S2 Ep30: Understanding Your Enneagram Subtype
You already know your Enneagram type. But do you know why two people with the same type can look nothing alike? The answer is your instinct — the unconscious force running beneath your type that decides what you protect, what you prioritize, and how you show up when things fall apart. This week Jen unpacks the three instincts — self-preservation, social, and sexual (or one-on-one) — and how each one colors your Enneagram type in a completely different shade. She walks through all nine types under each instinct, calling out the "countertypes" where the instinct actually pulls a type's behavior in an unexpected direction. Jen also gets personal, sharing her own subtype and what it's taught her about a lifelong pattern she's still working to understand. This episode builds the foundation for everything that comes next in the August Enneagram series, including a future deep dive into all 27 subtypes.
