    What's Your Type? featuring Jess Junke

    What's Your Type? featuring Jess Junke

    In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore conduct another typing interview with Jess Junke, a self-employed administrative consultant. Jessica works with a client in the Enneagram world, but is a rookie when it comes to knowing her Enneagram type. MJ interviews Jess about her personal and work life as a way to show how she and Mario do a typing session and put together the different puzzle pieces towards their hypothesis.
    “This is supposed to be as a way to understand how Mario and MJ do typing sessions. This is also a way to–in some ways–practice your own skills of observations and putting together the different puzzle pieces, turning the knobs and trying to come up with some sort of hypothesis at the end of what Jess may be. So we make sure to hold these things very loosely as humans are complicated, and there’s lots to discover.” -Creek [04:08]

    “Part of growing up for me has been realizing that sharing the hard things with people is a lot more fun actually. It makes the hard things –I don’t know about easier–but they’re not as heavy to carry and so I can go a lot farther.” -Jess [14:05]

    “That’s what the Enneagram is for. It’s not just a fun game or questionnaire. It’s so that we can apply it in ways like this to manage ourselves and being able to change the narratives we have, understanding that my narrative is related to striving to feel connected in your case.” -María José [59:16]

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).

Don’t listen if you’re a 4 — Mario thinks you’re too much

If the enneagram is about cultivating understanding and compassion for people who aren’t like us, Mario forgets it when he talks about 4’s. In general he tends to talk a bit too much about himself. If Maria Jose were the main host the podcast would be greatly improved. She keeps the guys on track, asks excellent questions, and offers beautiful insight.
