Finding Your Enneagram Type: What to Expect in an Enneagram Typing Session
Lynn
by Lynn Roulo
1y ago
One of the key tenets of the Enneagram is the idea of self-typing. This means that even as an Enneagram expert, I can’t tell you your type. You need to identify yourself. Self-typing is an important and foundational aspect of the system because  your Enneagram type describes a habit of attention and core motivation. I can observe your behavior and give my opinion about what occupies your attention but only you know what motivates you. You are the only person who truly knows what goes on inside your head. That said, we all have blind spots in our personality and ways we misunderstand ourse ..read more

Not Sure If You are a Type 1 or Type 6? Ask Yourself These Four Questions
Lynn
by Lynn Roulo
2y ago
One of the most common mistakes people make when trying to find their Enneagram type is that they over-identify with a single specific trait. For example, someone who over-identifies with anger might assume they are an Enneagram type 8, another with anxiety assumes they are a Type 6, while someone who identifies with helpfulness assumes they are a Type 2.   It is worth remembering that to be an Enneagram type you are “most of the things, most of the time,” and as human beings, we are complex individuals. It isn’t a single trait that makes you an Enneagram type but rather a full personalit ..read more

Lynn

The Enneagram Type 4 Individualist and Type 7 Enthusiast can seem like oil and water and with dramatically different habits of attention, it can be easy to assume they never get mixed up.   Types 7s look to the positive, seek new experiences, and avoid (either consciously or subconsciously) negative emotions. An assertive personality, Type 7s consider personal freedom a core value.   In contrast, Type 4s feel the full range of emotions intensely, have a sense that something is always missing, and are a withdrawn type that value authenticity. They like to keep it real and if that ..read more

Hiking Mount Olympus: A Practical Guide
Lynn
by Lynn Roulo
2y ago
Earlier this month, I hiked to the top of Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece. This post is to share my experience and to offer some tips in case you too are thinking of making this trek.   I’ll start by saying the experience was amazing–far more fulfilling and fun that I even expected.  And then I’ll follow by saying it was WAY physically harder than I imagined. Most of the things I read suggested it was a leisurely two-day hike with an easy overnight stay in a mountain refuge. This wasn’t false but it wasn’t exactly true either. I didn’t factor in how taxing hiking uphill ..read more

The Enneagram Type 9 is called the Peacemaker or the Mediator, and with a habit of attention that gravitates towards harmony, these are often the people who hold society together and help the rest of us get along.
