Typing
What’s your Enneagram type?
Finding your Enneagram type is just the beginning, the beginning of a journey that requires both reflection and action. Discovering one’s type isn’t always easy. More often than not, online tests confuse or mistype people.
A different way to do typing consultations
I’m passionate about hearing your story and asking good questions! I’ve developed a different way to do Enneagram typing consultations.
The Enneagram was meant to be used as a road map for life rather than as a tool to type people.
So am I typing you? No. I’ll teach you to type yourself!
It is important for you to be equipped to recognize your type on your own because this is your journey, your story, and your life. Type can be unlocked conversationally with thought-provoking questions, learning the nine enneagram types, and by developing increased self-awareness.
My goal is to equip you to:
1) Identify your type
2) Understand the Enneagram system (the language can be intimidating and confusing)
3) Continue to develop self-awareness
4) Understand yourself and others better
Typing through story

FAQs
If I already am sure of my Enneagram type, is this a good match for me?
Probably not, unless you simply would like someone to process with or are interested in learning more about the nine Enneagram types and other Enneagram terms (see Session 2).
Where will the consultations take place?
A local public location, such as a coffee shop.
Do the consultations (Sessions 1 and 2) happen back to back?
They should be scheduled within one to two weeks of each other.
Why do you do two separate sessions?
It’s a lot of information to take on in one sitting. Two sessions allows time to consider your responses to the questions asked in Session 1 and look for patterns throughout the week.
Why should I do a consultation vs. taking an online test?
The Enneagram is complex. It can be hard to find identify your type if you don’t have an adequate grasp on its complexity. An online test typically won’t recognize who you are as a person, nor can it engage with you conversationally. Its challenging for an online test to identify your motivations, especially if you aren’t sure of them yourself. Many factors could influence your results:
How you perceive yourself (realistic or not)
Who you wish you were
Season of life (freshly out of college, single vs. married, parent, retired, etc)
How you feel presently (stressed, hungry, tired, lonely, happy, etc.)
Your present level of self awareness
Identifying your type should come out of sharing your story and in community. Identifying your type shouldn’t stop at getting the results. The results are the first step. Type exploration and identification can be a beautiful, enlightening, and healing process when you combine them together and do it in conversation with others.
