What’s Your Number?

I was listening to a podcast recently – Good Talk with Pete and Jordyn Wilson in case you’re interested – and they did a three part series on Enneagrams! I’ve heard of them before, in fact I think I took a test not too long before listening, but forgot all about it.

I find these tests challenging. Am I answering as to how I think I am? How I want to be? What if it makes no sense at all?

So I quickly took the test and found out I was a 1. Which evidently was what I turned out to be when I took it previously. I did some reading on it and – what a revelation! The Teacher – The Activist – The Crusader – The Moralist – The Perfectionist – The Organizer. ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️ and ✔️

I also read about Wings (9 and 2) and how when a 1 is in growth they go to a 7 and in time of stress they go to a 4. I thought it was pretty interesting that my husband is a 7 and in times of stress he goes to a 1! I always said we were so compatible because we balance each other out!

I’ve always been interested in why I think and feel the way I do. Is it because I have an identical twin? I used to think it was because I wanted to be the best I could be – and now I see that’s clearly my Type 1 talking!

I’ll share as I learn….let me know in the comments your type if you’ve taken the test and what you think about it all!
