The enneagram command-line interface application supports UNIX-based systems primarily (Linux, MacOS etc.). I'm uncertain whether or not it works on Windows. If you're curious about trying it, you can install it through the pacman package-manager from the AUR or from the cargo package manager, or alternatively clone the git repo and build it from there.
If you're running an Arch-based Linux distro, you can install it from the AUR:
yay -S enneagram
If not, you should be able to install it with cargo:
cargo install enneagram
If you're not sure how to install cargo, you can follow this guide.
The program should be safe to run on your computer, but keep in mind its origins are occult.
If your terminal supports graphics, (like for instance, kitty), then it should be able to display the graphical artwork. You can view the graphical representation of the enneagram by running the following command:
enneagram -a
Your enneatype can be evaluated in three steps, by entering the following command:
enneagram
You will then be prompted with three questions. Answer carefully. You can try to give it your own answers to evaluate yourself, or answer from the viewpoint of someone else to evaluate them. Enter the number corresponding to your answer for each question.
The first question will ask you to provide a framing, or domain for the rest of your questioning. Pick whatever you like.
You will then be asked to select the traid-pair combination in the two remaining questions. Try to be as honest with yourself as possible. The alternatives are supposed to be equally weighted in desireability, so that no objective preferred answer exists. They all come with a caveat.
You will then be met with an evaluation of your enneatype, and a follow-up question. The follow-up question, or pivot, allows you to navigate the lines of freedom within the enneagram by confronting a dillemma. The second answer of the dillemma leaves you remaining where you are. You can keep answering the follow-up questions until you land on a steady-state answer.
Here's an example:
Q: please select a domain
A: desire-machine -> body without organs
Q: I am my thoughts, my fear hurts me and I need control
A: you believe you can change it and you tell yourself that everything is fine
Enneagram 7 Disorganization
792 Positive/"everything is fine"
567 Head/"I am my thoughts, my fear hurts me"
147 Frustration/"I need control"
378 Assertive/"I can change it"
Q: how will you handle your fear?
A: i will follow my gut, take responsibility, and tolerate it.
Enneagram 1 Recovery
135 Competent/"I take responsibility"
891 Gut/"I am my urges, my concience hurts me"
147 Frustration/"I need control"
612 Compliant/"I can tolerate it"
Q: how will you manage your frustration?
A: i will follow my heart, blame others, and avoid it.
Enneagram 4 Rejection
468 Reactive/"it's their fault"
234 Heart/"I am my emotions, my feelings hurt me"
147 Frustration/"I need control"
945 Withdrawn/"I can avoid it"
Q: how will you deal with your longing?
A: i will follow my gut, take responsibility, and tolerate it.
Enneagram 1 Recovery
135 Competent/"I take responsibility"
891 Gut/"I am my urges, my concience hurts me"
147 Frustration/"I need control"
612 Compliant/"I can tolerate it"
Q: how will you manage your frustration?
A: i will follow my gut, take responsibility, and tolerate it.
The initial enneatype here was enneagram 7: disorganisation. We are met with fear. We choose to tolerate it through resilience and duty, and move to enneagram 1: recovery. Now we are met with frustration. To satisfy our frustration, we decide to reject responsibility and follow our heart. We are met with longing and loneliness. We choose to 'get a grip' and tolerate it, by taking responsibility, and as such, return to enneagram 1: recovery. Now we are faced with frustration, once again, but this time, after reviewing our options, we decide to follow our gut and take responsiblity. The End. Makes sense?
You can view the combinations of different enneatypes and how they relate by appending them as numeric arguments. Example:
enneagram 1 23
You can perform the evaluation without pivot-questions by using the -!p flag (the exclamation-mark means not):
enneagram -!p
The enneagram CLI now supports custom configurations. You can apply it using the -c flag, followed by the name of the config or a path to it.
enneagram -c unigram
enneagram -c christ
enneagram -c schizogram
enneagram -c ./my_custom_enneagram.yaml
The configuration is in the form of a .yaml-file. See the directory ~/.config/enneagram for examples. The location may differ on other operating systems.
The configuration can specify every phrase and naming of enneatypes, triads, questions and answers, as well as the coloration of the graphic artwork.
I don't yet have an email address attached to this website. For now, you can make an issue on the github, and i might add it to the preset collection. Later i might experiment with hosting a repository of them in some other way, to make the sharing of enneagram yamls easier. Who knows?
This program is a tool for introspection with occult origins. Its source code is available to view online, on github. You may review the code as you like.

I used to avoid reading anything other than my university textbooks for several years. Now i've figured i enjoy reading other stuff that's unrelated to my field of study. It's nice to read just for its own enjoyment and to relax before i go to bed. I'm a slow reader, so it takes a while for me to complete a whole book.
Last year i read J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion, which was alright. I really liked some of the stories in it. The first chapter was really interesting, describing the creation of the world and all that. There's a lot of names of people and places, too many for me to really construct anything meaningful around, most of the time. Snorre's The King Sagas also do this (it's a historical work, after all), but in that one the people and places are at least factual, which makes it more interesting to me (subjectively speaking). Don't get me wrong, i still really like The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit (as far as i know, the best fantasy books every written).
Right now i'm reading the book Revolt Against the Modern World by Julius Evola. It tries to assess the spiritual reasons for the rise and collapse of civilizations, imposing a cyclic view of history from a somewhat elitist viewpoint (i.e. the elite hold the fundamental truth of reality, and everything else follow). It first describes the symbolism of the traditional/ancient world and what role it played to keep society as a concise and functional unit. Many of these traditions share striking similarities across the world, suggesting some kind of common lineage. Evola proposes that there are in total four major ancient tranditional lineages; the Aryan, the Hyperborean, the Lemurian and the Atlantic, each attributed to their own hypothetical places of origin. Then Evola proceeds to describe the meta-historical cycles, and how they fit in describing the cycles of different major historical empires such as the Greek Empire, the Roman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire. He attempts to construct a model for how societies tend to develop spiritually. Four phases are described: the golden age (associated with sun-worship, then hero-worship), the silver age (feminine-spirited, associated with rule of the priestly class, eventually leading to decadence), the bronze age (associated with the titans, a lofty and naive attempt to defeat tradition, to blindly attempt to take the place of gods), and the iron age (collapse of society, spiritual death and emptiness). I enjoy it very much, and have soon reached the end of the book. I wonder what verdict Evola will have for the modern world?
Inbetween, i also read The King Sagas by Snorre Sturlasson, which describe the lineage of Norwegian kings. So far, i've reached the saga of Olav den hellige, who succeeded in converting Norway into Christianity. It will be interesting to revisit, now after soon having read the adjacent work by Julius Evola, which offer meaningful constructs to understand mythical texts. The King Sagas blur the line between history and mythology. Due to its long timespan, the earlier sagas more resemble myths, while the later sagas are more historically precise.
The last book i read prior was Delueze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus: Schizophrenia and Capitalism. In it, they try to describe the mental illness of Schizophrenia as a dual control-system, an interaction between two systems dubbed the desire machine and the body without organs. It's quite dense, but nonetheless entertaining. The process of deterritorialization, to involuntarily decode coded streams of information without end, and a boundless force of production simply driven by an inner need to produce, are all described as products of this interaction between the desire machine and the body without organs, which sum up what they dub the schizophrenic process. The process of describing a system in the same terms, is named schizo-analysis, as opposed to Freuds psycho-analysis. The lens of schizo-analysis can then be be applied to explain greater systems such as history, society, ideology and anything, really, and perhaps even as a force to change society. At least that's what they attempt to demonstrate. It's pretty funny, and often times makes sense even despite how absurd it all is. Very enjoyable read. It seems like i'm looking in from the outside with the perspective of the psychologists, on how they view the human psyche (which i know differs a lot between them, but yeah - you know what i mean).
I really like dystopic science-fiction such as Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.
Another personal favorite of mine is Arto Passilinna's Volomari Volotinen, his wife and other old things, an absurdist love story about the endless accumulation of random items.

If you're reading this, the RSS-feed/blog is now online! This post is a test.
Welcome to my homepage. I dedicate this page to spare-time activities and whatever comes to mind that is interesting to write about.
I'm an engineering major. My master is in sensor systems. In my spare time, i enjoy making music, swimming in the ocean, and doing programming for fun (not for work). This summer i work as a summer intern on drone hardware, specifically a module for monitoring its power consumption.
This week, in my spare time, i've been working on making a website, the one you see here. I still haven't decided on a domain-name. This website should be a static-site, which i generate using my own static-site generator. I make the static site generator as i go, to fit the website's needs. It's whatever.
Lately i've also been working on rewriting the signal processing library i made a few years ago. It needs maintainence. It's kind of sad to see how it has been reduced to something non-functional, but i'm hoping to fix it with time, hopefully ending up at a better end product.
I also made this strange personality-test-type program using the pseudoscientific personality model called the enneagram, and i believe it might be occult. I'm not sure what i've accidentally done, but it seems to be able to affect the mind in a bad way. I may have implemented a form of technomancy. It would be interesting to delve deeper into the literature on this model and try to understand it better. Perhaps it can be used in a more constructive way, with some modifications?
Right now i have a brief summer vacation, but i'll return to work on monday. I enjoy my job, so i very much look forward to my vacation ending, to be honest. Working and having responsibilities gives me purpose (sad but true).
The RSS feed can, for now, be found at https://159.223.225.17/index.rss. When i get an actual domain-name for this website, it will change, but the path after the hostname will remain the same. There will be made an announcement when the change is made.
I'll make more blog posts when i want to. Maybe some youtube videos when the summer ends. Who knows? I don't follow a schedule.
Anyways: Goobye, good-evening and goodnight (for now)
