1. What am I good at?

I am honestly really good at keeping up with my workload and task I need to accomplish. I have had a pretty hectic life these last 2 years and honestly can say I have been working hard for myself and my family. They have made me really good at keeping up with what’s going on because of how busy taking care of my mother is while doing school full time.

1. What do I value?

Generally I value family very high over anything else. My mother got sick 2 years ago and I have been taking care of her since. My mother had a life changing situation and I have helped her through it all. I can do anything for my family as I really care about them and would do anything they would do for me for them.

1. How did I get here?

I came to this point not by choice but because I must. No one in my family was able to take care of my mother so I deicide to stop everything and help her figure it out. I came to this point because no once else could and I would do anything for my family especially my mother who has done so much for me.

1. Where am I going?

Now I am still helping my mother but I am also finishing school online so I can continue my life. I hope to graduate next year and begin to finish my flight license after. I really want to get into the airlines as my family has worked for them since I was young. Being a pilot will also make my family happy so hopefully in the future I am a pilot.

The personality I got on the test was type 1 The Reformer and is closely related to a perfectionist. I need to learn more things in order to become the ideal perfectionist hence the reformer part. Saying that I am aware of my flaws and understand what I need to do in order to be my ideal self. That I typically have an eye for the finer details and will improve till I meet my perfect criteria. I also have a tendency to hide my emotions and listen to more reason and results then how I feel emotionally.

A potential employer reviewing my Enneagram Type 1 results would likely see a number of strong qualities that make me a valuable and dependable employee. As a Reformer you are responsible and committed to doing things the right way. The attention to detail creates drive for improvement, and strong sense of ethics makes me a reliable team member who consistently strives for excellence. The high standards of a Reformer make me a natural leader in quality control and any role that requires discipline and precision.

However, an employer might also recognize a few challenges with my type 1 Reformer approach. Since it closely mimics a perfectionist I could be overly critical in some areas and over work myself to achieve the perfect results. Additionally Type 1s tend to suppress emotions and view emotional expression as weakness I may find it difficult to show vulnerability or connect on an emotional level with fellow work colleagues. Over all I believe that the pros outweighs the cons and the employer would see my value in other aspects then what a test results says.

As a business owner making the right choice for hiring is crucial especially when filling an important role in my company. In the proposed dilemma choosing between Avery who has high potential but low performance and Jamie who is consistent but has limited potential, I would hire Jamie. For a company I believe having a stable and dependable person like Jamie can really make a business thrive because she can consistently complete the task I need, but gets flustered in situations outside her routine. Avery’s peak performance is attractive however not being consistent can really make it hard to rely on him when he’s unreliable. For the business the operations need someone who’s consistently shows up and delivers the work needed to keep things running. Jamie is perfect for this role because she is predictable and would help create trust within the team because she shows reliability which in my opinion is better than Avery’s high potential.

I would put Avery in a marketing section or design because having such brilliance if he could have a breakthrough idea it can help set the company apart from others. In this field even if Avery is slightly a slacker but has a great idea because of his intelligence and leads to a viral product or campaign is far more significant then day to day operations. Creating a product or campaign that boost the business values significantly is irreplaceable.

Jamie would be perfect for an HR job or customer service role. These positions require accuracy and routine which is perfect for Jamie who excels in everyday task. These jobs depend on details and commitment to doing things right consistently. In this role Jamie’s is better because having consistency here is better then the brilliance Avery has in these roles.
