The Enneagram Made Easy
The Enneagram Made Easy: Discover the 9 Types of People | Elizabeth Wagele, Renee Baron
10 posts | 12 read | 12 to read
The first easyand funguide to the Enneagram, the fascinating and revealing method of understanding personality types, for the beginner, the expert, and everyone in between. This witty and informative guide demystifies the ancient Enneagram system with cartoons, exercises, and personality tests that reveal our motivations and desires and show how to put that knowledge to use in our everyday lives. The 9 Types of People: The Perfectionist: Motivated by the need to live life the right way, improve oneself and others, and avoid anger. The Helper: Motivated by the need to be loved and appreciated and to express your positive feelings towards others. The Achiever: Motivated by the need to be productive, to achieve success, and to avoid failure. The Romantic: Motivated by the need to understand your feelings and to be understood to search for the meaning of life, and to avoid being ordinary. The Observer: Motivated by the need to know everything and understand the universe, to be self-sufficient and left alone, and to avoid not having the answer or looking foolish. The Questioner: Motivated by the need for security, to feel taken care of, or to confront your fears. The Adventurer: Motivated by the need to be happy and plan fun things, to contribute to the world, and to avoid suffering and pain. The Asserter: Motivated by the need to be self-reliant and strong, to make an impact on the world, and to avoid being weak. The Peacemaker: Motivated by the need to keep the peace, merge with others, and avoid conflict.

4/5🌟
Super quick read and really interesting and fun. Helps you quickly figure out which personality type you are and lays the basic foundation for the enneagram. However, I‘m still unsure which type I am, but that may be BECAUSE of the type I am. 😂 I‘ve at least eliminated 5 out of the 9 types.

I‘m a bit obsessed with the Ennneagram at the moment. Here is my current stack and I just bought another one at the local indie! I‘m a 9, through and through. Do any of you know your enneagram number?

RiotMom I do! I‘m a six. We were just talking about this in my girl gang group chat. I‘m less familiar with this one than I am with the MBTI, but it‘s always fascinating to me! 6y
Quasifesto Admittedly, I place no stock in these “tests” but always read my fortune cookie, regardless. I‘m a 5. 6y
Bklover I know mine! I‘m a 5! My son in law has the bottom book in your stack and we talk enneagram frequently. 6y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I think this book is great for people who want a straight forward approach to learning about the enneagram. I especially liked that there is a whole chapter that correlates how the MBTI cognitive functions and types relate to the 9 types here.

And the reveal...
Basically I‘m a 4 with a 5 wing who wishes they were a 9 🤣 #29by29

laurieluna This sounds fascinating! 6y

Was philandering between books because I couldn‘t decide so I decided to open this one. It‘s kind of embarrassing to be a millennial and not know you‘re enneagram number/wing. 😬 So hopefully I‘ll be back with the catharsis shortly. 😂👩🏻‍🔬 #29by29

LaLecture So apparently I ought to be embarrassed as I‘ve got no clue what on earth that is 😂. 6y
xicanti I'm also not sure what enneagrams are, but I'm on the very cusp of the millennial spectrum so maybe that explains it. 6y
EllieDottie I'm having a really hard time figuring out what my enneagram is!! So you are not alone! 6y

MatchlessMarie @LaLecture @xicanti It goes back hundreds of years. I guess my circle of friends is just more enneagram savvy? 😜It‘s basically a way to categorize 9 basic personalities and their motivations/fears. @EllieDottie I‘m not quite done yet, but I think I am leaning towards 4w5 . Fascinating stuff. I really like how straight forward this book is. 6y
Caterina @LaLecture @xicanti @MatchlessMarie I'm 23 and I only know about the enneagram because my dad (53) is super into it. I've never met anyone my own age who knows what it is! I think Myers-Briggs is still the dominant personality test culturally, although I think the enneagram is better! (Side note: I'm a 1w2) 6y
MatchlessMarie @Caterina That‘s so interesting! Could be more of a thing among my social justice/activist/theological misfit friends. I got plenty of those. 😜 6y
LaLecture @Caterina Yep, I know Myers-Briggs, although I keep forgetting which type I am :D. But as a psychology student I‘ve grown deeply suspicious of tests anyway :D. They basically thought us at uni to question every testing concept. I‘ve got a personality psychology course at university at the moment and I‘m curious if we‘re gonna talk about these tests too ^^. 6y
Caterina @MatchlessMarie Sounds like a great group of friends to have! 😊 6y
Caterina @LaLecture Oh, certainly be deeply suspicious! Personality tests should be used with a lot of caution. My personality unit in psych had an entire section about how they're all unscientific nonsense, focusing on Myers-Briggs and calling it as bad as Facebook quizzes to find out what Disney princess you are. 😂 6y
LaLecture @Caterina That‘s funny :D. My industrial and organisational psychology prof said something similar about tests designed to tell you which job you‘re suitable for. He said the results were as useful as knowing that you have the same personality as Princess Leia 😂😂. 6y
MatchlessMarie @LaLecture @Caterina Yeah I never did the tests. Took me forever to figure out my MBTI because I just read up on the cognitive functions and did it that way. That‘s why I would rather get a book on enneagram than a test. It‘s actually a pretty neat tool to help you understand why you are how u are 😅 6y
LaLecture @MatchlessMarie I also imagine a book to be more informative than a test. It helps you to understand things and doesn‘t just tell you “That‘s how it is, deal with it!”. 6y

I started out with a mountain, but I did a little math and narrowed it down to these 9 must reads for #29by29 but I have several books-in-progress on standby 😜 #tentativeTBR

This is a really interesting and spot on book about personality types! I've been using it to help sketch out my characters and have found it super useful. I recommend it to anyone who is curious about personality types or why people act the way they do!

Of course I came out of the library with graphic novels. But I am so excited for these Enneagram books, it's my new favorite thing ever.

BookishFeminist I love Enneagram & Myers-Briggs 👍🏼 8y
maximoffs @BookishFeminist the yellow one actually does a comparison of Myers Briggs vs Enneagram! 8y
BookishFeminist @steverogers let me know how that is that sounds fascinating! 8y

BookishFeminist @steverogers Yess!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼😘 8y
BarbaraJean Oh, I love that Parker Palmer book! Good pick! 8y
Tammygrrrl I'm a 2. 8y
maximoffs @BarbaraJean it was recommended by one of my teammates for my humanitarian trip! 8y
maximoffs @Tammygrrrl me too!!! 8y
BarbaraJean @steverogers I read it during an apprenticeship program for young leaders, and found it really helpful in clarifying my own passions and vision. There's something about Palmer's writing that's very reassuring. 8y
