The Different Sides of You
May 20, 2024Myer-Briggs, DISC...when it comes to personality tests, many of us have dabbled in trying to find an accurate depiction of who we are. Let me tell you why enneagram testing is different.
We are all well-versed in knowing the things that we do, whether that's our morning routine, our coffee order, what TV show will wind us down before bedtime. The enneagram was psychologically formed to study desires, fears, and motivations so we can pull back the veil from what we do, to why we do it. Your inner-most motivations may surprise you.
I, like many others, have taken personality tests and felt they were correct in nailing down some of my surface level behaviors. It wasn’t until I heard about the enneagram that I wondered if the person who’d written the report had somehow been stalking me for several decades and perhaps THAT was how they knew so much about me. The enneagram takes things below the surface, including how we act in times of stress and in times of security.
The Different Sides of You
While other personality systems are stagnant, the enneagram shows us that we are multifaceted individuals constantly affected by the people, environments, and demands around us. Do you know who you become when your stressed? Do you how people experience you differently when you’re feeling confident and supported and how to consciously tap into that part of yourself?
The enneagram teaches us how to make movements intentionally by embracing parts of ourselves we already possess but that have become trapped behind habitual thought patterns and behaviors that aren’t serving us the way we think they are. Gaining awareness of the things we take on in times of stress and security is crucial to not only improving relationships with those around us, but our relationship with ourself. Dive deep into self discovery, reflection, and transformation with enneagram coaching.
