I’m married to a 7 as well (or at least that’s what I think; I know we’re not supposed to type other people, ha). With me being a 5, I need his spontaneity to balance out my rigid scheduling tendencies. 🙂 But you’re right that often what attracts us in the beginning is sometimes what annoys us later. There’s probably an enneagram thought about that as well. ha.

I appreciate your concern, Charlotte. Like the other personality systems, this one is just another way to look at ourselves and others as we grow in faith, not as a replacement for scriptural truths. If it’s not helpful to you as you grow in God, I would set it aside.

I hear you, Gayl. 🙂 I thought I was a One for a long while, but now I think I’m a Five. What helped me was hearing others talk about being their numbers, and I could see who I most related to. I listen to Ian Morgan Cron’s podcast Typology and it’s been interesting and helpful (even if I wasn’t into the Enneagram!).

I heard that Ian Morgan Cron is having a workshop at his home with 40 people, max. Wouldn’t that be a wonderful event to attend? But not for me in this season. Hope you’re having a blessed weekend yourself, Jean.

Me, too, Sarah! Sometimes it feels weird reading things that hit so close to home with my own personality, but it does help me see myself clearer (for better and for worse), so it makes it worthwhile.
