I am obsessed with personality tests – anything that teaches me more about myself and helps me grow and get closer to the person I want to be, I will take it.
When I heard about the Enneagram, I was intrigued. I kept seeing so many post about it and how valuable they found it. So, of course I gave it a try! But I had so many questions… and after taking the tests – because YES, I took the test multiple times using different options available, I ended up with more questions! (is it bad that I test the tests? hahah)
I had to learn more and was so excited to have Steph Barron Hall, a Certified Enneagram Coach join me on the podcast to dive deep into The Enneagram to gain a better understanding of all that I had learned so far.
When I took the test, the results I got were 99% Type 1 and 91% Type 3. So I wondered, was Type 1 my core type and Type 3 my subtype? What was a wing? And don’t even get me started on what a centre was.

But in chatting with Steph, I learned that you can only have 1 core type and she helped me determine exactly what my core type was based on the unhealthy sides of both Type 1 and 3 because the motivations both resonated to a certain degree. But after hearing the negative aspects of each type – it was crystal clear which core type I was – Type 1.
As a Type 1, my wing type can either be 9 or 2. So again, understanding the motivation and unhealthy aspects of each type, I determined I was wing type 9.
And my centre is body – which is tied to gut.
Tune into to hear the differences between each type but also a deeper dive into Type 1 and 3 (which Steph is). It is truly fascinating how much your core type, once identified will resonate and will encourage you on your self discovery journey!
Alright, it’s time to get comfy with a cup of organic tea and maybe a notebook to take note of what type you think you are! Once you are done listening in, I would love to hear from you and learn what your core type is!
