Parties and Your Instinctual Bias
In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, María José Munita, Seth "Creek" Creekmore and Lee Fields talk about an exercise they conducted during their recent Instinctual Biases and Subtypes Weekend Workshop. The hosts explain some of the takeaways and common themes they observed from asking the participants to plan a party. Listen as they summarize how this reveals a clear representation of the instinctual biases and insight into the dynamics between them.
“You lose so much in the digital realm. And I think I was just reminded with the workshop of like theory is interesting, but it’s so boring and dead unless you actually get to work with it and observe it and interact in person with it. I think that it just kind of made it come alive to me in a different way.” -Creek [11:10]
“Is this party going to happen? And will it be fun? It’s a complimentary nature that you need all of the pieces to be represented, but different things will be highlighted if that group is solely in charge of the actual outcome.” -Lee [15:52]
“And that’s the main takeaway from all the groups that I’ve worked with, it’s that I can now see the value of having these three domains considered, and I can also see how some of these truly bother me. I look at it and I just find it not compelling, not interesting, not important, but I can understand that it’s important. I can understand that we need to have them all.” - María José [30:07]

Nashville Workshop Live Q & A
In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora and María José Munita and Seth "Creek" Creekmore host their first live Q and A podcast, answering questions from their recent Instinctual Biases and Subtypes Weekend Workshop in Nashville.
“I used to get frustrated because our materials would change every time we changed a concept, an idea, the way in which we thought about something. Now I see it as a strength, because it means that we are challenging our own ideas, and not staying stuck into what we think because it’s printed. Because we already taught it. We’re not identified with those ideas.” - María José [26:34]
“I think what I’ve experienced as I’ve come into ATA more is that this model and these words tend to capture a more broader explanation of this phenomena of my human existence. And that doesn’t mean that the others are wrong. I’ve just found personally that this terminology captures more and gives more flexibility for me to have my own personal expression of who it is to be me with my own personal story.” -Creek [27:20]
“Everything we teach applies to every aspect in your life. We just tend to contextualize it in organizational life. And my view is if any idea I have doesn’t pass muster with a critical audience, then I shouldn’t be teaching it. So it’s almost like that’s the litmus test. If it’ll work here, it’ll work anywhere. But it’s really no different than things you would apply in your regular life.” -Mario [37:58]

Customer Reviews
Very informative!
I really appreciate that they bring up some of the stereotyping that happens with each of the types and bring attention to the fact that many stereotypes are based on the unhealthy versions of those types. They have such good descriptions of how each of the subtypes show up and note that one of them is more the stereotype of how we expect that type to show up, as well as point out what types the subtype could get mistaken as. I have found this helpful for “solidifying” what types different people in my life are (though I still keep an open mind until they confirm themselves, of course).
