1. No clue. My formation eschewed traditional spirituality for the new age crap. I used to know my enneagram number but I have thankfully forgotten it. And they wonder why the Redemptorists are dying.
2. Get the wig. Take and post pictures!
3. My phone (in a pinch I can use it for the Divine Office and spiritual reading—if I remember to download them); my rosary; chocolate (hey, I need something to give me energy!).
Your heading "Good judge" reminded me a of a quote which Hambone discovered--I can't remember the exact thing but I think it was something about a harsh law enforced by a loving judge. You know those judges that have youtube channels and record court proceedings? That kind of thing.
1- No, I don't know my dominant temperaments. I would guess I'm some combination of Melancholic/Phlegmatic but it's all greek to me.
2- No tips other than what I said above. In my observations of other families around me, the best laid plans always come down to "know your child" and "know yourself". Jordan Peterson had a thing about "don't let your kids become someone you hate" and that sticks out in my mind. They need the structure--but they also need to be able to become individuals. You're finding the balance. 20 years from now I don't think they will remember your harshest moments, but they will 100% remember that "dad tried really hard to be better" and that is more important I think.
3- Assuming normal disclaimers like I cannot answer "boat, lifetime supply of ham and cheese sandwiches, a good book". Actually this is an interesting question and I'm struggling to give myself parameters to work within. Spiritual health, Physical health, mental health. It'd need to be one thing to help all three. Rosary, maybe a net for catching fish, and a book of any kind. As long as it's not robinson crusoe.
1. Sanguine with all its glories and shortcomings. At a party - you hear me before you see me.
2. I try to figure out the situation before making a judgement. Unless it's a celebrity scandal, then I usually believe everything I read.
3. Water filter, Bible, matches
