Four is my wing, so I am into the creative energy that fours emanate. “Islands” is a very feelingsy song, perfect for Introspective Four Sessions. Type fours are introspective and feel lots of feelings. You must become an island to see for yourself the horizon is all we have. It’s definitely what I listen to when I’m feeling jealous. The Lumineers’ breakup song from their latest album is very big three energy, as the kids say. If they perceive someone as being better than them, they may regress into shell and all but give up. When they’re unhealthy, threes get jealous. I took the poison, praying you’d feel it too. “It Wasn’t Easy to Be Happy for You” by The Lumineers Threes strive for constant success, even if it’s fleeting. “King of the Clouds” may actually be about drugs (awkward,) but I also interpret it as feeling important even though you’re “king” of something vaporous and changeable. Threes don’t trust anyone else to do as good of a job as them. I don’t trust anything or anyone below the sun. “King of the Clouds” by Panic! At the Disco Kris Allen’s song is about being a dreamer in a world that’s gone to the dogs, and doing his best to do his part to see the world through the “new eyes of a child.” Twos try. They try to win people over with their affection and idealism. Nathanson’s “Modern Love” is about a girl who is fed up with shallow, modern dating, and would rather just find “the one.” Twos are all about finding “the one” and want to express their feelings to others.Īnd there’s probably no saving us, but I wrote this song to try. Type twos are people pleasers, and they want to be loved. A healthy one can also help people stay strong during challenges as well.Īnd the bright lights shine, still we ache and we break and we try. Ones are great at sticking to their principles and not backing down from them. Will you hold the line, when everyone of them is giving up, giving in?Ĭonversely, “Natural” by Imagine Dragons is talking about staying strong in the face of adversity or temptation. Birdtalkers are talking (lol) about a young woman who has been raised in a society where she should be seen and not heard, and to obey what her elders tell her. This appeals to the side of ones who abide by the rules – even if it’s constraining. In all honesty, a lot of these songs could overlap into other types, depending on levels of stress or health, but I think for each typical type, these songs fit the bill.Īin’t it beautiful, the way she speaks her mother’s mind? I even went so far as to make a playlist for Type Threes. But I thought it would be fun to try to pick a few songs that I believe fit each type. That being said, I don’t know a lot about the Enneagram – I’m by all means a novice. I’d like to think I’m a semi-healthy three now, but who among us can proclaim a completely clean bill of Enneagram health? This isn’t a bad thing in and of itself, but an “unhealthy” three can try to take shortcuts to success, or step on other people in order to get to it. Threes are high achievers, mostly because they want recognition and to be seen as successful. Instead of focusing on what makes you special (ahem, Meyers Briggs) it focuses on things in your personality that can be problematic.įor example, I am a type 3 on the Enneagram. Call it a phase, or call it a ~spiritual awakening~, but it’s a really fascinating look into what people really want and how they go about getting it. If you know me even a little, you know that I’ve been weirdly into the Enneagram lately.
