Just in case you didn't have enough to sort out: 9 types, 9 tritype combos, three instincts and NOW a variety of ways those instincts can mix and match with all of the above.

Season 3: Mini season on Instincts. Social, Sexual, Self-Preservation. Three OTHER lenses on the world that kind of change everything.

We heard from enough of you to know that difference between a good Christmas and a terrible Christmas is the boundaries we set as 8’s. It’s counter intuitive to think 8’s don’t have good boundaries but our big hearts often get in the way…

No better way to wrap up our season on Tritype than with an interview with Katherine Fauvre herself.

Casey is go go go. When she's not running triathlons or travelling, she's advocating for students and staff as a school counselor. Listening to this podcast will give you a clear picture of the unmatched energy behind the "Mover and Shaker" Tritype.

Stacie. Tritype 836. She loves a good debate, and has the chops for it, but when it comes to expressing something simple like "that hurt my feelings," she'd rather throw up.

Amanda. Tritype 864. "I go into every situation with a level of distrust. You have to earn that trust. I don’t second guess myself, but I second guess everyone else. I’m not in the group, just observing. I’ve always longed to be part of the group, but never felt part of it. And then I get cynical as to why and I go down that rabbit hole and it’s depressing."

Celeste. Tritype 847. We wake up every morning dazzled by the day. No such thing as being bored with an 847. Between the 8s drive to do and keep moving, the 4s contentment splashing around in the deep depths of our thoughts and emotions all day long, and the 7s playful restlessness and eagerness to jump at every opportunity that presents itself, we are truly some of the most carpe diem individuals on earth.

Celeste. Tritype 847. Celeste is the last 847 interview that we will be doing this season. as I had expected she had so many good words around what it’s like to be us. She said that one time a guy she knew told her that she was a "non-joiner." 8s with that kind of lone, introspective 4 tacked on— we’re in the group but that doesn’t mean we’ve actually joined it. She also says we have no tolerance for cognitive dissonance, if it doesn’t make sense and it doesn’t fit we’re not going to smile and pretend that it does. We're grateful we can access 7. We wake up every morning absolutely dazzled by the day. There’s no such thing as being bored for an 847. We’ve got to be some of the most carpe diem individuals on Earth.

Chelsea. Tritype 853. Venus fly trap, the ultimate predator, whale-whisperer… The are all terms that can be used for Chelsea, and I’m pretty confident they can be applied to all 835s. Chelsea‘s friends joke that she has a way of Shamuing them— training behaviour to get the outcome she wants. Between the magnetism of the 8, the adaptable shininess of the 3, and the wealth of data points that come from five as they observe other people, these 8s draw in whoever they want to draw in (and steer clear of whoever they want to steer clear of.) All the skills they have at their disposal they use to assess who they want to come closer and who they want to keep at a distance. They are extremely effective at it. And while it sounds a little scary and manipulative we know what’s at the heart of an 8. It’s about feeling free, independent, like we’re steering our own ship. This is really about these 8s wanting to be safe. Postscript for your episode: “I know this is not for a grade, but the overanalyzing, overachieving part of me wants to let you know what I decided I want 8s to know-I read a quote once saying “I suppose a fire that burns that bright is not meant to last.” I think (especially with an 8-3-+ tritype) we tend to go pretty hard, nonstop, and it’s okay to slow down, it’s okay to take care of yourself. That’s what I would say ❤️‍🔥"
