If you already know your 16-type personality code, you might feel confident enough to predict the outcome of your Enneagram test—and vice versa.
Enneagram 4s are introspective, supremely self-aware, and highly emotional. Their determination to be authentic and true to their deepest nature is what earns them the label of the Individualist.
Enneagram wings are an additional influence on personality, and as such you’ll need to study them to understand how someone with your Enneagram number will function in the real world.
One of the most common questions people ask is can your Enneagram wings change? It turns out the answer could be either yes or no, depending on what is meant by the word change.
Does this sound confusing? It isn’t really, as we’ll discover as we delve more deeply into the complexities of the Enneagram personality system.
The Enneagram system consists of nine personality types, each of which is identified by a distinct primary motivation. Despite their differences, however, all of the Enneagram types do share some interests, and one of these is a desire to live in a world that treats people fairly and justly.
A highly sensitive person (HSP) can be deeply affected by just about anything that happens around them, for good or for ill. The behavior of their friends, family members, and other companions can have an especially large impact, which creates some interesting challenges for HSPs who are fortunate enough to be parents.
One of the most frequently asked questions about the Enneagram personality typing system is, can your Enneagram change over time? Many people are convinced that such a change is possible, based on what has occurred in their own lives or on what they’ve observed happening in the lives of others.
But is this true? Can your Enneagram change over time, as you get older and continue to accumulate transformative life experiences?
A closer examination will be necessary to answer this fascinating question.
Highly sensitive people (HSPs) have an accommodating temperament combined with a quiet confidence that makes them ideal for most leadership positions. They are sensitive to the needs of others and transparent in their concern for everyone’s welfare. This helps them elicit support and cooperation from people of diverse backgrounds and personalities, who come to trust them implicitly.
Could you be living with a highly sensitive person (HSP) and not know it? Many people who have an HSP personality are unaware of it, in many instances not even realizing that such a thing exists. Needless to say, if they don’t know the truth about their HSP personality you aren’t likely to know either, unless you’ve learned how to identify the signs on your own.
Are you perplexed and confused about which career to pursue? If so, you may want to consider creating and executing a comprehensive career exploration plan to make sure you’ll know exactly what you’re getting into before you pursue any occupational track.
