We’ve spent the last three podcasts in this Enneagram series going through the three triads, covering all the core 9 types. The idea is that your core type, one of the nine numbers we’ve discussed, describe your personality overall. However: it gets a bit more complex. The wing – another type – adds an important, […]
If you’ve been keeping up with this series on the Enneagram system, you’ll know about what it is, where it comes from, all the different nine personality types and the wings of each type. Unless you’re already familiar with the Enneagram, I really recommend going back and checking out the rest of the series here, […]
If you’ve been following along on this Enneagram series so far, you’ll know exactly what the heck I’m talking about and are ready for this instalment where I go through the final 3 types 8,9,1 of the Enneagram. If not, don’t worry! You’ll want to go back to the first episode in this series, which […]
If you’ve been following along on this Enneagram series so far, you’ll know exactly what the heck I’m talking about and are ready for this instalment where I go through the types 5,6,7 of the Enneagram. If not, don’t worry! You’ll want to go back to the first episode in this series, which you can […]
Last week I introduced this series which is all about the Enneagram: a system for describing nine personality types. Like I said, I see this as just one more way of learning about yourself, and it’s a fun tool to geek out on. Today we’re going to be looking at three of the nine types, […]
People are weird. Right? l don’t know about you but understanding myself is hard enough, let alone the behaviour of others. This is one of the reasons I’m a self-confessed junkie of personality type testing. If you listened to any of the Self Knowledge Series – the 10 part series that l published at the […]
The grand finale of the Self-Knowledge mini-series! To end, I’m asking you the deceptively simple question: what do you want? It’s easy to go through life without really answering this question. Of course, we can answer specifics: like what do you want to order from a restaurant. Or you can be tempted to answer through […]
Again, we’re looking to Carl G. Jung for the answers on today’s 9th + penultimate episode in the Self-Knowledge mini series. This is, naturally, going to be more of a woo-woo episode, partly because this area of psychology, in fact the entire branch of Jungian or analytic psychotherapy is grounded in theory, not hard science. […]
The concept that we all, by our nature, approach tasks and accomplishing things differently actually came as a bit of a surprise to me. l figured the kids I went to school with who left their homework till the last minute or often arrived late to class, were just… naughty. Like, they must hate school […]
I should point out that whether you’re an introvert or not, the way you are affected by your environment still varies a lot between person to person. And you might remember the episode in this series in which I described High Sensitivity – if you’re a HSP, you’ll likely be more affected by lights and […]
