The wings are typically much easier to decipher than your type. 6. Remember that you might not see your type so clearly in yourself. It is very hard This Guide is meant to help you affirm your type, or help you discover your type for the first time while avoiding the common pitfalls that come with self-typing. Without further ado, here are the… 7 Things to Consider When Finding (or Affirming) Your Type: 1. Make sure you have a basic understanding of each type before you delve into typing yourself. Just like you need to know the premise of how a re car works before deciding if it’s the brakes or the radiator, you have to have an understanding of the nine types before you can know with certainty of your own type. I would suggest looking at www.EnneagramBook.com to get a feel for each type. While you are browsing, make sure to note any types that you feel are REALLY you, or REALLY NOT you. 2. Take the free Enneagram Test. There are a few tests out there that will attempt to find your type by an online test. Although these are far from infallible, they certainly are a part of the process. I won’t recommend one in particular, but you can google “Enneagram Test” to find one that suits your needs. 3. Answer the questions on the test honestly.

Many times people hear they are a 4 and wonder if that is less than a 1 or half of an 8. The numbers are just symbols. All of the types are different, equal, interesting, beautiful, and have something to offer. Love your type! 5. Find your wing. Each Enneagram type has a wing. Wings can make a huge difference in your type. Although not everyone agrees on the authenticity of the wing, I have found it to be true more of the time than false, so I still suggest it.

Plus, a great many teachers think the “oral tradition” of the Enneagram is really the only way the lineage can be passed.
