PERSONALITY.

MBTI: entp-A { the debater }

Debaters are the ultimate devil’s advocate, thriving on the process of shredding arguments and beliefs and letting the ribbons drift in the wind for all to see. An odd juxtaposition arises with Debaters, as they are uncompromisingly honest, but will argue tirelessly for something they don’t actually believe in, stepping into another’s shoes to argue a truth from another perspective. Debaters’ capacity for debate can be a vexing one – while often appreciated when it’s called for, it can fall painfully flat when they step on others’ toes by say, openly questioning their boss in a meeting, or picking apart everything their significant other says. This is further complicated by Debaters’ unyielding honesty, as this type doesn’t mince words and cares little about being seen as sensitive or compassionate. Likeminded types get along well enough with people with the Debater personality type, but more sensitive types, and society in general, are often conflict-averse, preferring feelings, comfort, and even white lies over unpleasant truths and hard rationality. Treating others as they’d be treated, Debaters have little tolerance for being coddled, and dislike when people beat around the bush, especially when asking a favor. Debater personalities find themselves respected for their vision, confidence, knowledge, and keen sense of humor, but often struggle to utilize these qualities as the basis for deeper friendships and romantic relationships.

Enneagram: Eight { 98% } with a very close One { 95% }

Type Eight is also known as The Challenger. Eights see themselves as strong and powerful and seek to stand up for what they believe in. Eights are motivated by the desire to be independent and to take charge of themselves and others. They are assertive personalities and passionate about life, which they approach with vigor and confidence. Eights know how to look after themselves. They pursue their own destiny. Eights have an imposing presence: they are action people, preferring to ‘do’ rather than conceptualize, and they are ready to make the difficult decisions and accept the consequences if things go wrong.

Type One can be thought of as The Perfectionist. Ones place a lot of emphasis on following the rules and doing things correctly.

Temperament: choleric

The choleric temperament is fundamentally ambitious and leader-like. They have a lot of aggression, energy, and/or passion, and try to instill it in others. They can dominate people of other temperaments, especially phlegmatic types. Many great charismatic military and political figures were choleric. They like to be in charge of everything. However, cholerics also tend to be either highly disorganized or highly organized. They do not have in-between setups, only one extreme to another. As well as being leader-like and assertive, cholerics also fall into deep and sudden depression. Essentially, they are very much prone to mood swings.

YOUR MUSE’S DREAM ..:

Job:

she already has it, managing her own hedge fund that has several firms in multiple countries. in a perfect world, yasmin would continue to expand to other cities, but she has already achieved one of the greatest ambitions she’s ever had.

Vacation:

spending the day exploring a foreign city, trying the different flavors and entertainment that it might have to offer. some of her favorite vacations to date have been in locations she’s unfamiliar with, such as athens and moscow.

Day:

waking up and having coffee and breakfast with her fiancée, a very productive day of work, lunch with the gremlins, followed by an afternoon filled with meetings and a family dinner. ( she is driven mostly by ambition and, as such, cannot imagine days without work in some capacity. )

As a child:

to be different. it was expected that yasmin would follow the rest of her siblings into the family’s aerospace empire, but she instead forged her own path through finance and economics.

Last night:

it was a nightmare, truly, that involved yasmin adopting a pet.

That they gave up on:

being a mother. yasmin had always longed to have biological children of her own, but now as she’s nearing forty-two, she’s realized that’s not something that’s going to occur.

That they have right now:

to continue to expand the hedge firm as well as to be more present with her family. the closer yasmin has gotten to both regina and royce, the more she’s realized she needs to focus on family at least as much as her work.

used mostly to numb the uncomfortable silence and provide some background music while he studies. music is usually paired with a cup of lukewarm tea, ink smudged fingers, and a temporary burst of creative energy due to a particularly stimulating lyric. it reeks of fear, longing, morose -- a tiny bit of hope, too, left up to interpretation.
