Everyone has heard of the Myers Briggs personality type indicator and I'm sure most of you have heard of Jungian psychology. (+Jungian typology) But what about The Enneagram? It is another system of personality typing that helps understand how people interpret the world and their emotions. It describes nine personality types based on their core beliefs, desires and fears. What's different about the Enneagram is that you and only you can figure out what type you are. Because the Enneagram is based on motivations and not behaviors, it allows you to discover parts of yourself that you may not have known (or wanted to admit) existed. On Blooming Beyond Borders, the focus is on personal growth, so I'm always looking for interesting topics that challenge us and help us grow; the Enneagram is by far one of the most useful tools for doing just that.

Join me and my dear friends Esther Duncan and Turiya Warman in discussing all of the Enneagram basics you'll need to understand in order to start your self discovery journey.

In this episode, we go through some general questions people may have about this personality typing system. How does it work? How do we become our personality types, and can they change over time? Turiya and Esther also go into each personality type (6-9 on this part TWO) so that you have a better understanding of all 9 types' core fears, desires, traits, and more. Let's get blooming with the Enneagram!
