Let\u2019s face it\u2026there\u2019s a deep complexity to the Enneagram. \xa0Yes, for some, it is extremely easy to nail down their type.\xa0 But for others\u2026well, it\u2019s more complicated. \xa0Why?\xa0 First, everyone exhibits behaviors that look like a particular type. \xa0And to make it even more difficult, there are an infinite number of expressions of each type, some of which will look nothing like you on the exterior, but are still a unique variation of that particular type.

However, we can\u2019t determine our type by our behaviors.\xa0 We really have to dig down into what\u2019s driving those behaviors and ask ourselves what is the underlying motivation behind my behavior?

When our guest, author and CNN political analyst, Kirsten Powers, reached out about her uncertainty in typing herself as a One or an Eight, we had to help her land on something.
