You and me both!

It hurts so good

Well.. I'm not really qualified to speak to that, but I'm assuming that since you're commenting on the Type Four video that you identify as a Four? From an Enneagram perspective, I *highly* recommend Beatrice Chestnut's "The Enneagram Guide to Waking Up." It's the most simple, practical book I've found for real growth through the lens of the Enneagram. For Type Four, that has to do with finding ways to integrate pain, shadow, suffering, inadequacy, etc. Obviously I don't know the specifics of your situation but I'd encourage you to press on. There's always hope and growth.

@@TypeCast ohh I'm in The Netherlands!

@@SabkaFilmPhotography Send me an email and we'll figure something out. enneagramtypecast@gmail.com

@@TypeCast sent!

Thanks! Here’s the song. czcams.com/video/L2-3ooX_XkQ/video.htmlsi=HURm9QxK8SqLccbN

How so?

Indeed

Thanks for sharing, I’m glad you connected with it!

I mean… that sounds like 95% Seven and 5% Two, lol. Twos aren’t the only ones who have a strong desire for love, so that’s not a deal breaker. Did you watch my other videos for Seven and Two? Which of the characters most strike you as feeling like yourself?

I haven’t seen that, will check it out. Thanks for the tip!

@@TypeCast You're welcome! I hope that you like it. It has some material that is..contentious..but I would not let it stop you from enjoying the series. It's more than worth it.

If you feel things deeper than most people and also feel “different“, Type Four is a good bet!

That works out then!

Thanks for watching!

With less makeup hopefully.

Sounds like we've found the winner then, lol.

Seems like a good balance of cultures to be interested in.

Which ones specifically would you type as counterphobic six?

Apologies for the all-male cast in this one. I originally made this video as just a one-off, because of the Godfather containing all three type eight subtypes. But then I decided to try the same concept for each type, just not with the same film. At some point I would like to go back and do an alternate type eight version with all females to balance it out.

@TypeCast No need to apologize. It was a great montage of different examples of all 3 subtypes of 8s from the same movie and the same family. The Godfather (or any mafia movie) is a great example. Thank you for showing the differences. I'm from Texas, and I think a lot of Southern women are 8s. At least the ones I know: big heart, big hair, and big energy. Very charismatic, protective, nurturing, and tough as nails. 💅 Our nickname is, "A force to be reckoned with."

@TypeCast I must add that after talking to Katherine, she said counterphobic 6s THINK they're 8s. Tritypes with 6+8 is always counterphobic. She says cp6s can appear "more 8 than an 8." Celebrity examples of a cp6 are Malcolm X and 50 Cent.

@@KimEvazians And good cooks, too (from what I hear)! Yes, 8's and CP6's are often mixed up (understandably). I just had someone comment on my other Type 8 video that they thought a lot of those characters are actually CP6. Lol. I disagree but these characters can be quite subjective. I have Malcolm X as a CP6 example in my Type Six video. Also if you check out my Type Six Subtypes video, I use Antoine Fisher as the Transmitting (Sexual) CP example. That character is a great example of a person who might look 8-ish on the outside but is actually driven by Fear rather than a need for Power/Control.

@TypeCast Yes, I can say that I am definitely in charge of the kitchen and can make a supremely satisfying meal out of random forgotten foods found in someone else's pantry + fridge + garden. 🍅🥬🧄🍝🥖🥗 (If they let me take over 😉.) I will check out your 6 videos. The misconception about 8s is the need for control. We don't necessarily want to control others (unless if you're in our world like part of our job responsibility or our child). We just don't like being controlled, especially by incompetent people. We are not power-seeking, but are constantly surrounded by people who like to latch onto us because they are seeking power, protection, resources, or whatever to make themselves feel more safe and secure.

The tough part is finding other films with three strong characters of each subtype in the same film. But I’m open to ideas!

I highly recommend Beatrice Chestnut’s “The Enneagram Guide to Waking Up.” Simple, practical advice for real growth.

@@TypeCast thank you!

Sounds like a Nine, lol. They grow by engaging and not shutting down like that.

Thanks!

Lion FTW!

I'm glad it checked out for you! David Fincher used the Enneagram with the cast for that film. Her portrayal of Lisbeth was excellent!

No cap

Have you read the Type descriptions on the Enneagram Institute website? I'd check those out and see if one of them "punches you in the face." www.enneagraminstitute.com/type-descriptions/

I think there's a good case to be made for that, especially in the books (vs the movies).

Thanks! That’s my hope… that people can see these characters and feel which ones they more relate to.

I know of similar situations as well. It can very difficult for Nines to “muster the courage”, but it’s beautiful when they do!

I'm a One and my daughter is a Two so I can relate to that dynamic, lol.

Mario Sikora of ATA describes Type Two as "striving to feel Connected." So... that checks out.

@@TypeCast Oh ok. I am from India

@@rishia-characterpersonalit2289 Unfortunately that video is blocked in India. Send me an email to enneagramtypecast@gmail.com and we'll figure out a way for you to watch it.

@@TypeCast Thanks for the help. I just saw it using a VPN.

Smart!

Lol, at least you got it narrowed down.

I’m glad it connected with you!

That’s maybe the best compliment I’ve ever received on this series. I’m so happy to hear that! Yes, seeing yourself represented can hurt, but I know when I watch my own Type One video I feel proud to be a One. I’m glad you feel the same! And I aspire every day to be more like a Seven… “Be curious, not judgmental.”

I’ve never read the books but I think there’s a great argument for six in the movies. However that’s not really the point. There are some places where I have intentionally used a character that is definitely not that type as an example of a different type. It’s not about “typing characters.” It’s more about using specific scenes to demonstrate something specific about each type. If that makes sense.

@@TypeCast That's fair enough. As, in one sense, everyone is every type to a greater or lesser degree

Yes. Also these scenes are depicting external behaviors. Theoretically every single type could be doing the exact same external behavior but each doing it for very different internal reasons. So I could change out the quote and have it “fit“ for any time. But obviously some scenes are much more clear than others in terms of which type they make sense for.

That moment when…

Thanks! A good way of telling what your actual type is, or at least that you are in the right ballpark, is if the description punches you right in the face. If it doesn’t hurt then it’s almost certainly not right. Shameless plug but you should check out my other type four video on this channel and see if that resonates as well.

@@TypeCast yeah, I probably will :) for every other type I've listened to, it either didn't fit too right or I picked one piece of their puzzle and chose it as mine heh. That's not how it works though. This felt... Sort of.. Awkwardly accurate. Didn't like it especially the possibility that I'm a social four which feels like something I shouldn't be, if that makes sense? Anyway I'll def check out more, you're doing amazing work 😊

Let me know if that other video gives you any further insights.

Well that’s… kind of the point. Try watching full screen?

Personally I wouldn’t worry about trying to fit yourself into a specific box. Take what’s relevant from each and use it to grow. I used to think I was SP, then SX, now I think I’m about 50% each. Lol. The label is less important than what actually is.

I wouldn't necessarily say that the Count is extroverted. But I'd have to think about a more explicit example in film of an introverted Social 1. Stay tuned...

@@TypeCast Count is hitting too close to home 😅 "oh no he's an extrovert, that's not me".

@@TheGerogero I had someone mention that Robin Wright in "State of Grace" is a good introverted Social One example. Check it out!

​@@TypeCast Cheers!

A 5 and a 7... seems like a natural compliment to each other. As long as you don't kill each other.

Glad I could help with your self discovery.

Other "Enneagram content creators" I've spoken with have reported the same thing... content about Fours and Fives get double the views as the rest.

Thanks! I'm not a huge fan of all the live-action Disney remakes, but I *loved* Cruella.

I haven’t seen Dexter, but 10 years ago I did see Michael C. Hall on the street in New York.
