I'm a Type 2 - The Humanitarian

Friends, family, and colleagues probably appreciate your caring and generous nature. They're also apt to know that when they come to you with a problem, you'll usually offer a shoulder to cry on and unparalleled compassion. As a Humanitarian, you're likely to be seen as a loving and helpful person with a kind heart.

Being a member of this type puts you in good company. Mother Teresa, with her tireless devotion to aid the sick and destitute members of society, and Bishop Desmond Tutu, with his emphasis on nonviolent protest against racial injustices, are also Type 2s

This means that compared to the eight other Enneagram types, you have a strong sense of empathy for other people. In fact, you're the kind of warm, sincere person who can be uniquely capable of seeing the good in others.

You know how sometimes you read an explanation about people born on a particular day means they are this or that, or people who are Gemini tend to have this type of personality? Well, I was born in the Year of the Pig in Chinese terms. And the asians have me down pretty well...
"People born in the Year of the Pig have tremendous fortitude and great honesty. They don't make many friends but they make them for life, and anyone having a Boar Year friend is fortunate for they are extremely loyal. They have so much of the perfectionist in them that others may be inclined to perceive them as snobs, but this is a misconception. They don't talk much but have a great thirst for knowledge and they are generally well informed. Boar people are quick tempered, yet they hate arguments and quarreling. Pigs also care a great deal about friends and family and work hard to keep everyone in their life happy. Helping others is a true pleasure for the Pig, who feels best when everyone else is smiling. No matter how bad problems seem to be, Boar people try to work them out honestly. The Pig could happily spend hours on end making love, napping, taking a long bubble bath or dallying over an incredible spread of rich foods." Yep, thats me in a nutshell, especially the honesty and friends for life stuff. Oh, and the perfectionist bit too. Another thing I would add about myself is that my mantra is Balance. I believe you can enjoy life to the fullest by knowing how to balance it all, it's all about the Ying Yang of life.
