Episode 236: Unpacking Enneagram Instinctual Subtypes

Your Enneagram Coach, the Podcast

My husband, Jeff McCord, and our director of coaching, Adam Breckenridge, will explore Enneagram Instinctual Subtypes and how they influence our primary Enneagram types.

What Are Enneagram Instinctual Subtypes?

Enneagram instinctual subtypes are components of the Enneagram system, which divides each type into three subtypes, based on our primary instinctual drive:

1. Self-Preservation: Focuses on personal safety, health, and comfort.
2. Social: Prioritizes group dynamics, social standing, and community relationships.
3. One-to-One (Sexual): Emphasizes deep connections and one-on-one relationships.

These subtypes influence how each Enneagram type expresses itself, leading to 27 unique instinctual subtype personalities.

Whether you are new to the Enneagram or have been on this journey for a while, this series promises to offer valuable insights and practical knowledge to enhance your understanding and growth.

Tune in to explore the nuances of Enneagram instinctual subtypes with Jeff and Adam!
