Description
"I'm an Enneagram 4, so that's just why I do things the way I do." Day 162 of the Travel Agency in a Year podcast is all about using these tests for information about how you can possibly grow, not put yourself into a box.
Please stop. It's not a definitive trait, it's a one-time test score, and people often conflate this information to get wreckless with some nasty behavior and skirt accountability, not to mention delay their own growth.
It's great to have an understanding of who you are now. Don't let these test be a reason to say you "understand" yourself, stop growing, learning and adapting. It's like knowing your sun sign is Cancer and then spending the rest of your life thinking you're extra emotional for that reason.
