Here’s why many of you are mistyped...
Today, we’re discussing subtypes, also called instinctual variants. Subtypes are how you can have two of the same Enneagram type look totally different from one another.
Listen now
Whereas your main Enneagram type doesn’t change, your instinctual variant can.
Usually it’s really dominant in one way until we do some work on ourselves. Early on in my life I was living much more only in one subtype, but now I can toggle between two different subtypes fairly easily.
Subtypes can alter what an Enneagram type looks like.
And this is exactly why so many of you are mistyped!
When I let someone know their type is different from what they expected, I usually guide them to look at their subtype—self-preservation, social, and/or one-to-one—which makes a lot more sense to them.
It’s not complicated, but it is complex.
That’s because the Enneagram has so many different levels to it. We have our main types, wings, levels of development, centers of intelligence (the Triads), subtypes, tri-types, etc.
But today I’m talking about all things subtypes: what they are, how they help, and how they're the determining factor when solidifying what your type really is.
Let’s dive in...
Quotes:
1:34
The subtypes really can alter what an enneagram type looks like and a lot of times this is the reason why many of you are mistyped.
4:47
We each have an emotional pattern which is a passion in enneagram language.
5:49
Subtypes, these basic human instincts: self-preservation, social and 1-to-1, help to describe our core concern or focus for everyday lives.
6:55
I use my self preservation a lot, when it comes to logistics, business, the home, and how I interact in the tactical parts of life.
9:32
Self preservation subtypes are concerned with having enough resources, avoiding danger, having security and safety.
11:54
The 1-to-1’s are the most energized of the two subtypes.
14:24
Understanding your subtype will help your growth next level.
16:10
Usually there’s one of the 3 subtypes that make the main type look completely different than all the typical behavior.
17:33
I think that the subtypes help you clarify your personality at a deep, deep, deep level.
18:31
There’s not a lot of people talking about the subtypes because it is complex and there are harder questions, I mean you have to get vulnerable.
