I don't know if you know this but Sleeping At Last is doing a series of songs based on each number. And he has a podcast called the Sleeping At Last podcast, where he breaks down why he picked the lyrics for each enneagram and the research that he did with experts for the songs...it's so beautiful. You should give both a listen. He's currently working on 7!
Knowing my husband's enneagram type has explained why I have always kind of felt like I didn't completely understand him or feel like I know him. It's because 3s very rarely share their emotions and as a 4 I value them but he never seems to have any. Thank you Nikki for telling me about the emotions wheel, it's been helpful.
Ive been going through a hard time understanding myself, and through this video I found out that I’m mostly a 4, and everything just made soooo much sense ❤️ this video helped me sooo so so much, please talk more about it!
I was extremely skeptical about the beginning of this video. However, I found this test online and I'm a 6 (which is ironic, because we're less trusting and more skeptical). You're right, it's scary how accurate I am with my number. Like I've always said Mulan is my favorite and I relate so much to her. And someone did an analysis of how she's actually a 6. Also, my personality is ISFJ which is completely a 6 on the scale. I'm a true believer of this test now. Thank you for this video and for introducing me to something completely new.
OMG 6 is me... the website says that 6s are a bundle of opposites, "They are both strong and weak, fearful and courageous, trusting and distrusting, defenders and provokers, sweet and sour, aggressive and passive"... no wonder the Myers Briggs never worked for me and I always got different answers. THANK YOU
Shout out to all my 1s! I am a 1 wing 2, and I felt the exact same way you did. Reading the description of the 1 gave me chills all over. I just wanted to shout, "I'm not alone!!!" haha!! Great content as always, girl!
My Enneagram is 2 and I’m an INFJ in Myers Brigg. I love personality tests so much. I would love to see a video like this about your thoughts on the Myers Brigg personality test.
Nikki I listened to some of the sermons you were talking about and I learned so much about myself! I love love love that pastor and sermon series and how he relates it to a Bible character and how God is the best of each enneagram number. Thanks for showing us this!
love the concept of these videos talking about self help. it’s gives you a new way of viewing things and situations and is so helpful! also, you’re T-shirt is so cute 😍
Thank you:) I really appreciate that! This definitely won’t be ALL my videos, but I love getting to just chat with you guys 💕 I felt so good after that last video!
NikkiPhillippi good haha! I would desperately miss your clean with me and night/morning routines that I love soooo much. I love a good mix of chatty and routine videos!
Great video! I'm an 8w7 and my tritype is 874 or 847, or some variation of those three. The way the tritypes work is that you have one number in each head, heart, and gut that you relate to most strongly (so, your tritype is probably not 764, Nikki, even though you can still def be a 7w6!). Sometimes it feels like my 7 is a lot stronger than the others, and same with the 4, so I realllllllly really find the tritypes helpful to explain the variations in my personality & reactions to things in different areas/times of life! I think the relationships aspect of the enneagram is SO fascinating and I'm always looking for more info on what pitfalls my husband & I might run into or how we can support each other and strengthen each other in our relationship, based on our strengths & weaknesses. So fun!!
Oddly enough I have never heard of this! Once you started getting into it I opened a new tab to start reading each description! Interesting stuff. #4 really resonated with me! So many of the points in #4 were like spot-on. As I was reading I was like... "ooohhhhh yeah that's me." hahaha
I kind of just put this talking video as like a podcast to listen to and I then looked more into the Enneagram and found out a lot about myself, like how you said "being able to put words to it". So yeah definitely do another video about it sometime! Also a link to a proper enneagram test would be great. Thanks!
I had never heard of this so I immediately took the test! My results were shockingly right on point! I am a 4, but can be mistaken for a 5. I answered very truthfully and the results gave me the most detailed personality I am. Thanks for sharing I am obsessed with this topic now. As I was taking the test I noticed that my answers today have changed drastically from when I was younger because of life circumstances.
I'm a 9! I don't know if I missed it, but I would love to know about the different podcasts on things like this you listen to! and the channels you watch on them. ALSO! more about your MBTI, I am fascinated by this, it's one of my passions!! MBTI is ISFP!
I'm a 4 and a 2. MBTI is INFJ. I am your true introvert who is mistaken for an extrovert because I'm a performer and a teacher lol! I've had a lot of fun exploring the enneagram since you mentioned it in a video. I love researching and learning about different personality types and how they interact with each other, especially with mine. Since studying the MBTI, I've truly been able to help my students and dancers better. Truly fascinating subject.
Wow this video really blessed me Nikki. I didn't know what the enneagram was until I heard it 3 times from 3 different sources in one day. I took that as a sign from God and decided to take the test. I am a 2, which I figured because I am in love with helping and supporting others. This video blessed me in understanding why God would put this on my heart.
I would really love it if you gave more information about what you think are good resources to read or listen to about this stuff. Websites or podcasts specifically relating to this topic. And also can you recommend some good pod casts or reading material about maybe philosophy or religion (religion for someone who doesn’t necessarily know a lot about it or believe in something specific) or just some interesting stuff! I relate to you because I’m also very sensitive and emotional and I like to dive deep into information and learn about life and this kind of stuff. Hope that wasn’t too confusing but I love you so much you’re such an inspiration to me. Thank you for being you ❤️❤️
I first discovered the enneagram over a year ago and nobody in my circle knew what it was. Being a christian, sometimes these type of things (personality tests) can seem too much like horoscopes to the outsider. I got a lot of eyerolls and sometimes backlash about the enneagram bc people thought it was like a horoscope which many christians don’t believe in (neither do I). I’m a 9w1 and 9s have trouble verbally explaining things in a concise way so I ended up rambling when trying to explain that the enneagram is such a vital tool. I LOVE that you came on youtube and spoke about your experience with the enneagram bc I honestly am still learning new things about my type that COMPLETELY floor me. It’s absolutely insane to me how something can be so accurate to my life and experiences. My favorite thing about the enneagram is exactly how you said it puts your desires, wishes, thought processes, fears, tendencies and perspective into words that you never would have noticed otherwise. I am constantly catching myself letting others make decisions simply bc I’m afraid of conflict and what could happen if I decided on the restaurant for dinner and i’m like “stop being such a 9!” I always wondered why I am so dang tired, exhausted and lacking energy ALL the time and I found out that’s a 9 thing! I read that 8,9,1 are the gut triad and their emotional struggle is anger and I literally said to myself “what!? i’m not an angry person!” and the very next sentence said “9s are asleep to their anger and don’t know it’s their emotional struggle” and it helped me understand that on the VERY rare occasion when I do get mad, my body instinctively makes me cry. Crying isn’t usually correlated with anger but it is for me! Also read that 9s tend to go numb in situations where they have no control over the peace and that we go to food, tv and books when we are numb-also me to a t!! I am constantly asking my friends to take the test and figure out their numbers bc I was able to build a stronger relationship with me and a friend bc we knew how each other thinks and our instinctive reactions to things.....and then I read that 9s like to push the enneagram on their friends😂 so it’s literally never ending the amount of jaw dropping moments I experience on my journey with the enneagram. Also I LOVE that it’s blown up in Nashville bc I’ve been wanting to move there for about 3 years now!!
At 20:00, I couldn’t help myself and purchased the test on the official website! 😂😍😍 I’m literally a draw between 1 and 6!!! With 5 as my secondary. Your video has helped me better understanding myself and how I interact with others around me!! 😃 Thank u!!! Am watching e sermon series too and have been so so blessed. 😃
YAYYYY I’ve been waiting for UA-camrs to y’all about this! It’s been such an amazing tool for me & all of my relationships! It’s saving me so many arguments and hard feelings. I’ve grown so much spiritually in the year that I’ve been learning it (and am still learning).
I'm not entirely sure what I did to deserve having you spell my Life out for me like you've been doing recently, but I am LIVING for it!! Keep it up girl! I'll happily take more videos on this! Ooh, what about a video cross referencing different tests? 🧐
I loved this video and before I even finished I went, took the test and found out I am a 2. Then I sent the test to all my friends so I could know theirs. My boyfriend found out he was an 8 and before he took the test I guessed he would be. Then we read the descriptions and we were blown away by how on par they were. And not only that, it feels personal and it’s almost like you’re being called out on the things you know you do, or you know are like you, but you don’t like to admit. And now I’m just obsessed with it, and could honestly see myself using it as therapy and counseling for myself when I’m having a rough time. And my friends couldn’t believe what they were hearing about their numbers and ahhh! Nikki! Thank you for doing this video and I hope you do another one soon. Love ya 💕
Such a lovely video! I'll totally look into it. Thank you for introducing this. I rarely comment like never. I like your personality, honesty and open minded way of talking and way of making videos!
I have never heard of the enneagram before. This was so interesting, I just love to hear you talk while I'm cleaning my house. I paused the video 5 minutes in to take the test and google the enneagram. I am a 2, but as I was reading the others, I sound like I could be a 5 too. I have very similar traits a 5 has. Please do more videos on the enneagram.
I found the YOU series by pastor Matt Brown right before getting married and finding out my fiance was a 3 has helped me understand his meltdowns because the motivations and fears are so clear to me now. God gave me the enneagram for a reason, and I've been able to use it as a conversation starter to talk about God.
Lovely to see more people getting into the enneagram. I’m a 9w1 sp/so and a infp and would recommend to anyone diving into the enneagram world. It can be really insightful and can bring you to be a better person ♥
I'm so happy I found your channel! I was looking for a sign regarding moving to Nashville and stumbled upon your Nashville posts. I was talking to my sister about enneagram yesterday so I decided to watch this and it's soooo crazy because I'm also a 7 and ENFP! I'm taking this as at least one sign sent to me regarding my Nashville move consideration and I look forward to watching more of your videos 😊
im a 6 with a 5 wing and an INFJ on Myers-Brigg! i heard about the enneagram from Annie F. Downs' podcast (she's a 7 and lives in Nashville too) and she has had some people on her podcast that are experts on the enneagram and every guest is asked what they are. but you should give the the podcast a listen, it's so great! also Sleeping at last (ryan) is currently writing songs based on the enneagram numbers and they are so powerful (I was in tears at atlas:six) and he has a podcast where he explains the writing process and even musical components of the song along side an expert that does a more thorough explanation of the number!
Paused and took the test, I'm a 9 and my wings are balanced. I was a little skeptical, because I have never heard of an enneagram, but I relate to the type 9 (peacemaker) on another level. Also, an INFP for the Myer-Briggs, which I heavily relate to as well.
@@Celeste8808 i googled enneagram test and clicked on the first one for me, which was eclectic energies (its free). I took both tests on there and they gave me the same result!
I went to Sandals Church for the past 3 years and I was there for the series! Very insightful to hear each number and see how we can use our own strengths and vulnerabilities with one another.
I'm a 5w6 and an INFJ on the Myers Briggs test :) when I first read to the description of a 5 I was so blown away by how spot on really was! It was a little creepy how accurate it was haha
I’m also 7! I’ve been psycho analyzing myself ever since I took it a few months ago. My biggest take away is that I dream so much but need to take more action. So I’ve been very intentional with what I want and how I execute. Very grateful for the test!
I would love to know more about this! I've never heard of this before but I'm really fascinated by it. Can you talk about all of the different characteristics of the numbers?
Hi Nikki! Have you ever taken the Clifton Strengths Finder? It's amazing. I really believe in people operating in their strengths, and this test was amazing! It helps you to know how you operate best, what your strengths are, and then the unhealthy way you may operate in those strengths.
I can totally see the deeply grateful in you. ❤️ it's amazing though!! It makes me happy since I am naturally skeptical and see negatives (by this test, they've put me as a one) SO your simple, childlike love for life is one of the beauties that shine off your heart ❤️
I'm so glad you made this video! I've been obsessed with mbti and knew you were an ENFP! I'm glad I got the validation that I was right lol I feel the same way about mbti because it actually put words to things so I could better understand myself and others. I'm an ENFJ btw. Now I'm going to look into enneagram, sounds fascinating
The jack of all trades expression is actually longer than people think. The full expression is “jack of all trades, master of none, is better than a master of one,” meaning that it’s better to have the knowledge and abilities on many things, rather than perfection in one area :)
I'm a 453 that intergrates well to 1. I have been tracking the times I'm in crisis this year and it turns out all of my meltdowns can be explained by my types basic fears and motivations. So I highly recommend knowing your number if you're finding it hard to get your s#$@ together.
Yesss enneagram!!!! My husband is a 6w5 and I’m a 6w7 so pretty much you and Dan but backwards 😂 and it is sooo accurate!! I’ve always felt super connected and similar to you, as well, so it’s fascinating now to know that we’re so similar on the enneagram! #obsessed with personality tests.
I've never heard of this before, and I will be checking it out. I love personality tests and learning more about myself especially more so now that we've moved to the Atlanta area and I am going through a job search (ughhh what a challenge that's been). I can understand the humor behind being at your best is being grateful and appreciating the smaller things in life as a 7. However, at the same time that is such a blessing and something that many strive for, and it may come more naturally to you. It's only when we are truly grateful and content with what we do have that we can truly make a meaningful impact on this world. On a side note, I just took a 36 question test to find my enneagram number, and it came back with 2, 7, and 5. I read through all of them and it's pretty tough deciding which is most like me because there are good chunks of the 7 and 5 that fit really well, and I'm definitely mostly a 2.
Love this video! Always enjoyed your talk videos! I feel like this would be so helpful to me because I’ve been struggling with a lot and this would be a great opportunity.
Yes! Please make another Enneagram video!! I love the enneagram! I’m pretty deep into it, been studying it for a year and a half. I actually am thinking of becoming an Enneagram coach! I’m a 9w1 self preservation subtype :)
Omg that’s cool! I would love to do that, except in typical 7 fashion, I don’t know THAT much about it! Hahaha I just decided to share because I figured I knew enough to share with a person who had no idea about the enneagram...? Lol! Also that’s soooo cool you’re looking into becoming a coach!😍
I would love to hear more about the enneagram! Could you make a video that gives a brief description of each number? I would also like to hear you share some details about how knowing your numbers has practically helped you and Dan in your marriage!
I’m a 2 and my next highest scores were 5 and then 9. I haven’t read about 9s or 5s yet but what you said about 5s I do relate to. I do think I’m primarily like a 2. Not only do I feel like personality tests turn out accurate for me but just a couple years ago I looked up my astrology birth chart (because my friend loves astrology) and it’s so accurate for me too. And numerology. And I’ve looked up the charts and numbers for my family, friends and boyfriend and it’s all pretty accurate for each person.
i see a lot of comments saying that they are more than one type. you’re only one type! there are different variations of each number (different wings, instinctual variants) but you’re only one type.
Sheila Kelly- Very cool! I took the Eclectic Energies one and I scored equally for 5 and 6. I'll have to do research to try and figure out if I'm 5w6 "The Problem Solver" or 6w5 "The Defender". Do you find that you also relate to type 2?
Ohhh, yeah my 6 score was higher for sure. But yes! Type 2 was way up there too, I think it was actually my second highest. I definitely relate to that one lots. Do you know your Myers-Briggs type? Mine for that is INFJ
Yes! I'm an INFJ as well! I saw a few people comment on here saying they were INFJs but with a different number. I bet we think really similarly. I sometimes watch videos from Frank James, fellow INFJ, and he and his comment section give great insight. I took the Personality Plus test that Nikki mentioned and my results were 77% Melancholy and 74% Phlegmatic.
I’d never heard of the enneagram before, and ended up googling it after watching this video - I think I’m a 4w5, which honestly makes so much sense hah
Yay im so happy you uploaded this! This is so interesting and I am def gonna read into this and see what my number is! I love this kind of stuff. Thanks for sharing Nikki ❤️❤️❤️
As per usual, so obsessed with your talking videos! However, this video was top notch. I know you also love psychology. Probably because it gives us a way to connect with each other and learn and grow. ❤️
I first heard about this from you and am just realizing/remembering it! It's all coming back to me. It was in one of your sit down chats with one of your friends. I think you guy were in an RV? haha. I'm a 4w3 or a 7w6 :) It's so true about being offended! I was like I'm not a 4!! hahaha ;)
When you talked about that girl who you felt you’re similar to, that’s kind of how I feel about you. I know that might come across a bit creepy, but it’s true 🤷♀️ So I already knew I’m an enfp and I just checked the enneagram and I think I might be a seven too. Thanks for this explanation, it was really helpful.
Interesting. Definitely going to look into this. I love personality tests! MyersBriggs I’m an ITSJ (or is it ISTJ??) it’s been a while 😂 I wonder what number I am!
You should totally actually pay to take the test on the Institute’s website. I was convinced I knew my number based on just reading descriptions, and then I took the time to take the test (it’s like $5) and I was way off and actually learned a lot more about myself by finding out what the test says I am vs what I thought I was.
I'm a social scientist and i just want to say that in terms of personality the only valid and scientific personality tests are those that are based on the Big 5 personality structure. The rest aren't valid and aren't honestly that useful. The Myers Briggs and so on are Nope... I don't know about this test but I wouldn't call it personality
I'm definitely a 4w3 as it fits too well. I love personality tests of any kind because I always want to learn new strategies to grow. Also an ENFP, which fits in pretty well with being a 4.
I guessed that Dan was a 5! That's what my husband is too! I think it was in "The Road Back to You" that he said 5s made good pilots and my husband has his pilot's license, but didn't wind up going into aviation as a career. (I typed this before you said Dan wanted to try being a bird for a day. LOL). I'm a 9. We're a pretty mellow pair. 😄 I think that 9 and 7 has the dislike of conflict in common. I'm somewhat new to this stuff too. It's super interesting though. 😊💖
What’s the name of the podcast you were talking about with the panel of different numbers? Loved the video by the way! I’m obsessed with the enneagram!
I had to take the test twice because my numbers were a tie. When I took it again it made sense because I'm a 9. it says that that 9's have a little of each number. This was cool! I did this test called True Colors in school, you should check it out. I'm gold! P.s. I like talking videos because it's were hanging out chilling. 🙂🙂🙂
My coworker just showed me enneagram and I’m a 1! I definitely resonate with it and I’m obsessed! She showed me the EnneaApp which is how I found out what number I am :3

Welcome to the rabbit hole! Hahaha
I love learning more about the enneagram! I’m a 7 and I’ve learned so much more about how I think and react! It all makes sense now 🤣🤣🤣

Please look up "sleeping at last!!" He writes amazing songs about each type!!!! I'm a 2 and I sobbed after hearing it!!!
My Enneagram is 2 and I’m an INFJ in Myers Brigg. I love personality tests so much. I would love to see a video like this about your thoughts on the Myers Brigg personality test.

Leslie Johnson INFJ here! Can’t wait to find out what number I am
I'm a 4 and INFJ as well! It's weird that I love theatre so much because I'm an introvert!
I’m INFJ too ooh I’m interested to see what my number is
Same as me! I am also both :) xx
You are only one number

YAYYYY I’ve been waiting for UA-camrs to y’all about this! It’s been such an amazing tool for me & all of my relationships! It’s saving me so many arguments and hard feelings. I’ve grown so much spiritually in the year that I’ve been learning it (and am still learning).
I enjoyed this video. Anybody else immediately pause the video and took a test to find out what they are?? Lol.
6 wing 5
PetiteTreats hey I am too :)
I'm a type 6 and a 6w5
Totally did!
Please do more Enneagram videos!!! I’m a type 2w1 and I’m OBSESSED with Enneagrams.
I'm not entirely sure what I did to deserve having you spell my Life out for me like you've been doing recently, but I am LIVING for it!! Keep it up girl! I'll happily take more videos on this!
Ooh, what about a video cross referencing different tests? 🧐
I loved this video and before I even finished I went, took the test and found out I am a 2. Then I sent the test to all my friends so I could know theirs. My boyfriend found out he was an 8 and before he took the test I guessed he would be. Then we read the descriptions and we were blown away by how on par they were. And not only that, it feels personal and it’s almost like you’re being called out on the things you know you do, or you know are like you, but you don’t like to admit. And now I’m just obsessed with it, and could honestly see myself using it as therapy and counseling for myself when I’m having a rough time. And my friends couldn’t believe what they were hearing about their numbers and ahhh! Nikki! Thank you for doing this video and I hope you do another one soon. Love ya 💕
The first time I heard about this was when I was in therapy almost 8 years ago! Definitely changed my life! So glad you’ve found this!!
I would love more Enneagram videos! I just recently got into the Enneagram and am totally obsessed. I'm a 2! Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Hi Nikki! Loved this video. I'm totally with you on being a 7/ENFP. Loved all your mannerisms and quirks.
Such a lovely video! I'll totally look into it. Thank you for introducing this. I rarely comment like never. I like your personality, honesty and open minded way of talking and way of making videos!
love the enneagram! 5w6’s unite!
This is my first time hearing about the enneagram and it's sooo interesting!! I just took the test and I'm a 5w6, which totally makes sense!
I have never heard of the enneagram before. This was so interesting, I just love to hear you talk while I'm cleaning my house. I paused the video 5 minutes in to take the test and google the enneagram. I am a 2, but as I was reading the others, I sound like I could be a 5 too. I have very similar traits a 5 has. Please do more videos on the enneagram.
I found the YOU series by pastor Matt Brown right before getting married and finding out my fiance was a 3 has helped me understand his meltdowns because the motivations and fears are so clear to me now. God gave me the enneagram for a reason, and I've been able to use it as a conversation starter to talk about God.
This video looks so comfy. The bed, the sweats, the pillows, the couch, ughhh
Lovely to see more people getting into the enneagram. I’m a 9w1 sp/so and a infp and would recommend to anyone diving into the enneagram world. It can be really insightful and can bring you to be a better person ♥
I'm so happy I found your channel! I was looking for a sign regarding moving to Nashville and stumbled upon your Nashville posts. I was talking to my sister about enneagram yesterday so I decided to watch this and it's soooo crazy because I'm also a 7 and ENFP! I'm taking this as at least one sign sent to me regarding my Nashville move consideration and I look forward to watching more of your videos 😊
im a 6 with a 5 wing and an INFJ on Myers-Brigg! i heard about the enneagram from Annie F. Downs' podcast (she's a 7 and lives in Nashville too) and she has had some people on her podcast that are experts on the enneagram and every guest is asked what they are. but you should give the the podcast a listen, it's so great! also Sleeping at last (ryan) is currently writing songs based on the enneagram numbers and they are so powerful (I was in tears at atlas:six) and he has a podcast where he explains the writing process and even musical components of the song along side an expert that does a more thorough explanation of the number!
Paused and took the test, I'm a 9 and my wings are balanced. I was a little skeptical, because I have never heard of an enneagram, but I relate to the type 9 (peacemaker) on another level. Also, an INFP for the Myer-Briggs, which I heavily relate to as well.
wanderer where did you take the test?
@@Celeste8808 i googled enneagram test and clicked on the first one for me, which was eclectic energies (its free). I took both tests on there and they gave me the same result!
I second everybody recommending Sleeping At Last! I’m obsessed, his songs are so beautiful. I’m a 6 and his song Six made me cry because it is ME!
I went to Sandals Church for the past 3 years and I was there for the series! Very insightful to hear each number and see how we can use our own strengths and vulnerabilities with one another.
im a 4! been obsessed with it too and i believe it has helped me better understand myself and others!
So cool! I love 4’s😈
I am a 4 too!
I'm a 5w6 and an INFJ on the Myers Briggs test :) when I first read to the description of a 5 I was so blown away by how spot on really was! It was a little creepy how accurate it was haha
Saw ur thumbnail.. Got reminded about askNikki. Missed those days.. Those helped me out so much..
I’m also 7! I’ve been psycho analyzing myself ever since I took it a few months ago. My biggest take away is that I dream so much but need to take more action. So I’ve been very intentional with what I want and how I execute. Very grateful for the test!
I would love to know more about this! I've never heard of this before but I'm really fascinated by it. Can you talk about all of the different characteristics of the numbers?
Hi Nikki! Have you ever taken the Clifton Strengths Finder? It's amazing. I really believe in people operating in their strengths, and this test was amazing! It helps you to know how you operate best, what your strengths are, and then the unhealthy way you may operate in those strengths.
I am a 2w1!! It has changed my life knowing about this ❤️❤️ thanks for making this! My best friend is also a 7 and I have learned SO much from her.
I can totally see the deeply grateful in you. ❤️ it's amazing though!! It makes me happy since I am naturally skeptical and see negatives (by this test, they've put me as a one) SO your simple, childlike love for life is one of the beauties that shine off your heart ❤️
I'm so glad you made this video! I've been obsessed with mbti and knew you were an ENFP! I'm glad I got the validation that I was right lol I feel the same way about mbti because it actually put words to things so I could better understand myself and others. I'm an ENFJ btw. Now I'm going to look into enneagram, sounds fascinating
I always feel cool when I guess someone’s number and I’m right! Hahaa so I understand! Lol also I’m glad you liked the video!
The jack of all trades expression is actually longer than people think. The full expression is “jack of all trades, master of none, is better than a master of one,” meaning that it’s better to have the knowledge and abilities on many things, rather than perfection in one area :)
I’m a 4 w 3! Love these videos! You seem so down to earth
I'm a 453 that intergrates well to 1. I have been tracking the times I'm in crisis this year and it turns out all of my meltdowns can be explained by my types basic fears and motivations. So I highly recommend knowing your number if you're finding it hard to get your s#$@ together.
Yesss enneagram!!!! My husband is a 6w5 and I’m a 6w7 so pretty much you and Dan but backwards 😂 and it is sooo accurate!! I’ve always felt super connected and similar to you, as well, so it’s fascinating now to know that we’re so similar on the enneagram! #obsessed with personality tests.
I’m always fascinated by personality tests! I’m an ENFP, and now I really want to look into this!
I've never heard of this before, and I will be checking it out. I love personality tests and learning more about myself especially more so now that we've moved to the Atlanta area and I am going through a job search (ughhh what a challenge that's been). I can understand the humor behind being at your best is being grateful and appreciating the smaller things in life as a 7. However, at the same time that is such a blessing and something that many strive for, and it may come more naturally to you. It's only when we are truly grateful and content with what we do have that we can truly make a meaningful impact on this world.
On a side note, I just took a 36 question test to find my enneagram number, and it came back with 2, 7, and 5. I read through all of them and it's pretty tough deciding which is most like me because there are good chunks of the 7 and 5 that fit really well, and I'm definitely mostly a 2.
Love this video! Always enjoyed your talk videos! I feel like this would be so helpful to me because I’ve been struggling with a lot and this would be a great opportunity.
Thank you so much:) and yes! Definitely look into it! It’s pretty eye opening and thought provoking!😊💕
Yes! Please make another Enneagram video!! I love the enneagram! I’m pretty deep into it, been studying it for a year and a half. I actually am thinking of becoming an Enneagram coach! I’m a 9w1 self preservation subtype :)
Omg that’s cool! I would love to do that, except in typical 7 fashion, I don’t know THAT much about it! Hahaha I just decided to share because I figured I knew enough to share with a person who had no idea about the enneagram...? Lol! Also that’s soooo cool you’re looking into becoming a coach!😍
YESSS!!! An enneagram video!!!! Highly recommend “the road back to you” and look up enneagram podcasts.
I would love to hear more about the enneagram! Could you make a video that gives a brief description of each number? I would also like to hear you share some details about how knowing your numbers has practically helped you and Dan in your marriage!
I know you have probably answered this but is there one test you recommend to start with ?
Never heard of this, thanks for sharing! I love to try understand why I am the way I am lol 💖
Oh really?! I think you will find this wormhole fascinating then! Lol and thank youuu!💕
NikkiPhillippi definitely going to look into it!
I have never heard of this but this video has been so interesting! Please do another one!
I’m a 2 and my next highest scores were 5 and then 9. I haven’t read about 9s or 5s yet but what you said about 5s I do relate to. I do think I’m primarily like a 2. Not only do I feel like personality tests turn out accurate for me but just a couple years ago I looked up my astrology birth chart (because my friend loves astrology) and it’s so accurate for me too. And numerology. And I’ve looked up the charts and numbers for my family, friends and boyfriend and it’s all pretty accurate for each person.
i see a lot of comments saying that they are more than one type. you’re only one type! there are different variations of each number (different wings, instinctual variants) but you’re only one type.
Wow! I'm a 5/6 too. Not sure if I'm a 5w6 or 6w5. Anyone else have trouble figuring that out?
Sarah D I’m a 6w5! The test I took states it that way
Sheila Kelly- Very cool! I took the Eclectic Energies one and I scored equally for 5 and 6. I'll have to do research to try and figure out if I'm 5w6 "The Problem Solver" or 6w5 "The Defender". Do you find that you also relate to type 2?
Ohhh, yeah my 6 score was higher for sure. But yes! Type 2 was way up there too, I think it was actually my second highest. I definitely relate to that one lots. Do you know your Myers-Briggs type? Mine for that is INFJ
Yes! I'm an INFJ as well! I saw a few people comment on here saying they were INFJs but with a different number. I bet we think really similarly. I sometimes watch videos from Frank James, fellow INFJ, and he and his comment section give great insight. I took the Personality Plus test that Nikki mentioned and my results were 77% Melancholy and 74% Phlegmatic.
Wow, I was 77% melancholy too! But my phlegmatic was 69%. I bet we do think a lot alike! How cool!
I am a 3 w 2!!! Matches my personality so much
Enneagram 5 w6!! Love all thing enneagram :-)
I'm a 9w1 - excited to check out the Sandals Church podcast, thanks for the recommendation!
Loved literally everything about this
Strength finders is the other one you were trying to think of. ☺️ it’s so good too
I’d never heard of the enneagram before, and ended up googling it after watching this video - I think I’m a 4w5, which honestly makes so much sense hah
I’m a 5w4 / INFP. Love this video!!
I am a 2w1! I felt the exact same reading the enneagram- there was just so much that I could finally put a finger on about my personality!
Yay im so happy you uploaded this! This is so interesting and I am def gonna read into this and see what my number is! I love this kind of stuff. Thanks for sharing Nikki ❤️❤️❤️
As per usual, so obsessed with your talking videos! However, this video was top notch. I know you also love psychology. Probably because it gives us a way to connect with each other and learn and grow. ❤️
I’m so glad! Thank you so much 😊💕
Love your talking videos! I watch them while I get ready in the morning! 😊😊
I first heard about this from you and am just realizing/remembering it! It's all coming back to me. It was in one of your sit down chats with one of your friends. I think you guy were in an RV? haha. I'm a 4w3 or a 7w6 :) It's so true about being offended! I was like I'm not a 4!! hahaha ;)
I'm a 5w6!
mssaturn same! I haven’t heard of many others!
When you talked about that girl who you felt you’re similar to, that’s kind of how I feel about you. I know that might come across a bit creepy, but it’s true 🤷♀️ So I already knew I’m an enfp and I just checked the enneagram and I think I might be a seven too. Thanks for this explanation, it was really helpful.
Not creepy! I feel ya! Lol also, it really is fascinating huh?!
NikkiPhillippi yes! I was already kind of into Meyers Briggs but I’m excited to look more into the enneagram too now!
LOVE THIS VIDEO😊😘!! Do more of your talking videos!! ❤️❤️
Thank you!!😊😘
Perfect timing!! Ive been interested in the enneagram for a bit now and just this week Ive been reading a lot into it, Great video Nikki !
Thank youuuu!
Interesting. Definitely going to look into this. I love personality tests! MyersBriggs I’m an ITSJ (or is it ISTJ??) it’s been a while 😂 I wonder what number I am!
I wonder what number you are too! I have them memorized whereas I can never know the basic MB combos hahaha
What is Dan’s Myers Briggs?
I’m an INFP and I think I’m a 4w5, but I think I also have a lot of qualities of a two.
I’m literally in love with the Myers Briggs. It’s very interesting to me.
I’m an ISFJ and a 6w5 😊
You should totally actually pay to take the test on the Institute’s website. I was convinced I knew my number based on just reading descriptions, and then I took the time to take the test (it’s like $5) and I was way off and actually learned a lot more about myself by finding out what the test says I am vs what I thought I was.
Love when your talking about your relationship with Dan!
LOVE THIS. I’m a 2! 🙌🏽
LOVE the enneagram! Guessed Dan was a 5 in my head and I’m a 5 too!!!
I'm a social scientist and i just want to say that in terms of personality the only valid and scientific personality tests are those that are based on the Big 5 personality structure. The rest aren't valid and aren't honestly that useful. The Myers Briggs and so on are Nope... I don't know about this test but I wouldn't call it personality
Your video was so helpful!!! Thank u so so much!!!
I'm definitely a 4w3 as it fits too well. I love personality tests of any kind because I always want to learn new strategies to grow. Also an ENFP, which fits in pretty well with being a 4.
I am a 6w5
Loving these sit down conversation videos!
Love all your videos! 💕 Thanks for staying authentic.
I guessed that Dan was a 5! That's what my husband is too! I think it was in "The Road Back to You" that he said 5s made good pilots and my husband has his pilot's license, but didn't wind up going into aviation as a career. (I typed this before you said Dan wanted to try being a bird for a day. LOL). I'm a 9. We're a pretty mellow pair. 😄 I think that 9 and 7 has the dislike of conflict in common. I'm somewhat new to this stuff too. It's super interesting though. 😊💖
Isn’t it interesting!? So crazy btw you guessed he’s a 5😈😭 also Dan has always had an interest in aviation!
What’s the name of the podcast you were talking about with the panel of different numbers? Loved the video by the way! I’m obsessed with the enneagram!
I had to take the test twice because my numbers were a tie. When I took it again it made sense because I'm a 9. it says that that 9's have a little of each number. This was cool! I did this test called True Colors in school, you should check it out. I'm gold! P.s. I like talking videos because it's were hanging out chilling. 🙂🙂🙂
I love your sit down and chat videos.
My coworker just showed me enneagram and I’m a 1! I definitely resonate with it and I’m obsessed! She showed me the EnneaApp which is how I found out what number I am :3
