Not My Type Enneagram

Our group chat finally met together in the flesh after a year of friendship.We (unsurprisingly) discuss our types [seen left to right]:Jack - sx/so 278(367)Hannah - so/sx 397(416)Alexandria - so/sp 693(782)Megan - sp/so 479(368)

Megan [sp/so 479(368)] and Alexandria [so/sp 693(782)] join Jack [sx/so 278(367)] for some ramblings and musings on instinctual impacts on relationship. Most of the episode's focus is on the contrasting experiences between a waxing point of view and a waning point of view.Jack's mic has some technical difficulties for the first few minutes. It doesn't last the whole episode.

Jack and Olivia host their former client (and present friend) Megan to discuss their shared and separate experiences of moving through the world as Heart Types.For your reference, their types are as follows:Jack - sx/so 278(367)Olivia - sx/sp 361(479)Megan - sp/so 479(368)

Olivia and Jack run through common mistypings they see in their clients and discuss what overlaps & misconceptions are likely to cause these phenomena.

Meet NMT's third typist! Originally a client, Olivia's now been typing clients with us since Summer of 2024. Here we discuss her experience with her interesting type setup [sx/sp 361(479)] and our recent discoveries since realizing she is social blind!
