"...Those who already know the Enneagram, probably know my type by now..."

Yeeeesssss we all know haha - just kidding. But it's fine. Everyone is beutiful and powerful the ways it is.

I think it is a very useful tool to start or reinforce the path of self-knowledge.

Like many other tools, it is not a question of fixed rules but rather of general brushstrokes that allow us to represent outside what happens to us inside and in that sense to understand ourselves a little more.

It is also a very beautiful way of understanding others. If we can identify - without judging or tagging, the enneatype of the people around us, we will be able to communicate more effectively and harmoniously. Because - as you have probably already discovered, not all proposed personalities react equally to the same triggers.

This is a subject I am deeply passionate about because it not only allows me to get to know myself, but also my environment and thus to be more receptive, compassionate and tolerant.

(It even works for the creation of characters and stories!)

"...I identified with that "disintegrated" type as my primary type..."

This is super interesting!!! I've been studying it for a while and I'm still not sure on what my enneatype is haha. But I've never thought that maybe it is because I'm identifing myself with my disconected form. It's a good point though, from there I can do the work "in reverse" haha.

Thank you for bring this amazing topic! And good luck in your journey ❤️
