You may be wondering, what is an Enneagram? The Enneagram is a system made up of nine personality types combining traditional wisdom with modern psychology while also supporting self-awareness, good decision making, and continual learning which is vital for success.
Right now, the enneagram test is widely popular. I first heard about it around this time last year, but I did not really pay any attention to it and barely gave a thought about it after I saw it that one time. A couple of the people I follow on Instagram would refer to it when talking about their self and after a while I started to do a little research on what exactly is it because I was tired of being out of the “loop,” I guess you could say. Anyways, to make a long story short I took one of the enneagram tests (there are multiple versions you can take) at the end of May to see what my type would be.
I ended up being a Type 6: which is a Loyalist, loyalist are responsible, trustworthy, and value loyalty to family, friends, groups, and causes. The personality of a loyalist range broadly from reserved and timid to- outspoken and confrontative.
How to Get Along with Me or any Type 6-
Be direct and clear
Listen carefully
Laugh and make jokes
Gently push the person toward new experiences
The list goes on..
After reading that I felt so called out because hey that’s me down to the T. If you get into the wings of the enneagram, I am actually a 5 and a 7. Along with being a 6 I also matched as a Type 4 (individualist) and a Type 7 (enthusiast) but I identified more with the Type 6. Honestly, it’s been helping me learn a lot about myself. It’s such a great tool and I think everyone should take a test to see what their personality is, the one I took is highlighted below!
If you have already taken the enneagram test comment your type below. Or if you have any questions you can email me or comment below also.
