We finished Christmas today.
Enneagram is bogus.
I say this not only because I just don't buy into the "understand people by labeling them as a certain kind of person, rather than getting to know them thing," since my personal belief is that some things are the same in all people, while other things are totally individual. Some things link us all, others can't be linked at all.
Example: As soon as Capt. Von Trapp says to Rolf, something along the lines of, "You won't blow that whistle. Give it here. You don't have the guts," you know that Rolf isn't going to listen to him. That links us all. However, exactly what he does is totally unique to Rolf. What he does is he doesn't blow the whistle. He yells. But, you couldn't understand why by just labeling him as a personality 1 through 9. You'd have to know him well. But it doesn't take knowing him to know that he's not going to listen to condescending comments from his girlfriend's father.
The other reason I say this is because while trying to promote understanding our differences, by IDing ourselves as types in health class to get to know eachother, we're just labeling ourselves and eachother.
Labeling is one thing I hate. Yes, I'm a geek, and I'll tell you that so you get the basic picture, but I'd hate you if, upon telling you this, you assumed that I live in front of my computer, never socialized, had few friends, and dressed like it's still the 70s.
And do you know what the girl next to me said as soon as we started this? "You're a 9, I think." I read over 9, and it's not me. I can see how she got there, but only because she barely knows me. Hooray for using labels to get to know eachother. And the teacher comes over. "So, are you a type 5? The thinker?" So she's seen my grades. And now, she's jumped to conclusions.
Labels are by far the cruellest thing that goes on in high school. Hooray for spreading the love, Health Curriculum.
