Keeping up with a Perfectionist

As the year ends, I am starting this blog to mark 2007. I can’t quite decide yet if 2007 has been good to me or not but I’m certain that it hasn’t been bad. Lots of lessons learned. That’s something to be thankful for.

I took an enneagram test again today. Enneagrams are used to determine personality types. The result was the same as when I took it last week for one of my classes in grad school. I have a Type1 Personality. Type 1 refers to perfectionists/reformers. Hence, the title of this blog. I’m not sure if enneagrams are traced back to astronomy…kasi di ba Virgos are known to be perfectionists? As labeled, perfectionists/reformers are highly idealistic. They have strong moral standards (ewan lang if this is still true for me).

I guess in some ways, the test results fits my personality. I doubt if I have keen attention to details. Hindi rin naman ako masyadong OC (medyo lang). Pero, I really have that tendency to always make sure na nasa tama ako in terms of making decisions or how I act. In a way, this explains how I decided on certain things in my life this year. Pure logic. Napakacerebral ko talaga, even in relationships.

I seek perfection. Most of the time plus point yun. Yun nga lang minsan seeking perfection does not guarantee happiness.
