Identifying the Enneagram Type we lead with is often a journey of self-discovery. While online assessments can point us in the right direction, they are not precise instruments.

A more reliable process for discovering and clarifying your Enneagram Type is the Enneagram Type Discovery Interview—often called a Typing Interview. Facilitated by a trained Enneagram teacher or practitioner, the Typing Interview creates space to explore your core motivations, fears, and internal biases at a deeper level than online tests.

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend, Tom Wells, and guide him through the Typing Interview process. You'll get an inside look at what a Typing Interview is like and why it's so important to move beyond surface behaviors to uncover the motivations that drive our Enneagram Type.

As you listen, you may gain fresh insight into the Enneagram Type you lead with—and perhaps decide that a Typing Interview would be a valuable next step in your own Enneagram journey.
