I love that you have this channel and this interview in particular. I just found out my enneagram type (I’m a strong 5, and INTJ) and I’m recently married to a 2. This was so helpful. Thank you for sharing! Subscribed! 😊

This is super helpful! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for your insights. I am trying to decide wether my mother is a 1 or a 3. You brought up the perfect/efficient dilemma and I have seen this in another video. So I asked her. She has been working with food all her life and is a real workoholic. Now she is retired but still take on projects. She is always stressed and around noon "half the day is gone" and "I have no time to do xxx". Anyway I asked in the middle of her food preparing if you can choose. Would you want to be perfect or be done quick and she chose to be perfect. So 1 I guess. At the same time type 1 don't strike me to be stressed and always wanting to squeeze as much productivity in as possible during a day. That feels more like a 3. But that test still makes me lean more towards 1 so thank you 😊

⁠ I ruled out Type 5 because I’m not what is described as a private/secretive person and I’m not socially awkward. I am the self pres Type 3 countertype which made it hard to initially figure out. The Enneagram is indeed a powerful tool for self awareness, growth, and change. I love it!

Thank you for the video ! Still don’t know what I am as I am a bit of both you mention for different aspects !

This gives me more clarity between being a 3 or 6! I was tested by a therapist and even he wasn't sure if I am a 3 or 6. After your video, I feel more aligned with a 6 because of the intense anxiety I feel. However, I am an "achiever" as well. What subtype of 6 can look like a 3 in terms of achieving?

I got 2,6, and 9 on those fake tests and decided to come here because I got really confused about my enneagram. I already watched your other vid about 2 and 6! I found myself as a 2. Thanks for the nice vid and keep it up ❤

Please could you give your opinion on whether Quentin Crisp was a core 7 with a huge 4 heart fix, or a core 4 with a huge 7 head fix? It is very apparent from some interviews about how he lived that he was self preservation last, which is very rare on top of an already less common type structure, which I guess is why he seems so "extreme" compared to most people who have 4 with 7 or 7 with 4. He is an inspiration to me but very confusing to Enneagram type.

You are so underrated you deserve more views

What’s your mbti

I'm ESTJ, LSE, though my enneagram tests usually give 8 or 1, both very high. I've watched the video and I'm still both...😂 Tbh I feel it is dumb to try to forcefully type myself into one of them, because it looks like I'm indeed a mix of both, but not entirely any one of them. I'll look into those wings more to see if they make sense, Until now 8w7 makes the more sense. Let's see.

8w7 here, actually disagree with the details part. Because we like to have control over our environments we do like to look at details and I do like the rules; as long as I’m the one who made them.

I ruled out 6 because in spite of a dominant self preservation instinct, I’m much more independent, not a fan of groups, like to work alone, and strive to be self sufficient.

Great work Tiff, love it

I love checklists and details but I'm also prone to anger..so what type am I ?

The constant smiling makes me think you must be a type two.

We're nerds. And loving it.

Yeah, you have a tendancy to think that everybody is alike at their core... but that there are anomalies or wild cards in the deck. So for a 5, you are thinking that people with a brain, do not necessarily want or need you around all the time. It's hard to believe that a lot of people need or desire to be around people a lot.

I'm so glad Ellen said she loves details and spreadsheets - That's so me! I'm more of a 5 at my remote work- data geek who can work alone and with groups. I'm also a voracious reader and documentary watcher - not for competency but rather because it's fun or something I'm interested in. I also hate to be micromanaged, anticipate the future more than remaining present, seek freedom and fun in everything- worked corporate for 20 years at the same company BUT I was a "floating" assistant - someone who's shifted to a new department every 2 years. I'm definitely a 7 and it was so great hearing you all share work experiences. Thanks for this, Sarah, Kate, and Ellen :) EDIT UPDATE: So, turns out, I'm a type 2 but I do have 7 in my tritype (2-7-1) so the stuff I said is still relevant :)

Recently i discovered enneagram and i found it even more important than MBTI or any other personality typing system. enneagram tells us who we really are & what is our real core & purpose in life. I am enneagram type 5 and what you said fits me very well. Thanks for this video and all the other videos in your channel. i personally, as INTJ type 5, like type 7 people especially if you are ENFP type 7. i liked your personality and your persona.

Thank you for this! This was the best viedo on the distinction between 1s and 5s!

Great video! Crystal clear. Thanks 💜

great vid! thank you just what i was looking for

Could you maybe not have your voice be mouse quiet and then your intro music be as loud as a rock concert? Almost busted my speakers 😒 -signed an 8

4:34 very relatable

To make it simple. Strong desire to conquer and possibly reform particular selected areas in life is better fit for Type1 or Type3? Else? There is no rush in achieving goals and even long periods of wasting time is alowed but in long-term it is a must and some goals could be achievied very suddenly. Don't care about how it looks to others but like the fact that have many invisible thropies. Strong perfectionism but learned that it is better done in decent way than perfect never done.

Hi! Can I still get that pdf? ❤

funny thing how the person who typed me got my enneagram wrong. He typed me as a 7w8, but I feel more of that challenger side as a primary. This is because as someone who is currently under an intense amount of stress, I obsess over it and cannot let it go until it is dealt with. Waiting for a face to face conversation about addressing the issues is difficult for me. I do not avoid pain overall. Of course I'll do things like destress, take - or attempt to take my mind off of things for the sake of my sanity, but I'm a fighter lol

This is such a clear and useful video. Thanks so very much, from a Type 1! :)

Definitely a type 9. Thank ya! I was second guessing myself for a sec.. thinking I was a 6. I’m just an unhealthy 9.

I think i am 5w4, so all these 4 types (4,5,6,7) seems relevant & it was very useful to compare them with very good examples. Thank you.

I’m a 5w4, but this resonates so much. Thank you! Currently looking at what direction I’ll be shifting my career and came across your video while researching my personality type. My mbti is INTP.

I ended up being an 8 w9 although my top 2 largest percentage was 8 first and 1 second

Ooh, I felt this! I DID NOT want to be a 9, because they felt so "meh" (a sentiment boldly expressed by my ex-GF (a 7). The beige of enneagram types, if you will, if we assigned colours to types. I was convinced I was a 4, because I felt misunderstood and constantly questioned my identity. Plus, 4 just seemed so much more compelling. It wasn't until I sat down and properly read about all the types, that it started to sink in. 😅

Wow amazing clarification! Much appreciation! 1OVE

Im a year late to this but I am an 8w7 and I dont feel like I am very assertive unless I have to be but Im an introvert I do tend to be very guarded around people and not afraid to set firm boundaries idk if that is considered as assertive but over the years i think I have become more of an assertive introvert and sometimes I feel that I fit into the 8w9 more but idk if its more situational I can be very assertive or very passive.

When I was a child I had to achieve success academically to seek approval & love from my narcissistic caregivers. So I was narcissistic at that time with my peers achieved success for some time but failed eventually. Later on I realized that, I was selfish and unkind towards others inorder to achieve my goals. Now I resent egoistic & immoral people who want to achieve success by exploiting others. Your video was really good & helped me gain a better understanding😊.

Great video!

Competency Triad is actually types 1, 3, 5 (not four).

Thank you so much. This video was ENORMOUSLY helpful.

I would love for there to be a comparison between the counter phobic six and the type 8 because it has hardly talk about

I’m obsessed. This video is so validating! I thought I was a 6 for a few months bc I always read that their most identifying feature is being skeptical and wary of meeting new people. I’m a 9 and I’m pretty distrustful so I was confused. Everything else was on the money! Great work! ❤️

i still can't decide 😭😭

I really thought I was 8 before this video it turns out i’m 3 💀

Great contrast! I am a type one but I was initially torn between 1 and 5. This is helpful and I wish I would have had it back then 👍🏼

I'm a 9w1 INFP with a 945 tritype. I wish more counselors/coaches/psychologists used the Enneagram as a tool to help their clients.

Yeah... I'm definitely a 3 according to this. I'm super passionate about my ideals and values which comes off very 8-ish. Thanks so much for making this!

how would you describe someone who one one hand is more focus on the end result but in the other hand is also intense with feelings of anxiety and worries
