growth

I'm an Enneagram 9 dedicated to personal growth. My mother was a very religious co-dependent 6 and our Pastor was a type 1, harsh fundamentalist. The growth path for the 9 type is about seeing yourself as an individual, asserting yourself, loving yourself, and having your own opinions. The idea...

Why knowing yourself is the first step of your journey. Today we have Joel Mark Witt and Antonia Dodge from Personality Hacker speaking to us on the importance of knowing your personality type. They understand the coding language of the mind and how you can use it to create success in...

Hello everyone! Been lurking for quite some time now and just decided to start participating. I found out I'm an INTJ a little less than a year ago by reading online about introversion, feeling out of place and self discovery. I've learn a lot about myself now and I'm interested on still...

Hi all, Check out this link about how to integrate (or grow) for each enneagram type/wing/instinctual stacking combination: enneagramintegration.com

For a year and a half, I (the ENFP male) was dating an ESFJ (female). I broke it off. However, I've been recently reconsidering getting back together. We recently talked about where we failed each other, could have tried harder, and reflected on what we've learned apart. PROS: we have...

Hey, all! I'm new to this forum, and I've enjoyed reading everyone's insightful posts and comments so far. Nice to meet you! I have been (for lack of a better term) "obsessed" with the MBTI framework for a few years but was stuck overanalyzing the four-letter combinations and dichotomies. I...

Dear Fellow ENFPs, Healthy ENFPs are confident and assertive, this doesn't happen overnight. I choose a career in sales and below are the lessons that have brought growth in truly being more confident, I am sharing this in hopes that it will help other fellow ENFPs get what they want...

Hi ENFPs/ENFP-stalkers! I've got a question (last paragraph) but first I wanted to explain why I'm asking: I'm a recent graduate from a four year university course, and I feel like in those four years I have grown into my personality in a way that would never have happened at home - contact...

Yeah, I know, this is the second blog in the same night, but I've been drinking, so whatever... I just felt the need to share... Experience life. Go live it, take pictures, and experience it. I've been to war twice. The first time I wish we had the digital picture capability that we have...

Here's something that I just shared with someone. I don't know why I wrote so much, maybe it's because I've had several drinks, or maybe because they may be able to learn from me... not that I expect they will.... I think I may also have because I'm still trying to understand myself and...

My quill pen and ink set arrived yesterday. Pretty excited to start using it. I tested it on some plain paper yesterday and started to realize how much I had forgotten about writing cursive over the years. My leather bound notebook should be arriving by tomorrow. It has thicker paper in it...

　 Could there be a connection between an Eight's "Big Lie" of maintaining a sense of internal control/power, and an insecure link to 2-growth and 5-disintegration? 　 　 　The example from my life that brought this to light: 　 　 　 Thoughts? 　 　 　

Emotional pain is such a strange thing. When we fear, it's always fear of pain. The pain of loss. The pain of separation. The pain of growth. The pain of understanding. The pain of change. As instinctual animals, this served us well in regards to physical pain. As a primal being, if our main...

So you are fit, can do 50 pushups, squats, burpees, crunches, leg levers and so on, you have full body strength, endurance and speed, but you aren't gaining mass and you WANT mass. What should you do? How can you build muscle? Its not that hard and you don't need to pump iron either. The goal...

I desire to become my highest self. I am seeking wisdom on how to go about doing this. What does that look like? How do I approach realizing this idealized self? Should I develop myself to become more balanced? More disciplined? Better at implementation? Should I actually follow through with...

Hi everyone! I think we can all agree that there are healthy and unhealthy versions of every personality type, but I was wondering what a healthy, balanced INFP would be like. In what parts are INFPs able to grow? You can also comment about experiences with unhealthy INFPs, so we are warned...

My type: Relational Nine Learning about my enneagram type has allowed me to see myself and what I need to improve on in ways MBTI has not. For years, I've been an unhealthy 9 and I didn't even realize how paralyzed I was making myself and how I was the cause of many of my problems/complaints...

Hello fellow ISFJ's! :happy: Now, this question has been stuck in my brain for awhile now and I was wondering if you guys ever experienced or felt like this sometime in you lives? I was scrolling through some mbti posts on tumblr and I came across of this one bloggers post of possibly typing...

Hey fellow ENTJs. Been a long time since I've been on this forum. Here is my question - How important is self improvement to you? Also mention your favourite self help/improvement resources and the results of your personal self improvement journey.

Hey Folks, I've read that each type has a corresponding growth type, which is essentially the reversal of the last three letters in your 4-letter acronym. INFP->ISTJ INFJ->ISTP INTP->ISFJ INTJ->ISFP ISFP->INTJ ISFJ->INTP ISTP->INFJ ISTJ->INFP ENFP->ESTJ ENFJ->ESTP ENTP->ESFJ ENTJ->ESFP...
