The Niners

I took the enneagram test and it placed me into the type nine category. The description for this category was that "Nines" like to have a hostile free environment. The more peaceful and stable the environment, the better. We also have an unusual ability to go with the flow and connect with others in a positive way. Nines aren't very opinionated, and can usually agree with most people in any situation. Now, even though nines like to be the mediators, this can also be our biggest weakness. We can sometimes worry too much about others, and not take into account our own opinions. This may leave us passive and even vulnerable to be taken advantage of.

I was a bit hesitant on the first thought of a personality test. I tend to think of these types of things as pretty vague and they can usually relate to anyone. However, I was surprised to see my results at the end. The top two categories it calculated me into were both very accurate in describing my sense of personality. I would have to agree with it, in saying that I'm a "Niner". I am usually the peacemaker and mediator of a group. I usually try to see both sides of a story before I jump to conclusions about something and usually not make a whole lot of a fuss about little things. I like to live a pretty laid back and optimistic life style which is another quality the nines were given. The description also said that being a peacemaker could also be our biggest flaw. I couldn't agree with this more. In many instances I would rather avoid a confrontation than have one in the first place. This can sometimes leads me into bad situations with someone or something, and can also lead me to have some built up resentment towards a person for the short time being. All in all though, I'm happy I took this test as it made me realize a little bit more about myself.

About me

Hello bloggers,

I'm here to inform you in a couple paragraphs on a little bit about myself. My name is Derek Ohs, and I've been a Montana resident my entire life. I was born and raised in the tiny farming community of Glendive, Montana which is about thirty miles from the North Dakota border. The town itself has at most five thousand people. A small town like Glendive has its pros and cons just like any other small town, but the people in the town are what make it enjoyable. Everyone is very friendly and pretty loyal to each other.
My family and my friends have had a huge impact on me and have helped make me into the person I am today. My family is a big part of my life. I'm the youngest of three children. I have one brother, Brian, who is twenty-two and one sister, Stephanie, who is twenty-four. My mother is a single parent to three kids and I have a lot of respect for her for that. My dad died when I was ten years old and I still think about him daily and miss him a lot. His death has taught me not to sweat the small stuff and that things happen for a reason weather you like them or not you just have to learn from them. My friends are another important factor to me. I have a very close group of friends back home. Most of whom i've grown up with since elementary school until now. We will probably remain good friends for the rest of our lives. I was the only boy from my graduating class last year to go to the University of Montana. Needless to say Missoula was a bit of a change for me from the flatlands and farming culture of the eastern Montana, but I like the town and am enjoying the college life. Another big part in my life has also been sports. Anything from basketball to table tennis, I've probably played it or tried it at least once. Sports was just a way to keep yourself busy in a small town and it was usually a fun thing to do growing up. As I grew older I began to focus more on basketball, football, and track and I continued to do these three sports throughout high school. I was a captain in all three during my junior and senior years of high school. All in all I think i'd describe myself as a somewhat humorous and pretty laidback fellow. Welp, I think this pretty much wraps my story up in a nutshell.
