In this episode, we give a clear, approachable overview of the Enneagram and the nine personality types, with a focus on the common stereotypes associated with each one. We walk through the core motivations, typical behaviors, and common stereotypes of each type—why Ones are seen as perfectionists, why Fives get labeled as withdrawn, why Sevens are known for always being on the move, and more.
This isn’t a deep dive or a typing session—it’s a big-picture look at how the Enneagram framework works and how shorthand descriptions and stereotypes develop. We’ll talk about what these labels get right, where they oversimplify, and how each type is more nuanced than the version that usually shows up online.
If you’re new to the Enneagram or just want a refresher without the fluff, this episode lays the groundwork and gives you a solid reference point for understanding all nine types.
