E66: Enneagram Subtypes & Tri-Type: How They Shape Relationships, Mistypes, and Everyday Life


Listen Later

Hosts Tannah and Holly open with parenting and everyday-life humor, then introduce their podcast Enneagram Adventure and clarify that the Enneagram measures core motivation, not behavior. They revisit two Enneagram constructs: subtypes (how you live your type) and tri-type (your highest alignment in the head, heart, and gut centers—“thinks like, feels like, acts like”). Tannah shares her experience as a social subtype 2 and addresses the misconception that “social” means extroverted, while Holly explains being a one-to-one subtype 5 (a countertype) and how one-to-one intensity can affect relationships and mistyping. They discuss self-preservation traits, including safety-seeking and “what-if” spirals, and note how subtype can create more relationship conflict than type. They close with tri-type examples (including spouses) and a story about helping Tannah’s son with reading, confidence, and possible ADHD/three energy.
