People, please read about it before reporting me. I’m getting tired of getting account suspensions 3x a week
Enneagram categorized me as a “sexual 5"
I run into many more 1,3 and 6s in this biz. Although I am an 8
What’s your reasoning?
I’m a 7 myself; I don’t know if there’s any correlation between consulting and enneagram type.
I feel like a lot of strategy consultants are super intense, aggressive, and relatively enjoy conflict. Also due to the nature of the job there wouldn’t be a lot of 9s. I think 7w8 are popular too due to the fact that we have to entertain, but also have strong opinions.
To summarize
1. Consulting inherently brings conflict (you’re bound to have intense clients) (8s)
2. You have to be very confident, driven, and good at entertaining (which attracts more 7s, 3s)
I am a 5w4 but more and more I find myself acting like an 8
I'm a 6w5 for sure!
You think most are 8’s? I would’ve imagined the majority would be 3’s, the achievers.
I’m a 7, but agree feel 8s are more like ENTJs which you find a lot in consulting
Depending on the person, there are moments when we reflect any one of the nine points. Also don’t forget, depends on whether you are stressed or relaxed, yet ascend and descend into different points depending on the moment. Successful MC types tend to fall into the types of 2, 6, 8 and 9 and their wings. MC types that do not seem to find longevity tend to be 1, 3, 4 and 7. Five can go either way depending on their work. 5’s are great risk people but get bogged down on the people oriented MC side. Great at delivery, not so much at sales. 3 and 8 tends to be what many people gravitate towards when self identifying. It speaks to their ideal self. High operating 8’s get the job done in a balanced and productive way, capable of making hard decisions that stand the test of time. Low operating 8’s for the most part, kind of get the job done, results don’t seem to survive over time and are loathed along with leaving a nasty bloody wake in their path.
I’m a true 8! However 2 was my second type. I believe it’s very accurate.
Between type 2,5,7
I’m a 2w3 and an ENTJ 😆 seems like they wouldn’t go together. What’s interesting is when 2s are “stressed” they become 8. When 8s are at their best their 2. I genuinely like helping people but can get confrontational like an 8.
Yeah it’s super interesting. What you become when you’re in stress or security is extremely important... especially in consulting. I’m a 9 and can be either a 6 or a 3 depending on what environment I’m in
