Did you know people are mistyped 65-70% of the time?
The type that’s returned to you after those online assessments are oftentimes inaccurate.
Listen now
Why are they incorrect?
Because we answer based on behaviors, not motives, and because we’ve experienced lots of trauma and therefore have compensatory strategies that come up.
The Wings of the Enneagram are the numbers on the sides of our main type.
This is why people oftentimes ask: Does my type change? The answer is: No, our core type does not change, but how it gets expressed can.
Remember: Not one person is a pure personality type, each one of us is a unique mixture of our main type and usually one of the two types adjacent to it.
The healthier you get, the more easily you can toggle between both Wings.
Unhealthier people are very rigid and don’t waver at all. These people tend to be more close-minded and not think outside their own box.
But the beauty of the Enneagram is how it can be used as a compass to navigate and access all of the beautiful gifts of our type.
