The Enneagram Edge with Host Tracy O’Malley

Enneagram 7s are innovators. These Enthusiastic Visionaries believe that anything is possible, and they want to explore all of their options.

So, it follows that 7s have a passion for gluttony. But the way that gluttony is expressed differs by subtype.

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I describe the three subtypes of the Enneagram 7, explaining how self-preservation 7s find security through the gluttonous search for satisfying opportunities.

I explore the unbridled optimism that makes one-on-one7s seem naïve, discussing how they channel their gluttony into an idealistic search for transcendent experiences.

Listen in to understand why social 7s are mistyped as Enneagram 2s and learn how they act against their gluttony (and avoid their own difficult feelings) by being of service to others.

Enneagram 6s, often known as the Loyal Skeptics, are constantly searching for certainty and security in an unpredictable world.

6s are good friends, intuitive, and trustworthy. But they can also be quite fearful and doubtful.

On this episode of the Leadership Formula, I walk you through the three subtypes of the Enneagram 6, describing why self-preservation 6s are extremely relationship-driven and have the reputation of being the “warmest” 6.

I explain how the one-on-one 6s are the counter-type 6 and use their strong character to run towards fear and danger.

Listen in to understand why social 6s love to follow rules, determine how others should conduct themselves, and are often very self-critical.

Known as the Investigator or Quiet Specialist, Enneagram 5s want to be competent and capable. And when they commit to learning about something, they quickly become experts in the field.

5's also have a passion for avarice, meaning they’re compelled to hold onto what little time, energy and resources they believe they have. But the three subtypes of the Enneagram 5 have very different ways of expressing this passion.

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I walk you through the three subtypes of the Enneagram 5, explaining how self-preservation 5s set clear boundaries to protect their privacy and personal space.

I describe how one-on-one 5s express their avarice by seeking the ideal partner, discussing why they’re often mistyped as Enneagram 4s and how they hold others to a high standard to avoid intimacy.

Listen in for insight around the social 5’s adherence to super-ideals and the challenge they face connecting with others in everyday life.

The Enneagram 4 is the least common type and oftentimes, mistyped. I can’t tell you how many people I have seen typed as a 2, 3, or even a 7, just for me to look into their subtypes and tell them they’re a 4.

So why is it so hard to determine your true Enneagram type? It all goes back to the subtypes.

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I continue the subtype series, this time with a focus on Enneagram 4. I dive into the subtypes of 4s and explain why knowing your subtypes is the key to unlocking more about yourself and your meaning in life.

I share the differences in each Enneagram 4 subtype including why self-preservation 4s want to be praised for being tough, why social 4s are so emotionally sensitive, and why one-on-one 4s are so vocal and intense about their needs.

Listen in to learn more about why so many 4s get mistyped as 3s, why 4 is the least common type in the Enneagram, and how each subtype typically shows up in 4s.

What You Will Learn

How the instinctual subtypes throw an even bigger curveball at the Enneagram 4, which is already the least common type
Why Enneagram 4s have a motivational need to express their uniqueness and be authentic
Why it is very common for 4s to get mistyped as something else
The importance of recognizing your subtype to unlock the nuances of your Enneagram type
Why the self-preservation 4s want to be praised for being tough and not complaining, even though they are often quite sensitive
Why Tracy sees many 4s mistyped as 3s, especially in women
Why the one-on-one 4 is intense and vocal about their needs
The social 4 and how they are emotionally sensitive and have a deep connection to their suffering

When we think of Enneagram 3, we often think of confidence, ambition, and maybe even aggression.

By now in this series, we know that the three subtypes within each Enneagram type will dramatically change the way that person presents both publicly and privately, but what does that mean for the 3s specifically?

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I continue the conversation around subtypes within each Enneagram type, this time, with the 3s.

I discuss why social 3s are the most true to the stereotypes of Enneagram 3s, why the self-preservation 3 is a counter-type within the 3s, and why Enneagram 2s and 3s often get mistyped as each other if they fall into the one-on-one subtype.

Listen in to understand the nuances of each subtype and why having a deep understanding of your subtype is vital to your personal growth.

What You Will Learn

Biological survival drives: self preservation, social, and one-to-one bonding (nuances of each subtype)
Why it is vitally important to understand your subtype within your Enneagram type
How the subtypes can change our core motives and fears are expressed
How understanding you subtype can lead to extreme personal growth
The self preservation 3 is a counter type within the 3s
Why self-preservation 3s don’t want to be seen as image-oriented but value being recognized for their hard work and accomplishments
Why a lot of Enneagram 2s and 3s with the one-on-one subtype get mistyped as each other
How social 3s are motivated by prestige and fit the most common stereotype of the Enneagram 3
Why the social 3 is the most competitive out of all Enneagram types and subtypes
Why women oftentimes get mistyped as 8s when they are actually 3s

Enneagram 2s want to be loved by you. Driven by a desire to be needed and appreciated, the Considerate Helper is empathetic, generous and self-sacrificing.

But the individual 2’s instinctual subtype has a big influence on how their desire to feel loved shows up in the world.

So, how do self-preservation, one-on-one and social 2s gain approval differently? And why are they often mistyped as a different Enneagram number entirely?

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I discuss the three subtypes of the Enneagram 2, explaining how self-preservation 2s gain approval by being charming and youthful and why this instinctual response serves as the countertype.

I explain how one-on-one 2s focus their energy on building strong intimate relationships and why they’re often mistyped as Enneagram 4s.

Listen in to understand why social 2s are frequently mistyped as 3s and learn how they use their influence to engage communities and groups.

What You Will Learn

An overview of the 3 instinctual subtypes—self-preservation, one-on-one and social
How self-preservation 2s gain approval by being charming and youthful
What makes self-preservation 2s the countertype (and why they’re often mistyped as 6s or 7s)
Why self-preservation 2s want to be taken care of but resist being dependent on others
How one-on-one 2s gain approval by being generous and attractive
Why one-on-one 2s focus their energy on building strong intimate relationships
Why one-on-one 2s are often mistyped as Enneagram 4s
How social 2s seek to gain approval by being powerful, competent and influential
Why social 2s are often mistyped as Enneagram 3s or 8s

I like to call Enneagram 1s the ‘sheriff in town.’ Driven by a need to be good, these Reformers or Perfectionists have a strong sense of right and wrong and are prone to black and white thinking.

But the Enneagram 1s instinctual subtype drastically changes the way their 1-ness is expressed.

So, what differentiates a self-preservation Enneagram 1 from a one-on-one or social 1? And how does understanding the subtypes help us lead the 1s in our lives more effectively?

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I walk you through the three subtypes of the Enneagram 1, explaining why self-preservation 1s are true perfectionists with a strong inner critic and heightened sense of responsibility.

I discuss why one-on-one 1s feel entitled to reform people to their way of doing things, describing how their outgoing anger differentiates them from other Enneagram 1s.

Listen in to understand how social 1s focus energy on working toward the shared purpose of a group and learn what skills make social Enneagram 1s role models for living our beliefs and values.

What You Will Learn

Why self-preservation 1s have a strong inner critic and heightened sense of responsibility
How a self-preservation instinct makes the Enneagram 1 a true perfectionist
Why one-on-one Enneagram 1s feel entitled to reform people to their ‘right’ way of doing things

Influencing and leadership seem like the same thing, right? Well… not exactly. You have to influence to be a leader. But to be an influencer, it’s not always necessary to lead.

The truth is that both of these roles are much different than we often think. The term “influencer” can make me cringe, but it doesn’t just mean selling products to your followers on social media.

On the flip side, leading can seem strong and noble, but it isn’t always about being in charge of others.

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I discuss the differences and similarities between influence and leadership to show how even though they are often seen as interchangeable, there are very important differences between them and how they affect our lives.

Listen in to understand the courage it takes to be an influencer, the importance of being able to lead yourself, and how different Enneagram types can use their strengths to lean into themselves as both creative influencers and strong leaders.

What You Will Learn

The difference between being a leader and being an influencer
How my Enneagram type shapes my leadership and influencing style
How leadership empowers people to do the work themselves to create a positive future
The difficulties navigating the attention and significance often associated with being an influencer
How certain Enneagram types tend to thrive as leaders, influencers, or both
How being able to lead yourself translates into successfully leading others

Did you take the Enneagram test but feel like your results don’t ring true? It might be because you haven’t identified your instinctual subtype.

65 to 75 percent of people get mistyped by their Enneagram results. This is because artificial intelligence cannot account for all the twists and turns in the human psyche, and it can miss a crucial detail: The three subtypes. The instinctual parts of who we are.

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I discuss the secrets to identifying these subtypes, describing how to unlock the nuances of our personalities and why it is so important to pair an instinctual subtype with your Enneagram result.

Most of us have a combination of all three subtypes, but there will be a specific one that influences us more than the others. Listen in as I walk through the different instinctual subtypes, explaining how to determine which one is the most true to you and what that means for your Enneagram result interpretation.

What You Will Learn

Why 65-70 percent of people get mistyped on the Enneagram
The different instinctual subtypes within the Enneagram
What questions you can ask yourself to determine your subtype and why you should care about which one you are
Real-life examples of how analyzing your subtype along with your Enneagram result can help you grow as a person and professional
How to use your subtype to have greater insight into your own life and relationship with others
How your subtype can trigger your fight or flight
Ways to ensure you’re not mistyped in the Enneagram
