104: Why You are Mistyped on the Enneagram & How to Use Your Wings

Did you know people are mistyped 65-70% of the time?⁣<br />⁣<br />The type that’s returned to you after those online assessments are oftentimes inaccurate.⁣<br />⁣<br />⁣<br />Listen now⁣<br />⁣<br />⁣<br />Why are they incorrect?⁣<br />⁣<br />Because we answer based on behaviors, not motives, and because we’ve experienced lots of trauma and therefore have compensatory strategies that come up.⁣<br />⁣<br />The Wings of the Enneagram are the numbers on the sides of our main type.⁣<br />⁣<br />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.⁣<br />⁣<br />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.⁣<br />⁣<br />The healthier you get, the more easily you can toggle between both Wings.⁣<br />⁣<br />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.⁣<br />⁣<br />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.⁣
