I thought we could have a little fun this week! This past summer, our Admin Team learned about each other by looking at the Enneagram and how it is used to determine our personality traits. Enneagram takes its name from the Greek words for nine (ennea) and for a drawing or figure (gram). It is a nine-pointed geometric figure (below) that illustrates the nine different but inter-connected personality types. It teaches that of the 9 types of the world we naturally gravitate to one of them and adopt it in childhood to cope and feel safe. Each number has a distinct way of seeing the world and an underlying motivation that powerfully influences how we think, feel and behave!
I have taken many personality tests, but this one takes the cake. If you have time this week, you can take a free version of the test below and see which of the 9 personality types you are. Personality Types include: 1 - Perfectionist 2 - The Helper 3. The Performer 4. The Romantic 5. The Investigator 6. The Loyalist 7. The Enthusiast 8. The Challenger 9. The Peacemaker. Types 2,3,4 are in the "feeling" triad as they are led by feelings. Types 8.9 & 1 are part of the Gut triad - expressing themselves honestly and directly at the "gut" level. Types 5,6,7 operate from their fears as they tend to think and plan carefully before they act!
If you take the test and want to learn more about your personality, please stop by! I have a great book you can borrow and some podcasts that are great to listen to. The goal of the Enneagram is to help you learn more about yourself so you can be a healthy you! It is also great to learn about each other so we can find ways to pull out our strengths. Even though all personality types are different- they are all valuable and help make the world a better place! Can't wait for you to share your personality number with me!
(I am a Type 3 - Performer) Have fun! https://enneagram.bz/en
