108: Why you are mistyped on the Enneagram and why that is so common

With the popularity of the Enneagram comes a lot of misinformation.⁣<br />⁣<br />If you really want to use this beautiful, incredible, amazing, life-changing tool that is the Enneagram, the wrong information can defeat the purpose.⁣<br />⁣<br />⁣<br />Listen now⁣<br />⁣<br />⁣<br />If you’re not using the Enneagram the way it’s supposed to, then you may be taking yourself down a road that doesn’t serve you very well.⁣<br />⁣<br />I spend most of my days coaching and leading people to their right Enneagram type, helping them feel seen, heard, and understood.⁣<br />⁣<br />I help them discover who they are and allow others to see them for who they are.⁣<br />⁣<br />The problem with taking online assessments.⁣<br />⁣<br />Taking an online test is a great starting point, but oftentimes people take the type that’s returned to them as the holy grail.⁣<br />⁣<br />But 65-70% of the time, these assessments are inaccurate. The more people dig into the type they’ve received, the more they see a disconnect. They want to believe that it’s a great tool, but it’s not clicking.⁣<br />⁣<br />Here’s why so many people are mistyped.⁣<br />⁣<br />There is one online assessment I like better than the others, but it’s still inaccurate most of the time.⁣<br />⁣<br />For someone who’s spent countless hours with people unpacking the Enneagram and getting them on the right path, I’ve realized the value in having someone lead you through some questioning: because it’s hard to be objective with ourselves.⁣
