I think you are EXCEPTIONAL

Theresa "Tessa" Gleason · · Verified

I think you are EXCEPTIONAL!!! After going through narcissistic abuse in the family, where due to a strange jealousy, I became the scapegoat, and was treated like Cinderella. Thank God I saw Walt Disney's version of both Cinderella and Snow White when I was just 5 years old, as an alarm that I was not imagining the nightmare I was living in! So it was only natural, that I went to college, and studied psychology at both the Bachelor's and graduate levels. But the dean was a turbaned Sickh and narcissist who yelled his hatred of me, for being a member of the Baha'i World Faith, (which as a teen I had joined, and been disowned for by my family). The dean of the graduate school felt quite entitled to use continuous hostile sexual harassment, with swearing and threats of physical violence; so I went to the MD Psychiatrist/President of the college and complained that the dean needed supervision so as not to harm grad students. I mentioned to the Founder and President that I recognized, the dean was a # 8 personality structure on the Enneagram by author, Don Richard Riso. The President responded, "Only another "8", can get rid of an "8" ( which is the most aggressive of the 9 personality structures, and; when unhealthy, can downslide into the "Anti-Social personality" that shows little or no conscience. [ of the 9 Personality Types of the Enneagram: 3 are in the head; 3 are in the heart; and 3 are in the "gut" or body. like the "8"] The next day, instead of taking any action to resolve the hostile situation; the President resigned from being on the Board of the Grad School.
