The Enneagram is by far the most effective tool for deepening self-knowledge, sharpening self-awareness, and improving relationships. It helps to identify your unique personality and guides you toward living as your authentic self.\\xa0 But what if you\\u2019re stuck and haven\\u2019t yet figured out your type?

Today\\u2019s guest, singer/songwriter Amy Grant struggled to find her type too.\\xa0 So, we tackled the struggle from a different angle\\u2026using stances. \\xa0In fact, one of the quickest ways to identify your Enneagram type is to first look at the different social styles, or stances, of the types rather than focus on each type individually.\\xa0

The social styles of the nine Enneagram types are divided into three stances: assertive, compliant, and withdrawn.\\xa0 Stances refer to the basic posture of each type and how they move in the world. \\xa0The Assertive Stance (Types 3, 7, 8) moves against others and takes action to get their needs met.\\xa0 The Compliant Stance (Types 1, 2, 6) moves toward others to meet their needs externally. While the Withdrawing Stance (Types 4, 5, 9) moves away from others by turning inward to find fulfillment. \\xa0\\xa0

So, if you\\u2019re struggling to find your type, ask yourself, \\u201cDo I move toward others, with others, or away from others?\\u201d \\xa0
