EnneaTalk Tuesday: The Reasons you Might Be Identifying as the Wrong Enneagram Type Welcome to another episode of EnneaTalk Tuesday! This week I cover the top 5 reasons you may be mistyped and how this can impact and inhibit your journey to growth and transformation. Listen to this week’s episode to see how you can identify if you have the wrong Enneagram number, why you might be identifying as the wrong type, and how to move forward and focus on discovering and implementing your true roadmap back to yourself. Using the Enneagram CorrectlyHave you taken an online Enneagram test and are frustrated that you are not seeing growth and results that you want? More than 50% of people who take the Enneagram test are mistyped. It’s important to know that while the Enneagram is one of the most important internal tools to self-discovery, if you are typed incorrectly, it can actually inhibit your journey: Without the right instruction manual, tools become useless. How Can You Be Mistyped?I use this episode to go over the five different reasons you may have identified as the wrong number and use my own type as an example for describing how subtypes can actually cause you to think you are something else. It is crucial to be open and willing, to not rush your own discovery process and explore further to ensure your type is accurate. The more willing you are for change, the more able you are to find the right number and begin the transformation you seek.
