You’re just our type (even if you don’t know your type) Today is part 1 of 2 on mistyping aka how do you type yourself? This episode is pretty general on typing, we start diving into specific types towards the end (around 1:05 mark). The next episode will be on common mistypes and questions. In this episode we cover: - An overview of the 3 centres of intelligence and how to use them as a guide - How to NOT type yourself - Why running into a fire doesn’t mean you’re an 8 - HONESTY VS. LYING when typing - Two good (classic) books for beginners; Personality Types: Using the Enneagram for Self-Discovery and The Wisdom of the Enneagram - Creating a safe space for others to discover their type and finding safe spaces to discover more about your type (around the 1-hour mark) - A message board poster thinks they might be a 5, 9, 2 or a 1 - We get HEATED like you get HEATED comparing common traits in the aggressive types 3, 7, 8 (revisiting R Kelly, Trump, Cardi B and a new case study of a 3; Rachel Dolezal) Resources

In this wildcard episode we talk about: - The Surviving R Kelly documentary - Billy McFarland and the trashfire that is the Fyre Festival - The Fyre Fraud documentary on Netflix and the Fyre documentary on Hulu We explore how deeply neurotic Billy McFarland and R Kelly are and try to make sense of their predatorial and exploitative behaviour with the Enneagram. SPOILER ALERT we mostly talk about neurotic 7 behaviours and a little bit about neurotic 3 behaviours. The main resource we used for this episode is Claudio Naranjo, Character and Neurosis: An Integrative View and our own brains and life experience. This isn’t a scholarly article it’s a banter podcast. *We talk about some pretty heavy themes in this episode so if you’ve experienced trauma this is a trigger warning.
