This one didn't send out yesterday, oops: At their highest expression, Type 4s embody authenticity, the courage to be who they are without pretense. They are often deeply attuned to their inner world, finding meaning, beauty, and significance in experiences that others might overlook. Their gift is not simply feeling deeply, but allowing those feelings to reveal something true about the human experience. Reflection: Where am I searching for significance when life may already be expressing itself through me?

Type Twos often seek love through connection, support, and care for others. But sometimes that desire for connection can lose sight of where you end and another begins. True love does not require becoming someone else or abandoning yourself. It allows for both connection and individuality. Reflection: Where in your life might you be giving up a piece of yourself in order to feel loved or needed? Notice how a 1 on 1 instict layered on type two can magnify some of the traits of type 2.

Update: I've been working on fixing up the Enneagram Assessment. It looked like it was making people pay to upgrade on chatgpt and I want this to be free. Take the free assessment by downloading the attached html and dropping it into your browswer. I'll make a website link for this soon. One of the most common questions people ask is: "What Enneagram type am I?" The Enneagram describes nine distinct personality structures, nine ways we learn to navigate life, avoid discomfort, and seek what we believe will bring us security, love, and fulfillment. But the Enneagram is not about putting yourself in a box. It's about seeing the box you've already been living in. Understanding your type can help you recognize the patterns that run automatically in the background of your life, your motivations, blind spots, strengths, and recurring challenges. As those patterns become visible, new possibilities begin to emerge. This week, I'm releasing an Enneagram Assessment (beta version) to help you begin that exploration. The assessment is designed to identify your most likely Enneagram type and provide a starting point for deeper self-understanding. A few tips before you begin: - Answer based on how you have been most of your adult life, not how you'd like to be. - If you are stuck on a question, it is helpful to think of how you were in your 20s rather than now - Don't overthink the questions. - Be honest, even when an answer feels uncomfortable. - There are no good or bad types. Once you've completed it, share your results below if you'd like. I'd love to hear what type you received and whether it feels accurate. Most assessments are 60%-80% accurate. The score will give you a range that will be helpful for differentiating between types. It is simply a place to begin your exploration. The goal isn't to become a better version of your personality. The goal is to understand it so clearly that you begin to discover what exists beneath it. Take the assessment by dropping the html file into your browser.

The Self-Preservation instinct focuses on our well-being, security, and the practical foundations of life. It asks: "Do I have enough?" (House, food, money, resources etc) Question: How much of your attention this week has been devoted to maintaining your life and how much has been available for truly living it? Just notice. Awareness itself is valuable.
