Pawnee's Finest, Typed | Parks & Recreation and the Enneagram

In this episode of The Enneagram in a Movie podcast, Mario Sikora, TJ Ingrassia and TJ Dawe take a break from their subtypes series to talk about the TV show, Parks and Recreation. They focus on a few notable characters, from Ron Swanson to Leslie Knope, to explore their Enneagram types based on five episodes from Seasons 3, 4 and 5. While the characters go through an evolution throughout the seven seasons, the hosts feel these episodes do a good job of illustrating the personality types.“Leopard skin is a classic tell for Transmitters. Now TJ Dawe, I’ve never seen either of you wear leopard skin that I know of, and not every Transmitter wears leopard skin, but like woodworking, it is a heavy, heavy signal of the instinctual bias.” - Mario [46:34]“I think, at large or in general, Fours are pretty rare in sitcoms, and I say this as a Four.” - TJ Dawe [1:09:58]“Earlier when I said that Parks has some legendary characters, I think Ron Swanson is at the top of that list. And over the course of those hundred-something episodes, there are many, many moments, but this episode had some of the best.” - TJ Ingrassia [32:15]TIMESTAMPS[00:03] Intro[01:24] Hosts’ thoughts on the show[03:49] Five episodes to focus on[10:31] About the show[13:32] Ron Swanson’s Enneagram Type[18:10] One of the great Preserving characters[25:13] Ron’s dynamic with Tammy[31:27] Ron is a survivalist[35:48] Chris Traeger’s Enneagram Type[40:47] Andy Dwyer is also a Type Seven[45:41] Tom Haverford’s Enneagram Type[47:38] Treat Yo Self[51:58] Tom’s Strategy[57:29] Ann Perkins’s Enneagram Type[1:02:07] Jerry’s Enneagram Type[1:06:05] April, Tammy and Ben[1:21:29] Leslie Knope’s Enneagram Type[1:29:20] Leslie’s ambition[1:38:34] Final thoughtsConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandThe Awareness to Action Enneagram PodcastMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comSubstack: mariosikora.substack.comBook: How to Think Well, and Why: The Awareness to Action Guide to Clear ThinkingTJ Dawe:Web: tjdawe.caTJ Ingrassia:Web: tjingrassia.comYouTube: @TypeCastMentioned in this episode:Awareness to Action Podcast NetworkPodcast Network
