did you take an Enneagram test and the type 1 came up in your top three results you might have
taken the Enneagram Institute test which is 144 questions so good job if you did or Beth McCord
has a good one out there Trudy has one out there there's so many different tests that you could
take but a lot of times when we take the test we still have more questions because usually it'll
give you your top three results and so that's what this video is going to help you do today if you
just need a little more information on who the type one is this is the video you need to watch
the type one they're known as the reformer you've probably heard it called the perfectionist they're
motivated by being good by being right they want to live a life with purpose and if you've gotten
to this point and you don't even know what the Enneagram is quick go watch this video whether
it's right now or after this video go watch this video it'll help you understand what the
Enneagram is before we dive into who the Enneagram type one is okay so let's go ahead and dive into
the 10 signs of being an Enneagram type one sign number one that sign I would say for the type one
is they're the ones that don't understand why people have such lacks standards of their life
type ones usually live their life with high standards with themselves with other people
and with the world and so when other people don't have those same standards maybe they're careless
or neglectful or they just don't approach life the same way it can be really hard for that type
one because like I said they live by really high standards sign number two you hate mistakes the
Enneagram one hates mistakes and a lot of this has to do with the wounding childhood message
of that type one which is it's not okay to make mistakes so when they were little
they interpreted most things through that wait it's not okay to make mistakes therefore that
is one of the signs for the one it's just not okay to make mistakes and usually they're the
hardest on themselves so all that to say they really really try to make sure things are done
properly and without mistakes sign number three you're a hard worker you go the extra mile you
carry out all the tasks extremely efficiently the work of the one is usually Top Notch sign number
four sometimes you feel like you're living with a judge in your head and that judge could be harsh
but it also could be wise and Discerning but a lot of times the one has like an inner critic
or helper or judge in their head sign number five the type one usually has a ton of self-discipline
they're able to motivate themselves they have lots of self-control they keep their word anything they
put on their to-do list they tend to get it done sign number six you feel like you always have to
do what is right which goes back to your core desire right but if we flip that the core fear
of the one is being wrong therefore that desire what they're running after is they always want to
be right being right to that type one can equal being good and so that is a motivator of the one
and a sign of being a one if being good and right is super important to you sign number seven you're
constantly wanting to improve every aspect of your life work life home life you can spot all
the imperfections you can walk through the door at your house and spot a pillow on the floor even if
the rest of the house is clean you might zero in on what's not done and a lot of times that
has to do with the one being able to always spot imperfections out they just can spot what needs
to be improved instantly and a lot of times it's just some of it is just making sure it's
consistent with their values and principles and so all of that goes together sign number eight your
communication style Direct honest deliberate and I would say the other part of the communication
style of the type one is they don't have a ton of time or space for smallpox sign number nine
the one will experience physical tension in their body pretty regularly and this is because the one
tends to repress anger and stress and any emotional responses that they just don't
want to deal with they kind of repress it and sometimes it could feel like physical tension in
the one and a tightness and might even be some pain but a lot of times it's because they're
repressing those emotions all right last time sign number ten if you're a one you want to make
the world a better place not to say other types don't want to but it looks differently with the
one they want to make a difference they want to make a difference for people they want to make a
difference for a cause they want to make the world a better place type ones they're World Changers
so if you've gotten to the end of this point and you're like yes yes yes yes yes yes then I'd say
you might be an Enneagram type one if you still have questions though and you still
need a little more information you can go watch this video which is all about the
Enneagram one wings and it tells you a little bit more information or this video and this
