The Enneagram 4 is the least common type and oftentimes, mistyped. I can’t tell you how many people I have seen typed as a 2, 3, or even a 7, just for me to look into their subtypes and tell them they’re a 4.

So why is it so hard to determine your true Enneagram type? It all goes back to the subtypes.

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I continue the subtype series, this time with a focus on Enneagram 4. I dive into the subtypes of 4s and explain why knowing your subtypes is the key to unlocking more about yourself and your meaning in life.

I share the differences in each Enneagram 4 subtype including why self-preservation 4s want to be praised for being tough, why social 4s are so emotionally sensitive, and why one-on-one 4s are so vocal and intense about their needs.

Listen in to learn more about why so many 4s get mistyped as 3s, why 4 is the least common type in the Enneagram, and how each subtype typically shows up in 4s.
