EP324: How Your Instinct of Your Enneagram Type Shape, Show and Shine Your Personality

The Enneagram is a powerful psychological system that describes the unique ways people think, feel, and act in the world based on their core beliefs, fears, motivations, passions, vices, and tendencies.But there's so much more to the Enneagram as a tool for personal growth.And what I’m going to talk about on this episode might just blow your mind.It may also shed light on why the Enneagram hasn't quite clicked with you—YET—as this is one of the reasons why online assessments can often mistype people.So, if you're someone who hasn't connected with the Enneagram, this could be why!You see, in addition to our core type and wings, we also have three subtypes or instincts (self-preservation, one-on-one, and social) that shape how the core fear and motive of our Enneagram type gets expressed.And each Enneagram type's vice can show up differently depending on your dominant subtype with each subtype having its own unique path from vice to the virtue.Understanding these instincts can help you better understand your decision-making processes and why you act and react the way you do in different situations. So, how can you use the subtypes to deepen your self-awareness for more growth and purpose?Today, on “Lead with the Enneagram” I’ll share how knowing your subtype can support your personal growth by helping you understand how the vices of your Enneagram type show up based on your instinctual subtype.I’ll walk you through the three different subtypes and how they impact our behaviors and interactions with others. Plus, how understanding your subtype can lead to healing past wounds and transforming negative patterns.Listen in as I share the importance of integrating all three subtypes for more self-awareness, improved relationships, and spiritual development.Getting accurately typed is crucial when using the Enneagram for personal growth. With the right understanding of your Enneagram type, instinctual subtype, and wings, you can accelerate your transformation at a Mach 10 speed. If you're looking to take your personal growth to the next level, I offer Enneagram blueprints and 90-minute one-on-one sessions to help people understand and integrate their Enneagram types and subtypes.
