A bunch of my girlfriends from work got together tonite for a girls nite out...we had dinner at BD's Mongolian BBQ and it was delicious!! In case you haven't heard of this place, let me introduce you! They have a buffet of all these ingredients for you to choose from--none of which are cooked. So you pick the meat/seafood/veggies/etc you'd like in your dish, then add noodles (or not if you prefer to eat the concoction with tortillas or rice), then grab a recipe card & add all the sauces/spices/etc to cook your meal in. After finishing your selection you take your bowl to the grill, which is this flat, round griddle which is about 4-5 feet in diameter. The guys throw the contents of your bowl on the griddle, cook it up, and Bam! (imagine Emeril here) you've got a great meal. or not. guess it depends on your selections. Anywho, i havent yet had a bad dish there...it's been yummy every time! This time I put together rice noodles, shrimp, scallops, salmon, imitation crab, julienned carrots, mushrooms & pineapple with teriyaki sauce. MAN that was good stuff! Aside from the fabulous meal, we had a good time just joking around & cutting up...I am a lucky girl to work with such great women. We're such a diverse group, but have such a good time together, which i think contributes to us working well together.
In something completely unrelated to my post so far (hence the title), I found this test while reading some blogs, and it yielded the below results. I thought it was pretty interesting, and pretty close considering that there were only 2 questions to answer. Crazy! Here are the results...Take the test & let me know what you get!
The Asserter
Your Enneagram type is EIGHT.
"I must be strong"
Asserters are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.
How to Get Along with Me:
- Stand up for yourself... and me.
- Be confident, strong, and direct.
- Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.
- Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender, vulnerable side.
- Give me space to be alone.
- Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.
- I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's a personal attack.
- When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just the way I am.
What I Like About Being a Eight:
- Being independent and self-reliant
- Being able to take charge and meet challenges head on
- Being courageous, straightforward, and honest
- Getting all the enjoyment I can out of life
- Supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me
- Upholding just causes
What's Hard About Being a Eight:
- Overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to
- Being restless and impatient with others' incompetence
- Sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
- Never forgetting injuries or injustices
- Putting too much pressure on myself
- Getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when things don't go right
Eights as Children Often:
- are independent
- have an inner strength and a fighting spirit
- are sometimes loners
- seize control so they won't be controlled
- figure out others' weaknesses
- attack verbally or physically when provoked
- take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundings
Eights as Parents:
- are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted
- are sometimes overprotective
- can be demanding, controlling, and rigid
