E83:Are You Mistyped on the Enneagram? The Clues Most People Miss (and Why Motivation Matters)

Episode 83
41m | Oct 8, 2026

In this Enneagram Adventure episode, IEQ9-certified coaches Holly and Tannah discuss why Enneagram mistypes happen and how to spot them by focusing on core motivation rather than behavior. They explain how stress, assessments taken at different life seasons, wings, and especially subtypes (social, self-preservation, one-to-one) can make people “look like” other types. Using their own examples, they cover common mistype pairings including Social 2 vs 3 (ambition and image vs appreciation needs), one-to-one 5 vs 4 (emotional detachment and boundaries vs emotional comfort and self-revelation), 1 vs 5, 1 vs 2 (people-pleasing/authority approval), 3 vs 8 (adaptability vs pushing through), 4 vs 7, 8 vs 9, counterphobic 6 vs 8, and 3 vs 6. They invite listeners with mistype questions to reach out and also request volunteer guests—especially Type 1s—for their upcoming guest series.
