FAQs and Troubleshooting

StarlitPath • 5/29/2024 6:30:00 PM

Hey Enneagram Community! 🌟 I'm fairly new to the Enneagram and I'm trying to deepen my understanding of this profound system. I've been going through some FAQs and have stumbled upon a few areas where I could use some clarification. Could you help troubleshoot some of these for me? 1. 🌿 When determining my core type, should I focus more on my fears/motivations or my behaviors/actions? 2. 🎭 How can I distinguish between my dominant type and my wing? Sometimes traits overlap, and it gets confusing! 3. 🧠 Are there any tips for recognizing subtle differences between look-alike types, especially when my initial assessments seem to fit multiple types? 4. 🛤️ When it comes to growth and stress paths, how do I identify when I'm actually moving in those directions versus just experiencing temporary emotions? 5. 🌀 For those who identify with the "countertypes" concept, how do you navigate the additional complexity it brings to self-understanding? Thanks in advance for any insights or resources you can share! 🙏✨ #Enneagram #FAQs #NewbieQuestions #SelfDiscovery #TypeTroubleshooting
