Typology

The Challenger or The Perfectionist? Part 1 of 2 with Kirsten Powers [S02-025]


Listen Later

Let's face it…there's a deep complexity to the Enneagram. Yes, for some, it is extremely easy to nail down their type. But for others…well, it's more complicated. Why? First, everyone exhibits behaviors that look like a particular type. And to make it even more difficult, there are an infinite number of expressions of each type, some of which will look nothing like you on the exterior, but are still a unique variation of that particular type.

However, we can't determine our type by our behaviors. We really have to dig down into what's driving those behaviors and ask ourselves what is the underlying motivation behind my behavior?

When our guest, author and CNN political analyst, Kirsten Powers, reached out about her uncertainty in typing herself as a One or an Eight, we had to help her land on something.

Kirsten Powers currently writes for USA today, and is an on-air political analyst at CNN. She appears regularly on Anderson Cooper 360, CNN tonight with Don Lemon, and The Lead with Jake Tapper. Before joining CNN, Kirsten worked at Fox News as a political analyst and contributor, where she appeared regularly with Special Report with Bret Baier, Fox News Sunday, the Kelly File, the O'Reilly Factor.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • Ways to recognize subtle nuances between Type One and Type Eight
  • How the drive for justice plays out as Type One vs. Type Eight
  • The relational and professional similarities among Type One and Type Eight

And don't miss next week's episode as we dive into some finer distinctions of the One and Eight.
