What is an Enneagram?
Most people would have never heard of an Enneagram before, but an Enneagram is a specific test that you would take to find out your personality type. The Enneagram is a circle with nine points spreading around the shape, each time it hits the outside of the circle it will show you the personality type. Each personality type is linked to another, whether the personality type is a helper it would be linked to the assertor, observer or romantic. When taking the test you will answer a series of questions truthfully out of twenty for each type, then depending on what type you had the most scores is your personality type. The traditional Enneagram that hasn’t been adapted to our modern day was invented by a Bolivian man called Oscar Ichazo. He started a school that was based on psychology and spirituality but he also taught his new way to test your personality type. So far Oscar’s traditional Enneagram has been modified to fit our day. With this historical test it’s interesting to find out what type you are.

How many personality types are there?
In the Enneagram, there are nine different points meaning there are nine different types. When taking the test you come across each personality’s ways and thoughts and by saying yes that means you somehow relate to it. In the Enneagram the different types of personalities are the perfectionist, the helper, the achiever, romantic, questioner, peacemaker, assertor and adventurer. In the traditional one or a different or modified one the names can be different but the number will say the same and so will the meaning.

Briefly explain each one: [[image:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f3/Question_mark_alternate.png width="142" height="195" align="right"]]
__Peacemaker:__ a peacemaker is an optimistic person that is truthful and accepting. Peacemakers hate conflict between people and try hard to resolve it; their biggest fear would be loosing someone. __Perfectionist:__ Perfectionists have a strong sense of what’s wrong and what’s right. They are wise and noble but they have a critical mind that can be taken the wrong way. __Observer:__ being an observer you are very curious and alert, people may think you are not because of your sit back and listen technique but this doesn’t mean that you aren’t smart. Observers often act older than their age with their high maturity. __Helper:__ with a warm hearted manner and are very generous to others helpers are well liked and are very friendly. But they sometimes do not acknowledge what they need because they are too busy giving everyone else helps and consideration. __Adventurer:__ being very spontaneous and having an outgoing and adventuring attitude this people are very optimistic and have many talents. But being out there all the time can drain there energy and they also can become distracted from important things. __Achiever:__ being very attractive and charming, achievers are ambitious and energetic. They are loved but with there drive to advance and there concerns of there look or popularity they can change easily. __Questioner:__ with a committed and security wise way of thinking questioners are reliable and trustworthy people. Although having problems with self-doubt and being indecisive, but with being hardworking and reliable these people have support through everything. __Romantic:__ being s ensitive but also so creative and honest, these romantic people though are sometimes self conscious, moody and have problems with self indulgence. __Assertor:__ being strong and very confident these people are decisive and protective. They can sometimes be confronting and intimidating but these people are highly liked. Assertors are looked up to for being heroic and inspiring.

A main summary of my personality type:
Being a personality type number six the questioner, it is very interesting how much it relates to me, although some aspects don’t cover my personality I think a majority of the questioner is me. To have the desire of security and support we are well aware of our anxiousness but are a great person inside, being responsible and reliable, questioners are likable in many ways. But with being indecisive, having self doubt and being also a little rebellious the sixes have a few imperfections. But at our best we are courageous in our self and an achiever of our own goals; we become champions in our selves. the questioner's worst fear is being without support and security, i think this is quite reasonable because without the support and security I get from people I would have to live without people supporting me through the bad times and good, and with out security it is hard to feel safe, although this is a big fear of mine i wouldn't say it is my greatest. our motivation to do andachieve things would be support, without the support that questioners need we would be complete wrecks, with our need for someone to catch us when we fall down is a big want and need. Also being called the loyalist, number sixes are the most loyal friends anybody could have, being people that will stay with you for as long as we like, number sixes don't liek to end relatioships. Reasons for being so loyal comes back to our need of support and security, our big fear of being abandoned and left without support, number sixes meet as many friends we can find. At our best, we are self trusting and trusting to others, being cooperative and independent we are as loyal as can be.

Princess Diana - the person who I aspire to be:
Princess Diana was a well loved woman who helped the world. Her full name being Diana Frances Mountbatten-Windsor, née Spencer, this princess was a blessing and I definitely aspire to be like her. Diana was born on the July 1st 1961, born into a wealthy and a high class family she spent time with the royal family. Living in Northampton she grew up with her father because her mother and her father divorced. Engaged and married to Prince Charles they had their wedding at St. Paul’s cathedral. Having to children Prince Harry and Prince William, Princess Diana became a well known person. With the break up between Prince Charles and Princess Diana it became hard for her, but it didn’t make her stop her work. Sadly, in 1997 princess Diana died, going through a tunnel in Paris, the car crashed while she was in it, unfortunately she died. It was a moment when everyone was sad, sad to see that a loving and helpful and amazing person had died. Princess Diana had many, many achievements; she helped many people and changed people’s lives. In the mid 1980’s Diana supported many charities, raising money and giving to charity. With the need to help people and for no suffering the Princess showed sympathy and love. She also ran campaigns, a well known one would be the HIV campaign, because HIV wasn’t a well known disease but people thought even touching someone you could contract it. Thankfully Princess Diana took photos and wrote about this that touching a person who has HIV will not mean that you will get HIV. An incredible campaign that she had was the ban of land mines, with people stepping on what they would think is just grass they could get their leg blown off instantly. I think it is very hard to judge Princess Diana on what personality type she is, the two points on the enneagram would be a questioner or a helper. Researching websites say that she is a questioner, in some ways I think that is true but in other ways I think she is a helper. She has helped many people in her life, changed people’s lives and has run campaigns and has donated thousands of pounds to charity. Although I still believe she is a little bit of the questioner to me I think she is a helper. Even though I am a questioner and not a helper I think that it would be an amazing achievement to have helped and change people’s lives to be better and that would make me a better person as well.

SEPEP- Ultimate
Being a part of SEPEP ultimate was a really fun thing, I enjoyed it a lot because we got to manage our own teams and got to do what we want rather than a teacher telling us everything. My role in the team was being a media/ publicity person, although most people picked it because it was a job for slackers and you didn’t have to do much you actually have a lot more to do. I have done a lot of things for the team, I have wrote recounts of every game, I have made profiles, taken photos and I have made a notice board. With help from a friend Emma we are making the notice board together, she is also a media and publicity person. SEPEP taught me a lot; it showed me that I can do things on my own and that doing things without being dependant is actually quite fun. I liked it how we have our own team and that we can build as much team spirit and chants and cheers and you know you have done it all by yourself. I am also interviewing team members about the games and how we are a team and what’s working and what’s not. Our team is very successful, we have the right spirit to try our hardest and not to give up, my team is called the Barracudas, we are organised and are never slacking off. Our team is successful because we stay positive and are always there for each other, if someone accidently doesn’t catch the Frisbee we won’t get mad we will just carry on trying our best. We are very fortunate because we are very good at the Frisbee, we haven’t lost a game, I wouldn’t say that we have won every game because we are all very sporty but I think we have won every game because we are a team that is always co-operating and working together and we are always trying our best and never just doing nothing. I think that is why we are winning, SEPEP has taught me a lot of things and it has been very enjoyable. My Speech - By Mia Layland Hello teachers and year eights, I am Mia Layland and I want to tell you why I should be elected as a part of the Marymount leadership group 2011. By electing me as your leader you are electing someone who will lead Marymount in the right way. Being elected as a leader for the MLG 2011, I will always be someone that will never let Marymount down. It is important to represent this school with confidence and compassion. With out leadership skills you can not be a leader but I have the qualities that it takes to be one. In term four’s independent study task it was about learning your personality type and how you can use it to lead others, and more importantly how to lead yourself. After taking the test I became an Enneagram number six which is the questioner or loyalist. As the name says itself we are very loyal people that are practical and helpful. Being a questioner we are very co-operative and compassionate, we are always happy and are well liked people, not for reasons like being popular but for reasons like being a kind and considerate person. Finding who you are is important because before you can lead others you must be able to lead yourself. Leadership qualities make up the aspects of leadership, if a person didn’t have any leadership qualities or skills then they couldn’t and wouldn’t be a leader. Leadership skills and qualities consist in my personality type; throughout independent study we have found the qualities in our personality. Being a questioner it shows that we are co-operative, well liked and responsible. I think that the top five personality skills and qualities would be: confidence, responsibility, co-operation, respect and trustworthy. These aspects of leadership are my opinion of the best qualities because they are productive and positive. I think I consist of a majority of those qualities, I think I am co-operative, which means I can work well in groups, I think I am trustworthy which means that people can come to me any time and I think I am responsible and respectful because I am considerate of others and can get things done on time. Another task in our independent study task was to choose a historical leader that you would aspire to be like. I chose a woman who has changed and more importantly helped the world. The leader I chose was Princess Diana, I chose Diana because of her willingness to help others that are in need and to change ways in the society that is wrong. Diana is a great role model to have as she has devoted her time to help; she still kept up with her royal duties and responsibilities as well. Princess Diana spent her time volunteering for many charities and donated thousands of pounds and helped millions of people. Over the years Diana leaded campaigns that helped so many people an important one was the HIV/AIDS, Diana showed awareness of the disease and also showed people not to discriminate and exclude the people with it. Another campaign that Princess Diana supported and lead was the campaign for the ban of landmines, Diana travelled to many countries to help the victims of the mines and to inform people about the dangers that they can have. I aspire to be like Princess Diana because she had the confidence and passion to help people. She changed the world, spreading love and care to people struggling with life. I want to be like her because of her consideration of everyone; she cared so much for people and gave most of her time to someone else, people that she didn’t even know. Unfortunately on the thirty first of august 1997 a car had crashed and Princess Diana was in it, it was devastation to the world that the person who had helped them had died. The school charisms play a big part in Marymount leadership. I believe that I can lead Marymount through the school charisms and in the direction of hospitality, compassion, reconciliation and stewardship. It is important to show these charisms as they are the pride in Marymount. They are great aspects of leadership. I would now like to finish by saying that I would be a great leader for Marymount, I think I can lead Marymount with the school charisms and I would like to lead in the way of princess Diana, how she helped and cared and changed the world to be different, not for herself but for people who were suffering. I would be a hardworking person who is committed and respectful and Marymount would definitely benefit from me being a leader. I am Mia Layland and electing me as part of Marymount leadership group 2011 you will be electing someone who will lead Marymount with pride, as princess Diana says: “I don't go by the rule book... I lead from the heart, not the head.”

media type="file" key="speech.mp3" width="240" height="20"  ﻿Health home- at home the power of the house is my dad, my dad is like the president, he decides major decisions and controls all the bills and money spent. although mum has got power dad has the majority. My dad is the person who works in the house rather than care or clean, he controls the money. My mum on the other hand has a completely different role, she cooks and cleans and cares for my sister and I. i and grateful for what my mum does for me as she does it through love. My sister and i don't really have power, I always have to ask if i want someting or want to do something, i guess this is fair.

School- at school power obviously comes from the principal, our school principle makes major decisions for our school and without her, our school definately wouldn't work. next in line would be our teachers, they decide many things for us and without them we wouldn't learn! teachers teach us so many things and with out them i wouldn't learn. The next people with power would be the MLG, they play a big role as being the leaders of the school, they are the ears to the students and they listen to what the students want. the people who don't really have any poweris probably the students we don't really get to make great decisions or lead the school but we have our MLG to speak to.

Socially- in my friendship group i am not a 'dominant' person, i don't over rule conversations or invade in anyones space. i am very talkative and i do join in on roughly every conversation. This is because our group is small and doesn't consist of many peoplee. if our group had a big amount of people then it would be harder to be there for everybody and to be close to people.
