In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita, Seth "Creek" Creekmore and Lee Fields recap last week’s episode with Christian McClain. María José and Lee share their hypotheses from their initial listen of the episode, and Mario provides a more in-depth look into his thought process in determining Christian’s Enneagram type.

“Expect that there will be confirmation bias. Expect that you’re looking for both of these components and they might be in conflict with one another, and so hold room in your mind that you’re not precisely sure what you’re seeing until you have disconfirming confirmation.” -Lee [13:42]

“Treat it as entertainment that you can learn some skills from and understand a little bit more about how the game is played.” -Creek [16:16]

“Look, you just have to master the fundamentals of this. You have to understand what these instinctual biases are really all about, and what these strategies are really all about, and what really happens related to the connecting points. Not what we read about in the books.” -Mario [25:50]

“In my mind, I need to pay attention to the things that are being said and not get trapped into my initial hypothesis.” -María José [32:37]
