Hey Fearless, I scored a 7 in being a type 6. Types 2, 5 and 7 all tied with a score of 5. So, I guess it's pretty clear that type 6 is the winner. I think it describes me pretty well, but so does my horoscope Really though, if I read the others, 6 really does sound the most like me.
Although I do think of myself as 'giving', I wouldn't state that as one of my hallmark qualities because I don't see myself as any more giving than most of the people I'm surrounded by. Honestly, and much less complimentary, I think I just allow people to push the limits of my boundaries. I don't have a whole lot of contact with my brother anymore because when he lived here, he took advantage of me as a babysitter meanwhile wanting very little to do with my family. I allowed that to go on to the point where it deteriorated our R. So, while I suppose it was 'giving' to be his babysitter, I didn't do it with a happy heart which is supposed to be what giving is all about. I was resentful that he wouldn't quit being such a self-absorbed creep, but I wanted to 'keep the peace', so I usually agreed. Big difference, huh?
Same thing with H really. I'm easy going for the most part....but resentment has held a special place in me due to the things I felt but wouldn't say. I've discovered that I do NOT like to be vulnerable and feel much more comfortable with anger. So, I let it get to the point of anger and then I feel more within my comfort zone to tackle the problem.

Really though, if I read the others, 6 really does sound the most like me.
