It's so weird being in front of the camera this time. Hope you enjoyed it though! What characters would you like to see in the series? The enneagram was extremely beneficial for my mental health last year and it's something I've been deeply passionate about ever since. After spending almost an entire year researching the enneagram and watching countless character driven movies in preparation of doing a 10 part video series where I explore how characters in film portray each of the 9 types in depth, it's so good to finally share it all with you ❤❤❤
I cannot believe you said that after years of research. If you truly had researched it, you would have know how it was created, based on lies, and where it's coming from. The meaning of it, which is very dangerous and demonic. Please be careful.
"The Enneagram doesn't put you in a box, it shows you the box you put yourself in and how to get out." Bruh. So good. This is easily one of the most grounded, informative, and entertaining videos I've seen on the Enneagram. I studied it a lot when I was working on my Psych degree. It's cool to see it slowly gaining traction, but for the most part, I've seen it more akin to horoscopes when being described by other channels. "You are THIS or you are THAT. THIS is how you behave under THAT circumstance." So I really liked the comparison of the different Nine's. I always looked at healthy levels, growth direction, and wings as the main cause for the difference of people within the same types. But I really liked your explanation of those 3 sub groups within the types. When you explained reading about the 9 and how you reacted was exactly how I was when I first read about Six. It was like reading a self description of my inner self. And like you said about the box, the acknowledgement of areas within myself that im more prone to stumble allowed me to be able to work on them. (Conquering fears, trusting others, inward support vs external, etc). That's where I've found the Enneagram the most helpful. Also in learning the types of those closest to me to better support them. Knowing my partners type allows me to love them in the way that's catered specifically to them. (Sort of like the different love language). Anyway, all that to say, excellent job! Looking forward to more! 6w5
Hi! I was wondering... As you have a Psych Degree, was delving into psychoanalytics like the Enneagram encouraged? I was under the impression because it is not backed up by science, it shouldn’t be studied in a psychology course. I really hope that I am wrong because I feel the Enneagram is so insightful and transformative!
This is one of the most simplified, in depth video on the enneagram that I’ve ever seen. As a 5, who has over researched this, I knew all this before, but instead of me having to explain all this to people when I talk about it, I’ll just now send them this.
In short, enneagram is more about the person's internal fears, desires and motivations Edit: INFJ 9w1 so/sx 952 RLOAI Melancholic-Phlegmatic LEVF TiSe III-/NiFe I-II/SeTi II-I (Vultology)
If only we had a cognitive functions equivalent of this video. His great advice on approaching enneagram is so ironic considering how he misjudges MBTI. If only he learned of cognitive functions
mbti isn't about the letters though, it's about cognitive functions. while the enneagram is concerned with motivations, mbti is more concerned with how people process information, so to speak. 16personalities does it no justice.
Yeah people need to know mbti is based on eight cognitive functions. And the best way to know more about one’s personality, i feel like we should use both cuz its more complete
MBTI is based on the letters, though. It's a system derived from the cognitive functions, so it's deterministic in nature. Instead of the functions determining your letters, it's the letters that determine your functions.
@@vivaleroca7511 but the functions do determinate your letters? all I've read about mbti that isn't 16p puts the functions above the letters. an intj is an intj because they use the stack NiTeSiFe, not the other way around.
@@9990zara if you've seen the MBTI tests and descriptions, they all type you according to four dichotomies, not functions. I'm saying that MBTI is a system that determines your cognitive functions, but cognitive functions are concepts that Jung created separately from and prior to MBTI. Edit: Don't misunderstand me. The ideal setup would be the cognitive functions dictating your type (i.e., you prioritize Ne = ENxP). However, if you check the officially licensed MBTI tests on the internet used by practitioners (take note: MBTI tests are different from cognitive functions tests), they're typing you according to 4 letters before presenting to you your function stack, therefore, making it deterministic in nature. Say, you're an ENFP according to the MBTI test but you so happen to be a stronger Fe and Ti user (Ne-Fe-Ti-Si stack). Does that make you any less of an ENFP? Are you by definition an ENTP? Yes, ENTP would coincide with your function stack, but you prioritize your feeling over thinking that it's counter-intuitive to be labeled a thinker. The point is that I'm not wrong when i say that MBTI determines your cognitive functions, but I'm also saying that this setup is deterministically flawed, so it's not worth boxing yourself in these 4 letters. Instead, learn about the cognitive functions that define your daily decisions and learn from them.
i would like to add mbti is not only about processing (gathering+organizing) information, as those are only for Si, Ne, Se, Ni. it’s also how we connect with others as well as what we place our identity on, which are done by Te, Fi, Ti, Fe.
I’m an author and use the enneagram to help me write characters. It’s super useful for me since I have a lot of trouble understanding personalities, I would highly recommend it. I’ve even based the magic system on what type you are! (8s have barriers that can protect themself but if they let someone inside the barrier to protect them too, they’re extra vulnerable to them, 9s are physics who can look into other’s thoughts and memories but if they aren’t careful they can end up loosing part of themself, stuff like that!)
@@victorychibuzo1303 Yeah! The first two I’ve made I’m not planning on sharing with anyone but right now I’m working on another book that’ll be posted to Tapas for free. My account name is The_Syzygy_Epoch if you want to read it when it’s out :) I’m also posting a weekly webcomic on that account (same universe, same magic system) but fair warning, I started it when I was kinda young so the first 20 or so pages are not exactly the most high quality work I’ve done
"You'll know you've found your type when the description makes you feel uncomfortable and embarrassed." -- LOL, best description of the Enneagram I've ever heard 😂
when i found out that i was an entj i was like "yeah cool it's so me" but when i discovered enneagram and read the things about type 3 i literally cried
I really appreciate the realistic and accurate way you're introducing enneagram to people. You aren't making it more than it really is, and you aren't oversimplifying anything about it, while still making it digestable and easy to understand for newcomers.
Omg Josh - I have been studying the Enneagram for about 4 years, am a certified Enneagram Coach, and regularly use the Enneagram in my marriage and family therapy practice with clients. This is the BEST overview of the Enneagram I've ever seen. Thanks so much. 💖
I've been studying the Enneagram for almost 7 years now and this is one of the BEST videos explaining the E-types for beginners; I will sharing this with so many people because I have gotten so MUCH awareness, healing & insight from The Enneagram.
This is an amazing breakdown. I’m also a fellow 9w1 and for years have been mistyped as a 2, because I was raised by a family of 2’s and 3’s and took on their energy of what to do and how to act, then in college up until early adulthood was mistyped as a 6, because I was a 9 in stress and had to know every detail before acting, felt like I was constantly walking on eggshells and moved into paranoia or full on action mode all of the time. Now that I know that I’m a 9, it feels right and I realize that all of my anxiety was triggered by not fitting in and wanting peace at all costs, so I twisted myself into what people wanted to achieve that peace. The Enneagram is an amazing tool. I’m a wing 1, so I’m looking forward to the other videos but I know that perfectionist streak hits hard lol. Thanks again x✨
@@martincronje5242 I know the feeling - it can feel like you're in a washing machine continuously spiralling. But hang in there, find what works for you and set boundaries to people who trigger it in you. I know I've had to.
I would love to see more examples of each type as healthy and unhealthy. As a 4, I’m bored with how my type is mostly portrayed as moody, slightly dark, etc. 4’s can be fun, playful, healthy, and organized too.
I feel that enneagram is most helpful when combined with each of our MBTI types for personal growth. The way he described MBTI in the video was not accurate at all, for it delves deep into theories such as the temperaments and cognitive functions which is much more helpful in understanding how we may perceive the world, make decisions, and behave. For example, an ENFP type four is likely not going to fit into the stereotype of fours being moody, dramatic, and selfish (though they could while unhealthy, but their natural demeanor of an ENFP is likely bubbly and joyful).
Josh - I am genuinely impressed. As someone who has “formal” training in the Enneagram and who uses that training extensively as part of my job description, I think you have done a better job presenting the basic material in less than 15min than I have done in a 1/2 day training. Seriously. Well done. Thank you! My only addition would be that in my experience, finding the right type can feel both vulnerable AND inspiring - not simply embarrassed and/or depressed. 😂 However, I agree that when we do find what resonates, we usually feel like someone has climbed inside our psyche!
@@JakeMGolle there’s books and classes taught about the enneagram, there’s no like college degrees on the enneagram but you can def take some classes on it. I’m guessing that’s what he meant my former training
Yes excellent point. I used to mention it to people I meet and noticed how many seemed intimidated by the possibility of better understanding themselves (or others), while a few were genuinely intrigued... to this day. I was just naive about defenses 👽
@@JakeMGolle Enneagram theory goes back several decades and there are several formal certification programs that are excellent and provide nuanced training on how to help people understand their type and use it as a tool for self-development. It is not pseudoscience.
Josh! This is hands down the best, concise, most compact description of Enneagram typology and archetypes that i've seen here on UA-cam! My wife and i have spent the last 5-6 years digging deeply to understand, so when i had a new coworker who needed to start her journey, i was at a loss on how to start her out. Your video is fun to watch, uses contemporary films to stay engaging, explains accurately, and is all delivered in under 15 minutes. Great job, my friend! Thank you for doing this!
This is the most comprehensive and shortest video I’ve ever seen of the enneagram. Nice job on all the work you put in. I’m also a 9 and it gave me the language to communicate my inner self to others and myself.
This is my favorite take on the enneagram. I love using a combination of this and MBTI together for helping to understand better how people think and function differently from me.
Hey for anyone out there having trouble identifying themselves: There's a really neat band called Sleeping at Last with a whole album centered around the Enneagram. They have a song for each type. Go and listen to them. You'll know which type you are when it's song hits.
I found the song before I knew what it meant and I loved the 2. Then later I found out about thr enneagram and found out I was a 2! Now I love the ding even more
@@somedudeintheinterweb8665 It's called Atlas: Enneagram... Here's the link to the whole playlist: ua-cam.com/play/OLAK5uy_kg6Nlgy6fS3QAjACGO35Jl8mwm4VX3wUc.html
That's a common misinterpretation of MBTI. That's what the test makes it seem like, but the cognitive function stack goes way deeper and is way more complex than what one can learn in a couple of years.
@@sierrafarnum9689 Huh. I had not even considered "cool" as a factor to consider. My assumption is that people seek out this personality systems to better understand themselves and others around them ("helpful"). The MBTI itself claims to be helpful. If it's not, and it's just cool, it might as well be a buzzfeed quiz, something that's just for fun.
@@meoric1 16personalities MBTI uses extroversion vs introversion, intuition vs sensing, to form your MBTI personality which is completely different & inaccurate from actual MBTI. Real MBTI is based on the Jungian theory of cognitive functions such as Fe (extroverted feeling) or Ti (introverted thinking) etc. and it creates a stack of cognitive functions that you use the most based on your answers. Such an example is Ti-Ne-Si-Fe or INTP (where Ti is your dominant function, followed by Ne, you get the idea.) and isn't just an "are you introverted or extroverted" binary Also it isn't as complicated as Sierra passes it off. You can understand the basics of cognitive functions in a couple days, and if you actually want to study it much more thoroughly for years, then why not. For its helpful aspect, there's things in MBTI called "loops". For example, let's have INTP's function stack Ti-Ne-Si-Fe. INTP can go into what's called an Ti-Si loop where it bypasses its auxiliary function, Ne (extroverted intuition), and goes straight to Si (introverted sensing), and its bad since they detach from the external world and gets stuck with Ti (which is basically analyzing very deeply & thinking internally) and Si (which is basically memory) going back and forth, which is very unhealthy as they get stuck in the past as opposed to if they had Ne as they normally would, which uses the information analyzed from Ti, and use it to find useful ways of moving forward. Learning and understanding these loops helps you avoid it. There are also tons of content out there that help teach you how to get out of these loops. This is super simplified, and reading into MBTI is definitely worth it, if you have the time.
When I first hear about the Enneagram, I was annoyed because all my friends kept saying, “I’m a 8 so that means...” or “you’re definitely a 4 because...” and they wouldn’t shut up about it. They kept nagging me to take a test online and I did....three times....I got a 2, 6 and a 7. I came to the conclusion that the enneagram wasn’t helpful but just another way to box others in. (Honestly, I was more annoyed with the enneagram because of my friends) BUT, after watching your video, I’m starting to see why the Enneagram was made. I didn’t even know about the subtypes within each number. I’m interested in learning more in depth about this tool and how it works. Also as a lover of film and diving into in-depth character and worlds, I would love to see how certain movie characters embody these types. Thanks for helping me get a better understanding! I’m glad it’s helped you
I feel the same about zodiac, there’s sun signs and moons signs as well as natal charts and ascending/descending.... basically astrology was a real knowledge and science practiced around the world but too many teens and young adults these days just box people into stereotypes like “aries are wreckless” then make dumb ig posts, tbh it’s fucking annoying and it made it hate the zodiac even though I was so interested in it
I loved this series. This video an the other three released so far dive deeper into the types and what drives them than any others I've seen, and I wish I had this resource when I was first learning about this stuff 5-10 years ago. I know it's a huge effort to make these videos, especially at this high level of quality (from one 9w1 to another, I get it) -- but I hope and pray that Josh finds the time and space to make the other 6 in the series someday!
I’ve found that incorporating ones Enneatype with their MBTI typing helps in formulating a more complete design of ones psyche. The enneatype is the liquid poured through the MBTI filter. For instance my Sx/Sp 9w1 shines through my INFP (Fi-Ne-Si-Te) lens and extending to even our shadow functions. It helps in understanding the detrimental nature of ones enneatype based fears and how they present in the inferior and shadow functions of MBTI to truly challenge those fears and promote growth. Also awesome job on this video! You explained everything thoroughly and succinctly, which is very hard to do with such hefty subject matter.
I have a question, can I have between two or three of the 16 personalities at the same time? because I have investigated a lot about them but I find myself rotating between the three in my daily life.
This is hands down the BEST enneagram explanation video I've seen yet! I recently got into the enneagram system after years of being into the MBTI personalities. I found the enneagram's description of the 9 to be far more pointed and accurate than MBTI's description of the ISFJ (my personality types :) ) Great job on this!
I'm a Type 5W6 (according to an online test and it suited me) and i'm looking forward to your video on it!!!! Oh and everyone: Sleeping at Last has a song on each type (One - Nine) so if you're having trouble figuring out ur type, go listen to all their Type songs and see which one makes you cry the most!!
adding onto this, if youre wondering why some characters seem vastly different despite having the same core type there is a theory that complicates things called tritypes. this engages each triad of the enneagram. im a 2w3 sx/so but i still act vastly different than other 2s (not only because of instinctual variants) but also because of the extra spices with how i deal with my body and mind triad. as a 285 I am more blunt hardheaded and flamboyant than lets say your 296. just something to consider -- also fantastic video! was really excited to see how in depth you went with the basic enneagram theory.
i was looking for a tritypes / instincts comment because while i have been using the enneagram for a few years, i only started reading more about tritypes and instincts (and figuring out my stacking) during the pandemic last year. it was (and still is) such a journey of figuring myself out. i love that it adds more nuance to the already rich world of the enneagram!
Your videos are incredibly underrated! Definitely the best enneagram content out there and one of the best youtubers in my opinion. I desperately hope you continue to release more videos, and also get more views and the recognition you deserve. We desperately need more enneagram content that is informative, enjoyable, and well made like yours is. I saw this video when you first released it and come back to it often. As a type 9 I am continuing to try to wait patiently for more but all of your videos have already helped me so much in understanding myself and others. Thank you!
I actually watched this for writting purposes, someone suggested using it to build a character which I see as so helpful now....but also I thought this was such a great video. I felt like all of them were somewhat relatable and it was crap, then you explained 9 and I felt called out, then you explained how they could act like the others for different reasons and I felt super called out, then you got to 9 one on one and I was like OMG I am the guy with the dragon!!! You definitely helped me understand how it works and showed perfect examples of how they work with characters in a story. I'm going to have so much fun learning about it now and trying to incorporate it in my characters 💙💙💙
I think Aang is a 7w6. Left to his own devices, he seeks out new experiences, is spontaneous, and an entertainer. He demonstrates "look at me" and "running away" from conflict.
@@tesswinker2482 interesting take! I always viewed Aang as a 9w1, generally seeking peace but also having a very strong moral compass and sticking up for what is right when it “matters”
@@briannairene185 I think part of the peace seeking and morality is due to his upbringing. (He's a monk, after all.) When left to his own devices, Aang is optimistic, enjoys exciting new adventures, and loves to share.
This is excellent. I was expecting a lighthearted, shallow run through of a bunch of movie characters...instead I watched one of the best descriptions of the enneagram I've ever seen. I'm excited for the series; the characters you showed for the type 3 hit home already
I've been studying the Enneagram for almost five years, and this is one if the only youtube videos I have seen that does not misrepresent any of it, but rather presents in depth, while still being quite entertaining and easy to understand for those less familiar with it. Very good job. I'll be watching the rest of the series.
The enneagram was soooo helpful to me. I'm a One-to-one 1w2. Reading the description of 1's (for the test that I did), the first words were "Ones are idealists". In that moment so much of my life clicked into place. I recognised how so much of my world revolved around this perfect picture in my head and why I was constantly feeling dissatisfied with everything (because it wasn't living up to that ideal picture). Being given the framework and the dialogue to be able to navigate how I behave has really helped me come a long way - I can now identify when my ambitions are becoming too lofty, I can reduce the expectations I put on others, I can give myself credit for a project even if it didn't meet the picture in my head.
I am deeply impressed with how deeply you dive into the Enneagram! It is great that you look more into the different aspects of it, because without those I think it comes off as more 2D and inaccurate. However, I feel that the same can be said about MBTI. 16 personalities is not great and doesn't follow cognitive function stacking. I would recommend looking into that more if you are interested! Super fascinating and I also found it to be just as accurate!
I started reading up on the enneagram due to your video, and although finally reading The Complete Enneagram didn’t make me cry, it’s opened a huge window of self understanding for me. I was so squeamish reading the parts that seemed to speak directly to me. Thanks, man. This is big.
The Enneagram is super useful and sometimes I pair it with MBTI to get a deeper meaning. However, 16 personalities isn't valid and instead of looking at MBTI as a box look at it as preferences because we all have a little bit of each letter in us! It's also better to read on the Jungian cognitive functions instead! 😁
Though I agree with your sentiment, I would find 16 personalities accurate for anyone who does NOT want to go through an arduous process to figure out their type. MBTI is already complicated, even with accurate ways to type. Also please consider that no everybody necessarily cares for accurate info like you do. Believe it or not but some people take these tests for fun or simple insight. It is only if they want to learn more in depth that they would.
yay you're back! also...perfect timing considering i had just started looking more into MBTI and was thinking of giving Enneagrams another shot. i don't think i understood then well the first time (i blame being lazy and wanting to "be typed" for that)
12:30 except MBTI doesn’t work that way, the 16personalities test is an amalgam of big five and MBTI, what MBTI is really about is cognitive functions, but I do agree in terms of having enneagram as a very useful system (I’m an INTJ 5w4), also I really hope you can look up MBTI cognitive functions and make another video about how to associate characters with the functions they use
it bothers me so much that people have such a simplistic view of MBTI like nooo, arguably it dives just as deep as the enneagram. MBTI is so helpful and fun:) Greetings from an INFP 497, 4w5
@@elisabethlinsinbigler its because of 16 personalities and their test that people don't trust mbti. It makes sense tbh to distrust mbti when you only know about 4 dichotomies. I think when people start knowing about cognitive functions they do think its more valuable then what they thought of it as first
You did a good job with this. Drive and motivation definitely color people and characters help to elucidate this. I think the fact that enneagram focuses on trauma coping makes it weirdly vague in terms of usefulness for me personally, although I relate positively to at least 4 of the types which doesn’t seem to be what the test is after. I’m not really big on anyone living in a victim state so I get irritated when people never try to solve important problems or resolve important issues. I relate to the resolve of 8, the fun loving of 7, the deep thinking of 5 and the drive to accomplish of 3. I also relate strongly to the desire for others to learn to live at peace but more through resolving problems than by “going with the flow” like 9. Anyway I’m glad this was helpful for you and again, you put an excellent and very thoughtful video together here. Well done and God bless you :)
This was so well done! And I loved the different spin on typing movie characters, makes for a much more entertaining video :). I discovered enneagram last year and went into a deep dive watching videos about my type specifically (I typed myself as a 9w1, same as you!). You know you’ve found your type when you feel uncomfortable, and it’s so true! Excited to see more of this series.
Thank you, Josh! A friend had mentioned enneagrams and I had completely forgotten that I had made a deep study of Enneagrams 40 years ago. Watching this 15 min video back then would have saved me several thousand hours. No surprise that advancement of self-knowledge, transformational introspection, hard fought steps to ascension and liberation in this lifetime are being aided by starseeds like you! Thank you so much. You've made a great contribution! Love 'n Light best & cheers, Sean
I took a personality strengths and training class, and she assigned us different enneagram types to summarize for eachother, she gave me 4, I still think that was on purpose, I hated reading about it lmao, like squirming in my seat, I know it's not meant to be 100% accurate, but the book I was reading even mentioned certain albums and music the author (as a 4) listened to and it was like 👁️👄👁️ spot on, terrible and painful. Then when I shared with my therapist how helpful it had been making me realize a lot about myself, she chose to stress that it's not scientific and not to put too much faith in it. Which I personally don't believe I was, it had just taught me a lot about myself and I was excited to share about it. Personality tests are so stigmatized but if it helps someone become healthier and better? Why would you take the credit out of it? And ridicule them for using unconventional means for self realization? The enneagram and that personality class honestly helped me realize who I am, I was incredibly lost and confused, but that class helped us learn how to identify our flaws and strengths, and how to work with them. I think I wouldn't have realized who I am until I was much older. It's insane how much the enneagram showed me about myself
From what I can tell I'm a 4w5, awesome! The more I read about it, the more I feel like I'm finding out about myself, and what I can do to improve. Many thanks for directing me to this wonderful rabbit hole!
Absolutely. The Enneagram exposed not only the fears and weaknesses and behavior patterns I KNEW I had, but also ones I never even recognized. Mortifying is putting it lightly. But I'm a 5, so I still appreciate gaining more knowledge and insight and facts (not stereotypical at all), so I can stand it lol.
I like this video, but mbti goes beyond just intro-extro/ thinker-feeler. There are levels to it as well which get at the heart of it. They're called function stacks and like enneagram there are interplays between them that promote growth and inhibit it, they are similar in some fundamental principles. But yes this was very insightful ty.
For what it's worth, I've taken a number of online Enneagram tests, and they do result in roughly the same answer: 5w4. Reading the description of 5 is heartbreaking, and it's so strange for a person who generally feels so alienated, so uniquely messed up, to see their inner conflict elucidated to incisively accurately reflected in a "zodiac" that has only 1/9 chances to get it right. And great job with covering this.
Amazing editing and clear descriptions of the enneagram friend! I’m so glad this came up as I’ll be sharing it with everyone as a much clearer overview of the enneagram than I often describe. *I’d love to see a single movie analyzed with the main characters and villains
As an enfp 3w2 3 - achiever 2 - the helper I've came to a conclusion some months ago as to why I detach myself from my feelings when i feel endangered by them and when I found out about my new Enneagram thpe I felt even more understood. When I was younger, and I'm talking baby-toddler age, I was very independent (that's why I used to be 8w7) and hated being helped or filmed by a camera. Of course I don't remember those days but my parents mention bunch of stories all the time and they find it pretty comically funny how I would push my mother's hand out of way when she was feeding me or when I somehow called our neighbor and talked (gibberish) with him for 5 minutes and on and on it goes. Basically I never required any help or felt a need for it until I was in 4th grade. My friends would tell me about how their parents help them do their homework, pack them for school, help with math tasks and stuff like that meanwhile I never gotten any help because I always did it all myself thinking it was how everyone does it. And in that time, when I felt a need to ask for help, or more just the attention I wanted, it was way too unnatural to do so and I just repressed my emotions. It was hard for some time because my older sister, who was always dependant and didn't fear of seeming vulnerable or weak got most of the attention that wasn't used for me. Later on I found a way of getting the attention I needed by being too independent for my age, I would simply learn more about things that weren't in class, I started writing poetry (which I'm glad because I'm getting really good at it) and basically showing off in any way that I can so people notice me. And people did notice me and they still do, especially for my 'fearlessness' and independency, and so do my parents and family. But lately I've been getting comments that I seem too detached and cold, that I don't feel welcoming anymore. And that made me feel sick in the stomach because one of my biggest fears is to be all alone. So I help people in every way I can, anywhere, anytime but the thing is I'm not doing it for them, I'm doing it for me to feel safe and, although I feel safer when I help, I also feel quilt because it's not helping if it's not completely genuine, right? So now I'm stuck in this loop that I created myself but I never ask for help because I fear that if I do I'll lose all the respect and admiration I gained from people who adore my independent work, so instead I just show off how 'amazing' I am and even support and help them just to feel validated and embraced. Felt good getting that off my chest
3 years late, but heya~! I just wanted to let you know that there's nothing wrong with being vulnerable about your emotions, thoughts and feelings. Not to say that you should be vulnerable with everyone, but instead be selective with that vulnerability to those who truly care about you, want your happiness and well-being. You really won't find many true friends who would always listen to you and be faithful and consistent with you. Vulnerability takes immense courage, strength and anyone who says otherwise is an arrogant and cowardly fool that you should pay no mind. That goes for anyone whom you tried to be vulnerable with. I hope you're doing well right and wish you a good day~! - INFJ 5w4.
Sooooooo guess I’m a 2w1 sub one-to-one. Which means I become more of a 4 when I’m in growth and more of an 8 when I’m in stress. Yup. That’s me. This was great Josh! This is my first video of yours and it was so well made. I hope you don’t put too much pressure on yourself to be too perfectionist (we share a wing so I sense a kindred spirit.) you did great, my friend.
I’m a 9w1 too. I think 9s are the most commonly mistyped. I get a lot out of all the personality tests, but I agree the enneagram has help me the most. Nice video!
SP 9w1 here! I love the enneagram! After discovering it and reading into my type specifically I finally truly felt heard and understood, along with the rough reality shocks you mention. I try and get my friends to learn their enneagram both so I can get to know them on a deeper level but also I think everyone can learn a thing or two whether they choose to go super deep into it or not.
WARNING Ok so I'm gonna watch this series because I love the idea and my guy seems to have done his homework. But word of warning... I got into enneagram last year too and became obsessed. It was not good. The system clearly works for some people and I don't doubt it's helped a fair amount. But there is a possibility to be carried away and it's hard to forget about it. Maybe my response to the whole thing is just because of my type. But what I'm saying is proceed with caution. If you start identifying yourself with a type, even if it's a sub type with a wing etc. This in and of itself is no guarantee to help. You can always make new problems for yourself that don't have to exist. When doing research it's hard to find a type you don't identify with on some level. It's a fun idea for a series, like I said. It's also fun doing the test and seeing who you are like and 'ohh look I'm just like my favourite musician, actor, etc'. But just be careful and don't get carried away like I did:) Cause when it comes down to it, I did a fair amount of research into this system and the hardest part was not something I uncovered but realising I needed to stop.
This is so important to keep in mind when working with personality systems!! Thank you!! Don't ever let them put you in a box. What I love about the enneagram is that the whole theory revolves around becoming less like your type in order to grow as a person. When used in that way it can be very insightful and helpful for personal growth. It can definitely become a problem though if you turn it into an obsession. Thanks for sharing!!
@@Josh_Keefe I think I had similar problems with the MBTI. When I discovered the functions, it really took off for me. I was a bit obsessed. I did get bored and leave it and come back a couple times but I think it came around and was useful again. I was reading about internal family systems therapy and how our personalities tend to be naturally fragmented into different coping strategies that interact with each other. Basically they're tools we develop that can hurt us if we're unbalanced and let them take over our lives. In the book, the fragments were described and it hit me. These are functions. And later I heard a podcast about MBTI and they talked about how while type is good for identifying yourself, the goal is to go beyond type. Not that you're going to change your core person but if you're conscious of when you're using the coping strategies / fragments / functions, instead of just letting them control you / being stuck in your type, you'll be able to use them to your benefit.
Yes! Same warning can be found in the MBTI-sphere. A tool like MBTI or Enneagram cannot know you better than you know yourself. I think we're better off when we decline to identify with labels - and instead treat them as descriptors that apply to some greater or lesser degree. Similarly with political parties: over-identifying as an adherent of one party can cause you to lose part of your "self" in a sense, as you adopt party opinions to make the identification more true.
I loved the video, but I recommend learning about MBTI by cognitive functions, not by dichotomies. It's a great tool for self-discovery, paired with the Enneagram, Socionics, Big Five, etc (the more, the better, imo). The first time I started reading the experiences of people that share my MBTI type and what was inside their minds, I also cried like you said at the end of the video because I'd never felt so understood before. So, I think it's just as much of a useful tool that can impact a person's life for the better as the one you're presenting here. Much love!
i was gonna say the same thing. this video was great, but i can't help but feel as though he wasn't describing actual MBTI, but rather how one specific website portrays it.
Yess!!!! please!! I get so sad when people dismiss mbti based on the 16p system bc the cognitive functions are so much better and I find them extremely helpful
@@dangernoodle9961 Exactly, I feel the same! I guess I'm too emotionally invested with MBTI at this point that I want everyone to see its potential, lol
Not sure if there's specific types of people who gravitate towards one or the other. For myself I studied the heck out of the MBTI but never really had a shocking "woah" moment when it described me, in the same way I did for the Enneagram. But also I've never felt like a classical introvert or extrovert, don't really ever get burned out in crowds or groups, and I can stay home reading all day too (I realize it's more than that, but this sort of balance seemed to apply for me in multiple MBTI categories). I agree it still has value and it's best to look at multiple systems and see which ones click though.
I discovered eniagram 20 years ago and yes you are correct. It's the best out there and over the years check back in with my books. Great presentation and thorough thank you!
Wow! This video is legit!!! 😍😍😍😍 I’m a huge enneagram fan and I use it a lot in my personal development and even in my professional life as well. It’s so healing. Absolutely loved your video and appreciate all the time and effort you put into it!!
Thank you for the book recommendation. insanely powerful when used in conjunction with The Power of Now. On the journey to overcome past traumas and reach previously unimaginable heights!
Greetings from a fellow 9w1! Excellent video! Your perfectionism lends a hand to the quality of the content. It weighs me down to not even trying to commit to any of the projects I want to commit to action orz
Thank you. This is the best explanation for Eneagram that I’ve come across. It has been very confusing subject for me. Your video has helped bring more clarity.
Chefs kiss👌🏽 Thank you so much for putting this together! Perfect concise introduction video into the Enneagram journey! The Enneagram literally changed my life when I took my friend up on her recommendation and discovered my type. I will tell anyone who will listen about this amazing tool to self awareness, healing, and growth. The book you mentioned I refer to as the “bible” 😂. So great choice in reference! My father passed and I wasn’t able to figure out what type he was until I read that book. It’s been important to me to use the Enneagram to understand the people closest to me. Thanks again! Look forward to watching more content! And always up for an Enneagram discussion!
The accuracy of the traits of a 4 are scary, whilst I have heard that enneagrams are scientifically incorrect, I think they do have benefits as the compatibility of traits to people are oddly specific and true for the people I know
I read the type 4 description, expecting a blanket description that could be relatable to anyone, but I was screaming the whole read, I never read something that described me so much.
Excellent presentation, thank you for all your work. I discovered the enneagram over 20 years ago and I’ve accumulated a huge library of enneagram books. When I was teaching kids it was incredibly helpful and also with all my personal relationships. I still study it and I so agree it’s been amazing and embarrassing to face our behaviour. I always say that if you don’t cringe when you decide that’s your number you haven’t really faced the truth. I’m now 74 and I just have a huge passion for this model of human behaviour. My only regret is that it would have been so wonderful if I’d discovered it when I was very young and especially when I had children. Keep on spreading the word with your fabulous presentations. Loved the way you introduced the movie characters and your explanations for each personality. Sending from Australia, my warmest blessings, Mellaine🙏
I've been studying the enneagram for five or six years now and this is the best overview video I have seen!! So complete and easy to follow! Great job Josh!! As a 3W2 SP it has been a blessing to realize I don't have to work non-stop!!
My husband and I consider ourselves well versed in the enneagram and we think your presentation is utterly brilliant. You obviously put a lot of work, exactitude, time and thoughtfulness into this. I will pass this along to those I am trying to explain the enneagram to.
What an amazing video! So well put together. GREAT movie scene choices. I’ve seen them all so it was really a unique and relatable insight. I read a book about this anyway but honestly already forgot. I for sure am going to go back down that road. I was meant to see this. Well done. And thank you.
I like that you approach these systems for what they are, which is theories that can help understand your personalities, and not hard sciences on how you brain works.
Genuinely did not know that we fluctuate between different types! Paused this video halfway to go do more research on enneagrams and i learnt so much in the process! Thanks for all your hard work :)
It's so weird being in front of the camera this time. Hope you enjoyed it though! What characters would you like to see in the series? The enneagram was extremely beneficial for my mental health last year and it's something I've been deeply passionate about ever since. After spending almost an entire year researching the enneagram and watching countless character driven movies in preparation of doing a 10 part video series where I explore how characters in film portray each of the 9 types in depth, it's so good to finally share it all with you ❤❤❤
I cannot believe you said that after years of research. If you truly had researched it, you would have know how it was created, based on lies, and where it's coming from. The meaning of it, which is very dangerous and demonic. Please be careful.
@@plaindonut7145 demonic? o.0

Looking good! Happy to see your content pop up in my feed
It was cool seeing you in front of the camera. You did an amazing job. Also you have great hair! :D
"The Enneagram doesn't put you in a box, it shows you the box you put yourself in and how to get out."
Bruh. So good. This is easily one of the most grounded, informative, and entertaining videos I've seen on the Enneagram. I studied it a lot when I was working on my Psych degree. It's cool to see it slowly gaining traction, but for the most part, I've seen it more akin to horoscopes when being described by other channels.
"You are THIS or you are THAT. THIS is how you behave under THAT circumstance."
So I really liked the comparison of the different Nine's. I always looked at healthy levels, growth direction, and wings as the main cause for the difference of people within the same types. But I really liked your explanation of those 3 sub groups within the types.
When you explained reading about the 9 and how you reacted was exactly how I was when I first read about Six. It was like reading a self description of my inner self. And like you said about the box, the acknowledgement of areas within myself that im more prone to stumble allowed me to be able to work on them. (Conquering fears, trusting others, inward support vs external, etc). That's where I've found the Enneagram the most helpful.
Also in learning the types of those closest to me to better support them. Knowing my partners type allows me to love them in the way that's catered specifically to them. (Sort of like the different love language).
Anyway, all that to say, excellent job! Looking forward to more!

Hey, 6w7 here!
Hi! I was wondering... As you have a Psych Degree, was delving into psychoanalytics like the Enneagram encouraged? I was under the impression because it is not backed up by science, it shouldn’t be studied in a psychology course. I really hope that I am wrong because I feel the Enneagram is so insightful and transformative!
Hey! This was actually quoted from Ion Morgan Cron :)
a very good but not an original phrase. so many people have said this.
This is one of the most simplified, in depth video on the enneagram that I’ve ever seen. As a 5, who has over researched this, I knew all this before, but instead of me having to explain all this to people when I talk about it, I’ll just now send them this.
In short, enneagram is more about the person's internal fears, desires and motivations

_“Enneagram doesn’t put you in a box. It instead shows you the box you put yourself in and the way out.”_ - Josh Keefe
Ian Cron not Josh Keefe
Yes:)
He didn't creat that quote. It's from a book called "the wisdom of enneagram"
I loved that!
Well he didn't say how to get out. He said you can move to an other one or become a healthy version.. So how would you get out of the eneagram? 🤔
mbti isn't about the letters though, it's about cognitive functions. while the enneagram is concerned with motivations, mbti is more concerned with how people process information, so to speak. 16personalities does it no justice.
Yeah people need to know mbti is based on eight cognitive functions. And the best way to know more about one’s personality, i feel like we should use both cuz its more complete
MBTI is based on the letters, though. It's a system derived from the cognitive functions, so it's deterministic in nature. Instead of the functions determining your letters, it's the letters that determine your functions.
@@vivaleroca7511 but the functions do determinate your letters? all I've read about mbti that isn't 16p puts the functions above the letters. an intj is an intj because they use the stack NiTeSiFe, not the other way around.
@@9990zara if you've seen the MBTI tests and descriptions, they all type you according to four dichotomies, not functions. I'm saying that MBTI is a system that determines your cognitive functions, but cognitive functions are concepts that Jung created separately from and prior to MBTI.
Edit: Don't misunderstand me. The ideal setup would be the cognitive functions dictating your type (i.e., you prioritize Ne = ENxP). However, if you check the officially licensed MBTI tests on the internet used by practitioners (take note: MBTI tests are different from cognitive functions tests), they're typing you according to 4 letters before presenting to you your function stack, therefore, making it deterministic in nature. Say, you're an ENFP according to the MBTI test but you so happen to be a stronger Fe and Ti user (Ne-Fe-Ti-Si stack). Does that make you any less of an ENFP? Are you by definition an ENTP? Yes, ENTP would coincide with your function stack, but you prioritize your feeling over thinking that it's counter-intuitive to be labeled a thinker.
The point is that I'm not wrong when i say that MBTI determines your cognitive functions, but I'm also saying that this setup is deterministically flawed, so it's not worth boxing yourself in these 4 letters. Instead, learn about the cognitive functions that define your daily decisions and learn from them.
i would like to add mbti is not only about processing (gathering+organizing) information, as those are only for Si, Ne, Se, Ni. it’s also how we connect with others as well as what we place our identity on, which are done by Te, Fi, Ti, Fe.
I like how the advice section for type 4 can be summarized as "please go outside and touch some grass"
I hate how accurate that is. I’m a type 4 pretty sure and I go on hikes whenever I get too depressed.
lol i'm 4w3 and it's accurate though. unfortunately.
That’s way too specifically accurate 🥲
I’m an author and use the enneagram to help me write characters. It’s super useful for me since I have a lot of trouble understanding personalities, I would highly recommend it. I’ve even based the magic system on what type you are! (8s have barriers that can protect themself but if they let someone inside the barrier to protect them too, they’re extra vulnerable to them, 9s are physics who can look into other’s thoughts and memories but if they aren’t careful they can end up loosing part of themself, stuff like that!)
Is there a way we could read your books?
That sounds so sick. I, too, would love to read your stuff!
I'd like to hear about your magic system.
@@victorychibuzo1303 Yeah! The first two I’ve made I’m not planning on sharing with anyone but right now I’m working on another book that’ll be posted to Tapas for free. My account name is The_Syzygy_Epoch if you want to read it when it’s out :)

Yes, I definitely had a similarly deep experience with the enneagram, though also relate to my Myers Briggs type.
I'm a 9w1, too. I used to hate it, thinking I was weak or boring. I see now the beauty of being a peacemaker, and I grew to really love my type. 🥰
9w1 squad let’s go! I kinda agree, really wanted to be a 1 cuz they’re more just useful to society, but I like being able to relax
I'm that type too 😊❤
I really appreciate the realistic and accurate way you're introducing enneagram to people. You aren't making it more than it really is, and you aren't oversimplifying anything about it, while still making it digestable and easy to understand for newcomers.
Well said and I agree
Omg Josh - I have been studying the Enneagram for about 4 years, am a certified Enneagram Coach, and regularly use the Enneagram in my marriage and family therapy practice with clients. This is the BEST overview of the Enneagram I've ever seen. Thanks so much. 💖
That's awesome! Who have you gotten your certification through, if you don't mind me asking?
@@saycoach9119 Your Enneagram Coach
No way, I'm a Bullshit Coach, we have so much in common!
Totally agree. A+ presentation!
I've been studying the Enneagram for almost 7 years now and this is one of the BEST videos explaining the E-types for beginners; I will sharing this with so many people because I have gotten so MUCH awareness, healing & insight from The Enneagram.
This is an amazing breakdown. I’m also a fellow 9w1 and for years have been mistyped as a 2, because I was raised by a family of 2’s and 3’s and took on their energy of what to do and how to act, then in college up until early adulthood was mistyped as a 6, because I was a 9 in stress and had to know every detail before acting, felt like I was constantly walking on eggshells and moved into paranoia or full on action mode all of the time. Now that I know that I’m a 9, it feels right and I realize that all of my anxiety was triggered by not fitting in and wanting peace at all costs, so I twisted myself into what people wanted to achieve that peace. The Enneagram is an amazing tool. I’m a wing 1, so I’m looking forward to the other videos but I know that perfectionist streak hits hard lol. Thanks again x✨
Y’all should listen to Atlas: Enneagram by Sleeping at Last
that had me crying HARD (9)
Yes! That’s the other way to discover your type: which song makes you cry. 😭
Yep. "Three" got me good: "I finally see myself through the eyes of no one else"
YES I love Eight more than the other songs though, even though I'm a two lol
I love mine
As a type 6 myself, I think I speak for all of us when I say.... *Takes deep breath*

I hate being a six. I'm tired of the anxiety and as a one on one the relational stress is exhausting me.
@@martincronje5242 I know the feeling - it can feel like you're in a washing machine continuously spiralling. But hang in there, find what works for you and set boundaries to people who trigger it in you. I know I've had to.
I would love to see more examples of each type as healthy and unhealthy. As a 4, I’m bored with how my type is mostly portrayed as moody, slightly dark, etc. 4’s can be fun, playful, healthy, and organized too.
I feel that enneagram is most helpful when combined with each of our MBTI types for personal growth. The way he described MBTI in the video was not accurate at all, for it delves deep into theories such as the temperaments and cognitive functions which is much more helpful in understanding how we may perceive the world, make decisions, and behave. For example, an ENFP type four is likely not going to fit into the stereotype of fours being moody, dramatic, and selfish (though they could while unhealthy, but their natural demeanor of an ENFP is likely bubbly and joyful).
Tara Wagner Coaching I think he’s going to release a video for each type. He made a passing mention of it in the intro.
I personally think Amelie Poulain is a healthy 4 and she has all those characteristics. I have healthy 4s in my life and they are amazing people

Josh - I am genuinely impressed. As someone who has “formal” training in the Enneagram and who uses that training extensively as part of my job description, I think you have done a better job presenting the basic material in less than 15min than I have done in a 1/2 day training. Seriously. Well done. Thank you!
My only addition would be that in my experience, finding the right type can feel both vulnerable AND inspiring - not simply embarrassed and/or depressed. 😂 However, I agree that when we do find what resonates, we usually feel like someone has climbed inside our psyche!
How can you have a formal training in pseudoscience
@@JakeMGolle there’s books and classes taught about the enneagram, there’s no like college degrees on the enneagram but you can def take some classes on it. I’m guessing that’s what he meant my former training
Yes excellent point. I used to mention it to people I meet and noticed how many seemed intimidated by the possibility of better understanding themselves (or others), while a few were genuinely intrigued... to this day. I was just naive about defenses 👽
@@JakeMGolle Enneagram theory goes back several decades and there are several formal certification programs that are excellent and provide nuanced training on how to help people understand their type and use it as a tool for self-development. It is not pseudoscience.
I like that ideology as I feel the same when searching for my type.
Josh! This is hands down the best, concise, most compact description of Enneagram typology and archetypes that i've seen here on UA-cam!

This is the most comprehensive and shortest video I’ve ever seen of the enneagram. Nice job on all the work you put in.
I’m also a 9 and it gave me the language to communicate my inner self to others and myself.
This is my favorite take on the enneagram. I love using a combination of this and MBTI together for helping to understand better how people think and function differently from me.
Hey for anyone out there having trouble identifying themselves: There's a really neat band called Sleeping at Last with a whole album centered around the Enneagram. They have a song for each type.

That's a common misinterpretation of MBTI. That's what the test makes it seem like, but the cognitive function stack goes way deeper and is way more complex than what one can learn in a couple of years.
How helpful can a system be if it is so complex that it requires more than 2 years to understand??
@@meoric1 Why do you think a system has to be helpful in order to be cool?
@@sierrafarnum9689 Huh. I had not even considered "cool" as a factor to consider. My assumption is that people seek out this personality systems to better understand themselves and others around them ("helpful"). The MBTI itself claims to be helpful. If it's not, and it's just cool, it might as well be a buzzfeed quiz, something that's just for fun.
@@meoric1 16personalities MBTI uses extroversion vs introversion, intuition vs sensing, to form your MBTI personality which is completely different & inaccurate from actual MBTI. Real MBTI is based on the Jungian theory of cognitive functions such as Fe (extroverted feeling) or Ti (introverted thinking) etc. and it creates a stack of cognitive functions that you use the most based on your answers. Such an example is Ti-Ne-Si-Fe or INTP (where Ti is your dominant function, followed by Ne, you get the idea.) and isn't just an "are you introverted or extroverted" binary
Also it isn't as complicated as Sierra passes it off. You can understand the basics of cognitive functions in a couple days, and if you actually want to study it much more thoroughly for years, then why not. For its helpful aspect, there's things in MBTI called "loops". For example, let's have INTP's function stack Ti-Ne-Si-Fe. INTP can go into what's called an Ti-Si loop where it bypasses its auxiliary function, Ne (extroverted intuition), and goes straight to Si (introverted sensing), and its bad since they detach from the external world and gets stuck with Ti (which is basically analyzing very deeply & thinking internally) and Si (which is basically memory) going back and forth, which is very unhealthy as they get stuck in the past as opposed to if they had Ne as they normally would, which uses the information analyzed from Ti, and use it to find useful ways of moving forward. Learning and understanding these loops helps you avoid it. There are also tons of content out there that help teach you how to get out of these loops. This is super simplified, and reading into MBTI is definitely worth it, if you have the time.
@@joshuukun Thanks for the response!
When I first hear about the Enneagram, I was annoyed because all my friends kept saying, “I’m a 8 so that means...” or “you’re definitely a 4 because...” and they wouldn’t shut up about it. They kept nagging me to take a test online and I did....three times....I got a 2, 6 and a 7. I came to the conclusion that the enneagram wasn’t helpful but just another way to box others in. (Honestly, I was more annoyed with the enneagram because of my friends)
BUT, after watching your video, I’m starting to see why the Enneagram was made. I didn’t even know about the subtypes within each number. I’m interested in learning more in depth about this tool and how it works. Also as a lover of film and diving into in-depth character and worlds, I would love to see how certain movie characters embody these types.
Thanks for helping me get a better understanding! I’m glad it’s helped you
I feel the same about zodiac, there’s sun signs and moons signs as well as natal charts and ascending/descending.... basically astrology was a real knowledge and science practiced around the world but too many teens and young adults these days just box people into stereotypes like “aries are wreckless” then make dumb ig posts, tbh it’s fucking annoying and it made it hate the zodiac even though I was so interested in it
type 4s watching this to figure out their identity is the most type 4 thing ever
I loved this series. This video an the other three released so far dive deeper into the types and what drives them than any others I've seen, and I wish I had this resource when I was first learning about this stuff 5-10 years ago. I know it's a huge effort to make these videos, especially at this high level of quality (from one 9w1 to another, I get it) -- but I hope and pray that Josh finds the time and space to make the other 6 in the series someday!
I’ve found that incorporating ones Enneatype with their MBTI typing helps in formulating a more complete design of ones psyche. The enneatype is the liquid poured through the MBTI filter. For instance my Sx/Sp 9w1 shines through my INFP (Fi-Ne-Si-Te) lens and extending to even our shadow functions. It helps in understanding the detrimental nature of ones enneatype based fears and how they present in the inferior and shadow functions of MBTI to truly challenge those fears and promote growth. Also awesome job on this video! You explained everything thoroughly and succinctly, which is very hard to do with such hefty subject matter.
Maybe MBTI isn’t for everyone, but 16 personalities is not real MBTI.
It’s a good place to start, though. Getting multiple types from 16p and researching them in depth helped me to figure out my actual type
I have a question, can I have between two or three of the 16 personalities at the same time? because I have investigated a lot about them but I find myself rotating between the three in my daily life.
@@user-xq9cx9ky9m no, you only have one type. cognitive functions
It pushed me to do more research about MBTI but then again I do that with everything 😭🤚
psychology on seattle podcast has an episode or two about mbti, it was very informative imo so I recommend it.
This is hands down the BEST enneagram explanation video I've seen yet! I recently got into the enneagram system after years of being into the MBTI personalities. I found the enneagram's description of the 9 to be far more pointed and accurate than MBTI's description of the ISFJ (my personality types :) ) Great job on this!

adding onto this, if youre wondering why some characters seem vastly different despite having the same core type there is a theory that complicates things called tritypes. this engages each triad of the enneagram. im a 2w3 sx/so but i still act vastly different than other 2s (not only because of instinctual variants) but also because of the extra spices with how i deal with my body and mind triad. as a 285 I am more blunt hardheaded and flamboyant than lets say your 296. just something to consider -- also fantastic video! was really excited to see how in depth you went with the basic enneagram theory.
i was looking for a tritypes / instincts comment because while i have been using the enneagram for a few years, i only started reading more about tritypes and instincts (and figuring out my stacking) during the pandemic last year. it was (and still is) such a journey of figuring myself out. i love that it adds more nuance to the already rich world of the enneagram!
Your videos are incredibly underrated!
Definitely the best enneagram content out there and one of the best youtubers in my opinion. I desperately hope you continue to release more videos, and also get more views and the recognition you deserve. We desperately need more enneagram content that is informative, enjoyable, and well made like yours is.
I saw this video when you first released it and come back to it often.
As a type 9 I am continuing to try to wait patiently for more but all of your videos have already helped me so much in understanding myself and others. Thank you!
I actually watched this for writting purposes, someone suggested using it to build a character which I see as so helpful now....but also I thought this was such a great video. I felt like all of them were somewhat relatable and it was crap, then you explained 9 and I felt called out, then you explained how they could act like the others for different reasons and I felt super called out, then you got to 9 one on one and I was like OMG I am the guy with the dragon!!!
You definitely helped me understand how it works and showed perfect examples of how they work with characters in a story. I'm going to have so much fun learning about it now and trying to incorporate it in my characters 💙💙💙
THIS WAS SO WELL DONE!! 🎉 can’t wait for the full series! (Please include Avatar the Last Airbender characters!)
I think Aang is a 7w6. Left to his own devices, he seeks out new experiences, is spontaneous, and an entertainer. He demonstrates "look at me" and "running away" from conflict.
@@tesswinker2482 interesting take! I always viewed Aang as a 9w1, generally seeking peace but also having a very strong moral compass and sticking up for what is right when it “matters”
I have also thought of Katara as a 1w2. Very rigid about what the “right” thing to do is but also falls into that caretaker role.
@@briannairene185 Makes sense!
@@briannairene185 I think part of the peace seeking and morality is due to his upbringing. (He's a monk, after all.) When left to his own devices, Aang is optimistic, enjoys exciting new adventures, and loves to share.

This is excellent. I was expecting a lighthearted, shallow run through of a bunch of movie characters...instead I watched one of the best descriptions of the enneagram I've ever seen. I'm excited for the series; the characters you showed for the type 3 hit home already
I've been studying the Enneagram for almost five years, and this is one if the only youtube videos I have seen that does not misrepresent any of it, but rather presents in depth, while still being quite entertaining and easy to understand for those less familiar with it. Very good job. I'll be watching the rest of the series.
"The enneagram doesn’t put you in a box, instead shows the box you’ve put yourself in and the way out" That was such a great line! Thanks!
The enneagram was soooo helpful to me. I'm a One-to-one 1w2. Reading the description of 1's (for the test that I did), the first words were "Ones are idealists". In that moment so much of my life clicked into place. I recognised how so much of my world revolved around this perfect picture in my head and why I was constantly feeling dissatisfied with everything (because it wasn't living up to that ideal picture). Being given the framework and the dialogue to be able to navigate how I behave has really helped me come a long way - I can now identify when my ambitions are becoming too lofty, I can reduce the expectations I put on others, I can give myself credit for a project even if it didn't meet the picture in my head.
I am deeply impressed with how deeply you dive into the Enneagram! It is great that you look more into the different aspects of it, because without those I think it comes off as more 2D and inaccurate. However, I feel that the same can be said about MBTI. 16 personalities is not great and doesn't follow cognitive function stacking. I would recommend looking into that more if you are interested! Super fascinating and I also found it to be just as accurate!
I started reading up on the enneagram due to your video, and although finally reading The Complete Enneagram didn’t make me cry, it’s opened a huge window of self understanding for me. I was so squeamish reading the parts that seemed to speak directly to me. Thanks, man. This is big.
The Enneagram is super useful and sometimes I pair it with MBTI to get a deeper meaning. However, 16 personalities isn't valid and instead of looking at MBTI as a box look at it as preferences because we all have a little bit of each letter in us! It's also better to read on the Jungian cognitive functions instead! 😁
Though I agree with your sentiment, I would find 16 personalities accurate for anyone who does NOT want to go through an arduous process to figure out their type. MBTI is already complicated, even with accurate ways to type. Also please consider that no everybody necessarily cares for accurate info like you do. Believe it or not but some people take these tests for fun or simple insight. It is only if they want to learn more in depth that they would.
@@thelonestar-l9nk but it is annoying when this people spread misinformation or type characters wrong on personality database
ANYTHING you are passionate about enough to try to educate and do good with is NOT stupid. Thank you for sharing this with us ✨
yay you're back!
also...perfect timing considering i had just started looking more into MBTI and was thinking of giving Enneagrams another shot.
i don't think i understood then well the first time (i blame being lazy and wanting to "be typed" for that)
You've made some of my fav videos on UA-cam, glad you're back!!
12:30 except MBTI doesn’t work that way, the 16personalities test is an amalgam of big five and MBTI, what MBTI is really about is cognitive functions, but I do agree in terms of having enneagram as a very useful system (I’m an INTJ 5w4), also I really hope you can look up MBTI cognitive functions and make another video about how to associate characters with the functions they use
it bothers me so much that people have such a simplistic view of MBTI like nooo, arguably it dives just as deep as the enneagram. MBTI is so helpful and fun:) Greetings from an INFP 497, 4w5
@@elisabethlinsinbigler its because of 16 personalities and their test that people don't trust mbti. It makes sense tbh to distrust mbti when you only know about 4 dichotomies. I think when people start knowing about cognitive functions they do think its more valuable then what they thought of it as first
Lol same haha
im an INTJ 8w7

You did a good job with this. Drive and motivation definitely color people and characters help to elucidate this. I think the fact that enneagram focuses on trauma coping makes it weirdly vague in terms of usefulness for me personally, although I relate positively to at least 4 of the types which doesn’t seem to be what the test is after. I’m not really big on anyone living in a victim state so I get irritated when people never try to solve important problems or resolve important issues. I relate to the resolve of 8, the fun loving of 7, the deep thinking of 5 and the drive to accomplish of 3. I also relate strongly to the desire for others to learn to live at peace but more through resolving problems than by “going with the flow” like 9. Anyway I’m glad this was helpful for you and again, you put an excellent and very thoughtful video together here. Well done and God bless you :)
Not sure if you're coming back but I'll subscribe and wait for type 4 ❤
This was so well done! And I loved the different spin on typing movie characters, makes for a much more entertaining video :). I discovered enneagram last year and went into a deep dive watching videos about my type specifically (I typed myself as a 9w1, same as you!). You know you’ve found your type when you feel uncomfortable, and it’s so true! Excited to see more of this series.
This video got me into Enneagram, and I thank you. It truly is more enlightening and less self-patting than mbti!
It's always satisfying to see myself put in the same box as Gandalf
Thank you, Josh! A friend had mentioned enneagrams and I had completely forgotten that I had made a deep study of Enneagrams 40 years ago. Watching this 15 min video back then would have saved me several thousand hours. No surprise that advancement of self-knowledge, transformational introspection, hard fought steps to ascension and liberation in this lifetime are being aided by starseeds like you! Thank you so much. You've made a great contribution!
Love 'n Light best & cheers,

"The enneagram doesn't put you in a box, instead it shows you the box you put yourself in and the way out." Whaaaa! Great stuff!
I took a personality strengths and training class, and she assigned us different enneagram types to summarize for eachother, she gave me 4, I still think that was on purpose, I hated reading about it lmao, like squirming in my seat, I know it's not meant to be 100% accurate, but the book I was reading even mentioned certain albums and music the author (as a 4) listened to and it was like 👁️👄👁️ spot on, terrible and painful. Then when I shared with my therapist how helpful it had been making me realize a lot about myself, she chose to stress that it's not scientific and not to put too much faith in it. Which I personally don't believe I was, it had just taught me a lot about myself and I was excited to share about it. Personality tests are so stigmatized but if it helps someone become healthier and better? Why would you take the credit out of it? And ridicule them for using unconventional means for self realization? The enneagram and that personality class honestly helped me realize who I am, I was incredibly lost and confused, but that class helped us learn how to identify our flaws and strengths, and how to work with them. I think I wouldn't have realized who I am until I was much older. It's insane how much the enneagram showed me about myself
I agree! & Woah, which book depicted types by their music interests?
This is literally so good. I'm waiting with anticipation for more of these. Will be sharing this with my entire life coaching class.
Same! Can't wait for the 4 and 5 vids especially :]
Pov: you know the functions and you start inner screaming when he talked about mbti.
yes 😩 16 personalities gave it such a bad name, i hate it so much
IT PAINED ME
blame it on 16 personalities…
Pls, I saw that website....... 🙃
PAIN
From what I can tell I'm a 4w5, awesome! The more I read about it, the more I feel like I'm finding out about myself, and what I can do to improve. Many thanks for directing me to this wonderful rabbit hole!
Just came across this channel and found your content so cool! Sad to see this channel hasn't been active in 2 years.
i have never more understood when i saw the core fear of type 4, never felt soo understood in my life
The Enneagram: The Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known
The accuracy hurts lol 😂
...Maybe you're a 4. ;-) (Not that I'd dream of typing someone else!)
Absolutely. The Enneagram exposed not only the fears and weaknesses and behavior patterns I KNEW I had, but also ones I never even recognized. Mortifying is putting it lightly. But I'm a 5, so I still appreciate gaining more knowledge and insight and facts (not stereotypical at all), so I can stand it lol.
That's such a type 5 thing to say!
I like this video, but mbti goes beyond just intro-extro/ thinker-feeler. There are levels to it as well which get at the heart of it. They're called function stacks and like enneagram there are interplays between them that promote growth and inhibit it, they are similar in some fundamental principles. But yes this was very insightful ty.
I have been studying enneagram enthusiastically and i can say this video is just perfect. perfection
For what it's worth, I've taken a number of online Enneagram tests, and they do result in roughly the same answer: 5w4. Reading the description of 5 is heartbreaking, and it's so strange for a person who generally feels so alienated, so uniquely messed up, to see their inner conflict elucidated to incisively accurately reflected in a "zodiac" that has only 1/9 chances to get it right. And great job with covering this.
Really great breakdown of the enneagram. Looking forward to this series!
This is the best thing my recommended tab has ever shown me
Amazing editing and clear descriptions of the enneagram friend! I’m so glad this came up as I’ll be sharing it with everyone as a much clearer overview of the enneagram than I often describe.

As an enfp 3w2
3 - achiever
2 - the helper
I've came to a conclusion some months ago as to why I detach myself from my feelings when i feel endangered by them and when I found out about my new Enneagram thpe I felt even more understood.
When I was younger, and I'm talking baby-toddler age, I was very independent (that's why I used to be 8w7) and hated being helped or filmed by a camera. Of course I don't remember those days but my parents mention bunch of stories all the time and they find it pretty comically funny how I would push my mother's hand out of way when she was feeding me or when I somehow called our neighbor and talked (gibberish) with him for 5 minutes and on and on it goes. Basically I never required any help or felt a need for it until I was in 4th grade. My friends would tell me about how their parents help them do their homework, pack them for school, help with math tasks and stuff like that meanwhile I never gotten any help because I always did it all myself thinking it was how everyone does it. And in that time, when I felt a need to ask for help, or more just the attention I wanted, it was way too unnatural to do so and I just repressed my emotions. It was hard for some time because my older sister, who was always dependant and didn't fear of seeming vulnerable or weak got most of the attention that wasn't used for me. Later on I found a way of getting the attention I needed by being too independent for my age, I would simply learn more about things that weren't in class, I started writing poetry (which I'm glad because I'm getting really good at it) and basically showing off in any way that I can so people notice me. And people did notice me and they still do, especially for my 'fearlessness' and independency, and so do my parents and family. But lately I've been getting comments that I seem too detached and cold, that I don't feel welcoming anymore. And that made me feel sick in the stomach because one of my biggest fears is to be all alone. So I help people in every way I can, anywhere, anytime but the thing is I'm not doing it for them, I'm doing it for me to feel safe and, although I feel safer when I help, I also feel quilt because it's not helping if it's not completely genuine, right? So now I'm stuck in this loop that I created myself but I never ask for help because I fear that if I do I'll lose all the respect and admiration I gained from people who adore my independent work, so instead I just show off how 'amazing' I am and even support and help them just to feel validated and embraced.
Felt good getting that off my chest
3 years late, but heya~! I just wanted to let you know that there's nothing wrong with being vulnerable about your emotions, thoughts and feelings. Not to say that you should be vulnerable with everyone, but instead be selective with that vulnerability to those who truly care about you, want your happiness and well-being. You really won't find many true friends who would always listen to you and be faithful and consistent with you. Vulnerability takes immense courage, strength and anyone who says otherwise is an arrogant and cowardly fool that you should pay no mind. That goes for anyone whom you tried to be vulnerable with. I hope you're doing well right and wish you a good day~!
- INFJ 5w4.
This is amazing content, Josh! I do hope you find the time to continue the series - you are a gem!
Sooooooo guess I’m a 2w1 sub one-to-one. Which means I become more of a 4 when I’m in growth and more of an 8 when I’m in stress. Yup. That’s me. This was great Josh! This is my first video of yours and it was so well made. I hope you don’t put too much pressure on yourself to be too perfectionist (we share a wing so I sense a kindred spirit.) you did great, my friend.
I’m a 9w1 too. I think 9s are the most commonly mistyped. I get a lot out of all the personality tests, but I agree the enneagram has help me the most.
Nice video!
I was mistyped as a 9 originally so you might be right
I'm a 9w1 as well and it really really fits me in the worst way, especially when considering that I'm an INFJas well.
Lol I am also a 9w1 and INFJ ^^
The UA-cam algorithm really knows what I like to see
My favorite all encompassing enneagram video! Thanks for all your hard work in putting this together!
This is by far the best summation of Enneagram I’ve ever found! Great video.
SP 9w1 here! I love the enneagram! After discovering it and reading into my type specifically I finally truly felt heard and understood, along with the rough reality shocks you mention. I try and get my friends to learn their enneagram both so I can get to know them on a deeper level but also I think everyone can learn a thing or two whether they choose to go super deep into it or not.
WARNING
Ok so I'm gonna watch this series because I love the idea and my guy seems to have done his homework. But word of warning...
I got into enneagram last year too and became obsessed. It was not good.
The system clearly works for some people and I don't doubt it's helped a fair amount. But there is a possibility to be carried away and it's hard to forget about it.
Maybe my response to the whole thing is just because of my type. But what I'm saying is proceed with caution. If you start identifying yourself with a type, even if it's a sub type with a wing etc. This in and of itself is no guarantee to help.
You can always make new problems for yourself that don't have to exist. When doing research it's hard to find a type you don't identify with on some level.
It's a fun idea for a series, like I said. It's also fun doing the test and seeing who you are like and 'ohh look I'm just like my favourite musician, actor, etc'. But just be careful and don't get carried away like I did:)
Cause when it comes down to it, I did a fair amount of research into this system and the hardest part was not something I uncovered but realising I needed to stop.
This is so important to keep in mind when working with personality systems!! Thank you!! Don't ever let them put you in a box. What I love about the enneagram is that the whole theory revolves around becoming less like your type in order to grow as a person. When used in that way it can be very insightful and helpful for personal growth. It can definitely become a problem though if you turn it into an obsession. Thanks for sharing!!
@@Josh_Keefe I think I had similar problems with the MBTI. When I discovered the functions, it really took off for me. I was a bit obsessed. I did get bored and leave it and come back a couple times but I think it came around and was useful again. I was reading about internal family systems therapy and how our personalities tend to be naturally fragmented into different coping strategies that interact with each other. Basically they're tools we develop that can hurt us if we're unbalanced and let them take over our lives. In the book, the fragments were described and it hit me. These are functions. And later I heard a podcast about MBTI and they talked about how while type is good for identifying yourself, the goal is to go beyond type. Not that you're going to change your core person but if you're conscious of when you're using the coping strategies / fragments / functions, instead of just letting them control you / being stuck in your type, you'll be able to use them to your benefit.
Yes! Same warning can be found in the MBTI-sphere. A tool like MBTI or Enneagram cannot know you better than you know yourself.
I think we're better off when we decline to identify with labels - and instead treat them as descriptors that apply to some greater or lesser degree.
Similarly with political parties: over-identifying as an adherent of one party can cause you to lose part of your "self" in a sense, as you adopt party opinions to make the identification more true.
Sounds like youre a 5w6 or 6w5
@@clarabrarurerr2065 me?
I loved the video, but I recommend learning about MBTI by cognitive functions, not by dichotomies. It's a great tool for self-discovery, paired with the Enneagram, Socionics, Big Five, etc (the more, the better, imo). The first time I started reading the experiences of people that share my MBTI type and what was inside their minds, I also cried like you said at the end of the video because I'd never felt so understood before. So, I think it's just as much of a useful tool that can impact a person's life for the better as the one you're presenting here. Much love!
i was gonna say the same thing. this video was great, but i can't help but feel as though he wasn't describing actual MBTI, but rather how one specific website portrays it.
@@artangel1589 Glad to know I was not the only one that noticed!
Yess!!!! please!! I get so sad when people dismiss mbti based on the 16p system bc the cognitive functions are so much better and I find them extremely helpful
@@dangernoodle9961 Exactly, I feel the same! I guess I'm too emotionally invested with MBTI at this point that I want everyone to see its potential, lol
Not sure if there's specific types of people who gravitate towards one or the other. For myself I studied the heck out of the MBTI but never really had a shocking "woah" moment when it described me, in the same way I did for the Enneagram. But also I've never felt like a classical introvert or extrovert, don't really ever get burned out in crowds or groups, and I can stay home reading all day too (I realize it's more than that, but this sort of balance seemed to apply for me in multiple MBTI categories). I agree it still has value and it's best to look at multiple systems and see which ones click though.
I discovered eniagram 20 years ago and yes you are correct. It's the best out there and over the years check back in with my books. Great presentation and thorough thank you!
Wow! This video is legit!!! 😍😍😍😍 I’m a huge enneagram fan and I use it a lot in my personal development and even in my professional life as well. It’s so healing. Absolutely loved your video and appreciate all the time and effort you put into it!!

The accuracy of the traits of a 4 are scary, whilst I have heard that enneagrams are scientifically incorrect, I think they do have benefits as the compatibility of traits to people are oddly specific and true for the people I know
I read the type 4 description, expecting a blanket description that could be relatable to anyone, but I was screaming the whole read, I never read something that described me so much.
The enneagram definitely has practical value in the personal development and coaching space. The evidence is in the results!
@@GirlDo3 “could be relatable to anyone” uhhhh not rlly mate 😭
It's called subjective validation, or the barnum effect. It's why these things seem oddly specific and true to you.
@@JakeMGolle lol
Excellent presentation, thank you for all your work. I discovered the enneagram over 20 years ago and I’ve accumulated a huge library of enneagram books. When I was teaching kids it was incredibly helpful and also with all my personal relationships.
I still study it and I so agree it’s been amazing and embarrassing to face our behaviour. I always say that if you don’t cringe when you decide that’s your number you haven’t really faced the truth. I’m now 74 and I just have a huge passion for this model of human behaviour. My only regret is that it would have been so wonderful if I’d discovered it when I was very young and especially when I had children.
Keep on spreading the word with your fabulous presentations.
Loved the way you introduced the movie characters and your explanations for each personality.
Sending from Australia, my warmest blessings, Mellaine🙏
I've been studying the enneagram for five or six years now and this is the best overview video I have seen!! So complete and easy to follow! Great job Josh!! As a 3W2 SP it has been a blessing to realize I don't have to work non-stop!!
My husband and I consider ourselves well versed in the enneagram and we think your presentation is utterly brilliant. You obviously put a lot of work, exactitude, time and thoughtfulness into this. I will pass this along to those I am trying to explain the enneagram to.
What an amazing video! So well put together. GREAT movie scene choices. I’ve seen them all so it was really a unique and relatable insight. I read a book about this anyway but honestly already forgot. I for sure am going to go back down that road. I was meant to see this. Well done. And thank you.
WELCOME BACK KING
I like that you approach these systems for what they are, which is theories that can help understand your personalities, and not hard sciences on how you brain works.
Genuinely did not know that we fluctuate between different types! Paused this video halfway to go do more research on enneagrams and i learnt so much in the process! Thanks for all your hard work :)
