I once learned an amazing phrase from my even more amazing friends and colleagues at the Enneagram Prison Project: ‘personality isn’t personal’.
It’s like the #Enneagram equivalent of the famous saying, ‘never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity’.
Sounds contradictory, doesn’t it? How could PERSONality not be PERSONal?
Yet it’s true that so many times when we encounter ‘strange’ or even more severely dysfunctional behavior, it’s not directed specifically ‘at’ us (…even when we might have been the ones who triggered it one way or another). Often it’s just a sign of a person resorting to their Type in the moment.
Learn your Type, and learn the #Enneagram to know when it is, and when it isn’t personal!
