ENNEAGRAM TYPE DISCOVERY
Mistyping is very common. So common, it’s actually part of the process of finding our type.
When we take the time to discover our patterns, by getting to know ourselves through a wider lens, we get a clearer sense of how we react in a variety of situations.
(And how that’s different from the other people in our life.)
That’s why I recommend slowing down the typing process. To see it as part of our development journey, not a prerequisite to it.
WHY IT HAPPENS
There are many reasons we land on the wrong type at first.
We can:
A SLOWER APPROACH
Instead of rushing to certainty, slow down the process.
Start with the Enneagram type that seems most likely, then explore its three subtypes. If none feel like a good fit, repeat the process.
See discovering your type as part of your development, not a prerequisite to using the Enneagram.
I have more suggestions in the video.
KEEP EXPLORING
I’ve created a YouTube series about things that can make it hard to find your Enneagram type, including stress, behaviour versus motivation, comparison, idealising a type and the influence of culture.
FROM INSIGHT TO PRACTICE
Knowing your Enneagram type helps to unlock your resistance to enjoying the life you have.
