] carrythesin.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't care about him either?

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
... I don't care about anyone.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
And you would know this how?

[identity profile] carrythesin.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Your father is still alive.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Policy and respect, not love. I wouldn't kill a former Fire Lord unless it was absolutely necessary.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I have guards who are loyal. Why?

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't be stupid enough not to have guards.

[identity profile] reliablekiller.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
If you need a few suggestions for hot springs were you aren't at risk for being assassinated, Azula, there are a few here in France that are quite nice.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
A spa is different from a hot springs. We don't have hot springs here at the palace.

[personal profile] oceanicbutterfly 2009-08-26 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
As of seeing these results? None whatsoever.
oceanicbutterfly: (unimpressed)

I thought "Azula are you asking whose place they should do it in"

[personal profile] oceanicbutterfly 2009-08-26 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yours. "Honest feedback"? Really?

Her's, obviously; Karen may have a mansion, but Azula has a PALACE

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-26 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
It's more accurate than inaccurate.

[identity profile] knifeurrib.livejournal.com 2009-08-26 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
Seems pointless to me.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-08-26 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
It is, largely.
