You’ll find numerous explanations online, but here’s what’s used at Simply Told:
The Enneagram is a guide to celebrating and appreciating our differences.
We each interact with the world in unique ways. The Enneagram uses nine types to assist in comprehending our motivations behind the precious stories of how we interact with people and circumstances.
Understanding these motivations not only brings self-discovery, but keeps those discoveries as guiding lights for developing empathy and compassion for ourselves and others.
Brian Holaway, owner of Simply Told, conducts the interview. Brian has completed extensive enneagram training and is near certification as an enneagram typing professional with The Narrative Enneagram.
Great question!
An online test can be helpful, but it is ill-equipped to determine the motivations behind how you interact with the world. Tests often focus on behavior.
During an interview, a trained Enneagram typing professional asks relevant questions and listens for motivations, rather than behaviors.
This method not only brings clarity but also serves as a guiding light for developing empathy and compassion for ourselves and others.
As a follow-up to the interview, you will receive a summary of the results, along with simple next steps.
If time allows we may briefly cover wings, resource types, and subtypes. However, our primary goal is guiding you in discovering your type.
Brian is also happy to offer further coaching and teaching if that is something you would like to pursue with additional sessions.
