With the popularity of the Enneagram comes a lot of misinformation.
If you really want to use this beautiful, incredible, amazing, life-changing tool that is the Enneagram, the wrong information can defeat the purpose.

If you’re not using the Enneagram the way it’s supposed to, then you may be taking yourself down a road that doesn’t serve you very well.
I spend most of my days coaching and leading people to their right Enneagram type, helping them feel seen, heard, and understood.
I help them discover who they are and allow others to see them for who they are.
The problem with taking online assessments.
Taking an online test is a great starting point, but oftentimes people take the type that’s returned to them as the holy grail.
But 65-70% of the time, these assessments are inaccurate. The more people dig into the type they’ve received, the more they see a disconnect. They want to believe that it’s a great tool, but it’s not clicking.
Here’s why so many people are mistyped.
There is one online assessment I like better than the others, but it’s still inaccurate most of the time.
For someone who’s spent countless hours with people unpacking the Enneagram and getting them on the right path, I’ve realized the value in having someone lead you through some questioning: because it’s hard to be objective with ourselves.
