The year is 2024, Every type of enneagram type has been explained on Josh’s channel. Everyone watching knows which type they are, are more in touch with themselves, and are better people for it. Life is good.
Can't wait for mine, the type 9, in probably only 7 years! Lol in all seriousness this is an amazing series and I appreciate the depth you go into in each video. Looking forward to the rest of the types.
It seems like so far the Enneagram videos have taken at least 4 months so far to be made, with a separate video in between? Type 9 might come late 2023-early 2024 at the earliest at that rate, maybe earlier if our boi does some back-to-back
Another example of a 2 would be Maui from Moana. He covers up his insecurity with pride, like you mentioned, but he essentially did all of these things for humanity so they'd give him the love he never got from his parents. It's pretty much spelled out word for word in the movie: "You took the heart for them. You did everything for them, so they'd love you."
Agreed, 3w2 fits better. He never got love from his parents, so he makes it up by accomplishing great feats to earn their love. The difference from him and a type 2 is surprisingly in the "You're Welcome" song. It's not him singing about his love, but about how he did all these great things that people didn't know about. "You're welcome."
i wanna explain why, because he didn't try to earn love in 2 kind hearted lovable person style, he tried to earn their love by being the best at everything and being arrogant. that's more of a 3 style
The bit on Boromir hit hard... I had pegged him as a Three, but him being a Two makes so much more sense. And thanks for pointing out Nines! Your videos are exactly what I've been looking for since I discovered the Enneagram. Now to distract myself until the next video comes out...
I’m so happy that you used Fred Rogers as an example of a healthy Type 2. As a Type 2 myself, I have always looked up to Mr. Rogers for his humility and empathy towards others. Thank you for making this!
I can’t imagine how many hours of writing and editing you put into these videos.. Your explanation of each type are super interesting tight-knit packages, thank you!
This is my absolute favorite enneagram series. Showing movie characters as examples of enneagram types really fleshes out my understanding of the enneagram in a way that pure theory doesn't quite do it. I feel like these videos help me to understand other types on a deeper level, not just through superficial stereotypes.
This was wow. Just amazing. From Lotso to Mr. Rogers. As a type 2w1, I feel called out, humbled and seen in new ways. I think the most beautiful thing for a human to recognize is that yes I am broken, and that is beautiful all the same.
Was waiting for this one. It’s always easier to spot the unhealthy levels of a 2 and harder to find them when they integrate because of how little emphasis they put on themselves outwardly, so really appreciated the insight to the healthier characters. As a 2 the shame of existing bit hit harder than I was expecting, even though I’ve read many enneagram books, somehow when it’s brought up it always feels like a new kick to the gut 😂 Beautiful video. Thank you for all the research and work you did for this. Really appreciate it!
A character like this is Mirage from Apex Legends. He has to change himself to an extroverted care-free guy, just so he can fill the love hole that was once filled by his family.
God this made me cry. I’ve had to do a lot of soul searching lately because of a breakup and an unhealthy expectation that my ex and I would get back together (spoiler alert, absolutely not) and I really recognize now, as a two myself, that a lot of my unhealthy coping around the situation was focused on how I appeared to them, and others during the healing process. I do resonate very much with the idea of being ashamed to be alive, and needing to make up for the fact that I’m myself by over performing for others. It all hurts to hear so frankly, but it’s all true. This video is helping me see what I can do to be better for myself alone, and how that’s valuable in itself.
Tbh this surprised me a bit 'cause I'm going through the same thing, cried a lot throughout the video as well DX I hope you get better and heal from that!
Your videos are so solid. I really appreciate the care and level of detail you put into your videos. I’m currently going through the Beatrice Chestnut professional certification and using the Enneagram in my professional work. I look forward to being able to share these videos with my clients to help them understand their type more. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Thanks so much! I really try my best with these videos so this means a lot to me. I've actually been interested doing that same certification program recently! Would you recommend it?
Excellent video! I envy those folks in the future who can watch the videos on all 9 types in one sitting. For now I will content myself with eagerly awaiting your next video. Thanks for all of your work here, it is appreciated.
My mom is a 2. She's a very unselfish person who has helped a lot of people and animals and has been a rock to our family. Unfortunately, though, she's the only consistently dependable person in our family, and the rest of the family has constantly taken from her and given little back. Understandably, my mom often gets stressed out and resentful, because she has so many people and animals who depend on her, but she doesn't get any help.
The comment about the core of the Feeling types being ashamed of being alive and wanting to be something more than themselves hit me really hard. As one of the feeling types, a 4, I've felt that way so many times.
I can’t wait for 7, my bestie is a Type 2. She’s a wonderful friend, though I think she falls into that fear of not being loved and appreciated. I hope she knows I’ll always be there for her.
😮 Wow that's so cool! What's it like to be a 7? I am a 2 and am doing research on the Enneagram. Can I interview you and ask how knowing about Enneagram changed your life? ❤
I'm a 1w2. Really enjoyed this video. It's strange, I have always wanted to help people out but have also been aware of my desires disguised in this "help." I think my type 1 concerning itself with being morally sound is why I fixate so much on not falling prey to this flaw. However, I can be self-destructive about this. I had a phase where I would do whatever I could to help people "behind the scenes" in a way, not wanting credit for fear that I would become attention-seeking and prideful (as I have seen happen to others). Your vids helped me overcome this while maintaining my awareness of my ego. Thanks a ton!
My 4 best friend said to me “I hope he does justice to healthy 4s and doesn’t just focus on the melancholy and dramatic 4 side…” and I said “he seems to be a pretty well-adjusted and healthy 9w1 - a peacemaker with a dash of perfectionist. If anyone will put the utmost care into giving each type fair and balanced treatment, it’ll be Josh Keefe. I trust him completely with doing the enneagram justice.” And I really do. - a sx/sp 548 who adores your videos
Wowowowowow I’m a two struggling with self-entitlement and pride manifesting in jealousy and possessiveness atm and Jesus Christ this video hurt. I was nervous giggling through the whole average section and sobbing at the healthy part. This is such a great series!
I literally jumped out of my seat in class when I saw this was uploaded. Can't wait for more! These first two were amazing!!! I got into the Enneagram a while back, but it's cool to have some real characters put to the different types and see how their character plays out even in a fictional setting as fiction is often a reflection of reality.
Wow, totally opened up my perception of Boromir! Impressed! And although I've always liked claiming Mister Rogers for us 9s, you've made a really good argument here. I like the way you think and look at people!
this was so beautiful. i teared up when you spoke about mr. rogers. When you talked about characteristics of healthy twos it made me want to strive to be more like them. i also appreciated you pointing out a fellow nine :) the editing and content of these videos are killer. i will be sharing these with friends asap
Oh boy how I cant wait for you to do type 6 and 9 😭 I’ve been very confused whether I am this or that and your videos are so well thought out that it will surely benefit me Thank you for the three videos you’ve put up so far! Honestly amazing
Outstanding job! As a 4, I got really choked up with the part about Mr. Rogers and Daniel the Tiger. Can't wait to see what your next videos look like.
Growing up having Clueless as my all-time favorite movie, now knowing I’m a Type 2, Cher was the perfect reference that brought a smile to my face! The end of this video hit me hard, and then I found myself crying! I’m in school to become an MFT and truly helping others from the healthy 2 place is my deepest calling in life. This video made me feel so seen! Thank you thank you ❤
Please keep using Lord of the Rings characters for enneagram comparisons! Two of my favorite things in one video. Your hard work is greatly appreciated.
I feel like I've learned more in your series so far than I have in school this year !! This concept of yours is brilliantly creative and the execution is awesome! Thanks so much, man.
I love that you referenced Sleeping at Last’s Atlas enneagram album. Your reviews are so thorough that I am super excited for you to get to my number (4).
Wow! You brought tears to my eyes there at the end! My son is a 2. This really helps me understand and appreciate him for his compassionate heart. I’m a 7 and hate to think of myself or others in pain, so I struggle to reach out (or in) to help ease that pain. Healthy 2’s are an inspiration to do that!! Thank you for your hard work on these videos!!
I have used this video and the type one video to help my friends that are these types to understand themselves better so please keep making this series as its a way of using the ennegram to help people understand themselves with characters they can relate too.
I absolutely love this series, really helping with my personality character system for fictional characters. I cannot wait till you get to my type, type 3, but i've already learned soooo much about myself and the people around me in these videos. Keep going!!!
This was a great video to watch, and actually shed a lot of light on my personality as a 1wing2; more specifically a one to one 1, and a social wing 2.
This series is great. After watching your Type One video a while ago when it came out, it had me questioning whether my enneagram type was what I originally thought I was, a 9w1, or really a 1w9. I still haven't figured it out. Can't wait for your Type Nine video!
As a type 2w1, I am equally overjoyed that my two episodes of this series are available... and saddened by the fact that types 3-9 have to wait super long for theirs.
I always thought I was a type 3 but I felt so connected to the characters and the video. When I watched "Kiki's delivery service" I felt exactly what Kiki felt but I didn't know why. Now it makes so much sense, thank you so much for your work.
so it's only been out for two weeks and I've watched this video like... five times now?? Seriously this is my favourite series on RU-vid rn. Such brilliant explanations better than any I've seen (Enneagram Institute included!) and even though my type hasn't come up yet (five - almost there!) I've already learned so much and felt so called out just by type 1 being my instinct type and type 2, my heart type (in my tritype). Just - thank you for what you've done already!
I think Clark Griswold from the Vacation series might be an example of a 2 lead character. He seems prideful, gets angry when he is not appreciated and is generally trying his hardest to show his family a good time.
As a type 2, I feel very afraid yet also very loved by this video lol Afraid of becoming the unhealthy characters and loved by being appreciated at the healthy levels of development
It doesn’t matter how long it will take, but I REALLY hope you will finish this series! I’ve already read so much about the enneagram, but your videos somehow help me understand it, the characters and the people in my life even better (apart from making me really emotional, even if the video is not about my type)! So thank you so much for all the work you put into these videos! It’s highly appreciated!
Man I feel like this hit way too close to home. What a wonderful explanation that helps type 2's (me) self reflect. I definitely could see parts of my life where I was an unhealthy type 2 and parts of my life where pride would take over. Thank you so much for this video, it gives me an idea of where I should check my desires and intentions.
I wanted to give you Two’s some love back: You are compassionate and altruistic, as you instinctively see straight through people’s fake façades and push yourself to the limit to help those who need it most. You do not wait for people to ask for help, not do you pretend that you don’t notice someone else’s suffering. You are brave, persevering, strong, so so strong, as you take upon your own needs and desires more times than you probably should, all of it in order to make someone you love (or even a stranger!) smile a true smile of joy. The world needs people like you, but you should still remember that you also need (AND deserve) someone like you to take care of you. ❤ When you are in good health, your only presence can make anyone’s day and faith in humanity shine a bright, renewed light for you show the people around you what a true golden heart can look like ! From a type One in growth 🙂
This series is my favorite thing right now. I was so excited to see you posted! You should know that out of all my subscriptions, your channel is the ONLY one I set alerts on for. Thank you for this!
I work in the field of addiction- I think their are a slew of movie characters of co-dependent enablers that are missed in this one. (No offense Josh- your videos are legitimately awesome! I have and will continue to utilize them for my clients- you are truly impacting the lives of so so many) In my experience/opinion the matriarch of toxic/unhealthy family systems is one example of a definitive unhealthy 2 moving toward the 8. They say things to others like: “ if it wasn’t for me…(fill in the blank with their prideful delusion of self sacrifice). Great video!!!
I was thinking after watching this that my mom might be a 2, and that statement you made just made it a little more certain in my mind. Unfortunately she got more unhealthy in the latter half of my years and that's the kind of attitude she often had.
i love this series so much!! im almost afraid as an 8 about what you are going to say because as a w9 i dont feel like i fit the idea of 8s that most people have, but i know you'll handle it with so much nuance and care like you have for 1s and 2s!
These videos are so amazing. Part of me thinks it's taking WAY too long given the enneagram wheel was almost a year ago, but I also don't want there to be diminished quality. Just want to see my Type 5 get roasted :D
As an average 2w1, a lot of what you said rings true for me. I am constantly going back and forth between feeling prideful, wanting to get my needs met in manipulative ways and being straightforward about my needs and helping because I actually want to. Also, I think that having 2's in supporting roles in most media is probably because 2's are seen as the helper (even most Enneagram scholars call us that), so they help the protagonist achieve their goals, while also being the supportive and loyal friend. Thank you for the video, I feel that you did us justice :)
Yes, I agree about Mr Rodgers. He’s too people focused to be a 9. As a 9, I’m an introvert that can fake extrovert quite well, but of course, people aren’t my focus in general. Unless someone interests me, I’m not particularly interested in more than a superficial connection, though I like my interactions to be agreeable.
❤ Awe, that's great. What is it you enjoy about being a 2? I am doing research on this topic. Can I interview you and ask how knowing about Enneagram changed your life? ❤
Such a great series! And I can very well researched. I'm a type 9, but I initially mistyped myself as type 2. There are subtle differences, because the two can look similar on the outside and take many of the same actions, but their inner motivations are different.
