LIFE

Hey girl, what's your type? Your Enneagram type, that is! If you've scrolled through Instagram lately, you've probs come across some Enneagram content on your feed and thought "Ennea-what?" The Enneagram is a system that's used to describe people's personailties. It's based in psychology and really gets to bottom of why we are the way we are. There are nine Enneagram types, and they're all special in their own way! Not sure what your type is? Keep reading and see which one sounds most like you!

Type 1 - The Reformer

Has anyone ever told you that you're "Type A"? Well, look out—you might be a Type One, too! You make sure your i's are dotted and your t's are crossed. Every Ennegram type has a "core desire", and for Ones, it's being right or being good. Ones are often perfectionists— they hate being wrong, and sometimes they can be a little critical (even of themselves)! 

Type 2 - The Helper

Twos are some of the kindest people you'll ever meet! They love to take care of the people in their lives and they are always willing to lend a helping hand. But they can sometimes get so caught up in being there for others that they forget to take care of themselves. Twos want to be loved and needed by their friends and family, so they do everything they can to show love to everyone they meet.

Type 3 - The Achiever 

If you're in a competition with a Three, watch out. If there's one thing that Threes crave, it's success. They are some of the most hardworking, determined people out there. They want to be admired and seen in the best light possible, and they'll do almost anything to acheive that. They can sometimes be seen as shallow, but deep down they just want to be the best that they can be!

Type 4 - The Individualist

If you're a Four, we bet you've cried at a sad movie or two. Fours are known for being very sensitive, emotional people, and they aren't afraid to get in touch with their feelings. Unique and unconventional, these are often the trendsetters of your friend group. Fours want to be authentic in everything that they do and never want to blend into the crowd. They're also super creative and have no problem at all doing their own thing!

Type 5 - The Investigator

Ever met someone who seems to have the answer to everything? Chances are, they're probably a Five. Type Fives love to learn about and understand the world around them. While they can be quiet and reserved at times, don't be fooled—they're always thinking and their brains are ususally moving a mile a minute. They can be a little withdrawn sometimes, but they're super chill and give the *best* advice. If you've got a problem to solve, you can bet that your Type Five friends will find a solution.

Type 6 - The Loyalist

If you're a Six, you're probably the "mom" of your friend group. Sixes are always prepared for anything that can go wrong, and they're super responsible and loyal to the people they love. Their goal is to be safe and secure at all times, but their anxiousness can sometimes get in the way of them letting go and enjoying life. If this sounds like you, take a breath, bb. Everything's gonna be just fine. 

Type 7 - The Enthusiast

Negativity has left the chat. To a Seven, optimism is everything! These are the fun-loving world travelers and energetic risk-takers. Sevens have a constant need to be satisfied and content, so they're always up for an adventure! They may seem a little impulsive, but they are the best people to be around when you need a friend to cheer you up. Sevens are truly the spice of life!

Type 8 - The Challenger

You know what you want, and you know how to get it. If you're a Type Eight, you're a natural leader, and you probably *love* to be in charge. Eights are strong and confident. They do *not* vibe with being bossed around and definitely don't stand for anything that seems unfair. However, as tough as they are, they do have a soft side. Eights may take a while to win over, but they are fierce protectors of the people they love. If you can see past their boldness and sometimes short tempers, you'll always be glad to have an Eight on your side. 

Type 9 - The Peacemaker

If you're a Nine, you've probably read through this post more than once to try to decide what type you are! Nines are the mediators of the world and they have a talent for seeing things from all sides. This can make them a little indecisive, though! Nines want more than anything to just keep the peace, and they avoid conflict at all costs. This can make them seem like pushovers, but really, they just have perspective and know how to stay zen.
