Hey guys welcome back to my channel enneagram and coaching I'm Hillary your certified enneagram
life coach and today we are going to be going over the 10 signs that you might be a type 1
the perfectionist and i just want to start off with this video is definitely not going to be
perfect because let me show you this one that's in my office
he has already oh i'm totally messing this up look at this this is the perfectionist video and
i'm messing it up already um he just randomly will start scratching and stuff so if you hear anything
he will not leave me alone right now his name's luke he's my rescue dog
so before we get started don't forget to push that subscribe button that's super important
to my channel and also if you don't mind give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed the video
but without further ado let's dive into the 10 signs that you might be a perfectionist
sign number one is you are wise and discerning and what that means for the type one is people
a lot of times will go to ones um for wisdom advice and so if you find a lot of people come
to you for wisdom and advice that might be why and the reason is is because when the type one is
in a really healthy place they will give truthful advice in a kind and compassionate way and people
really need that from the type ones and a type one they you know you guys know they understand what
is good and so by them understanding what is good they can help others make important decisions and
so that first sign that you might be a one is if you are wise and discerning the second sign for
the type one the perfectionist is if you feel like you are the only one doing good more than likely
you feel this obligation to do what is right but you feel like you're the only one that feels this
and chooses this and you might even feel like you're the only one that cares about what is
important the third thing is you beat yourself up when you make mistakes a type 1 they have a
pretty mean inner critic that can be relentless this inner critic will blame them for everything
and to be honest this makes perfect sense because the wounding childhood message of the one is it's
not okay to make mistakes which means if you are a one you're terrified of making mistakes you guys
are the hardest on yourselves and i mean advice for me would be like just learning about this just
gaining the self-awareness might actually help you because it is okay to make mistakes sometimes
okay so let's move on to the fourth sign that you might be a type one and that is you have a ton of
self-discipline i'm so jealous of this that is something i definitely is a type nine struggle
with i mean the type one they have so much control they can motivate themselves if they say they will
do it they will an example would be if you're a type one um you know do you go to the gym every
day and if you do do you set the time limit like say it's five a.m every day i almost can guarantee
when you put that on your to-do list it gets done no matter what no matter how you feel if you're
tired more than likely if you put it on your list and you have a set time you're gonna get it
done you have a ton of self-discipline okay so the fifth thing we're halfway through of the ten signs
that you might be a type one you feel like you always have to do what is right and really it's
because the type one they fear being wrong it's one of their core fears in life is being wrong
this could be partly why the type one is called the perfectionist you know they do fear being
wrong now that's not to say that they are the ones that have the perfect house at all time
and everything's always perfect and stuff like that i have actually talked to some type ones
i'm wondering if they have a strong nine wing that they don't always have to have
everything perfect but you know in the end yes they do like to do what is right to them being
right is being good and sometimes the type one what they even if it's what they think is right
it will be the only way to do it right so even even if it might not be the wrong thing
if they think it's the right thing it's gonna be the only way it can get done does that make
sense if you're type one let me know in the comments below does that resonate with you
um can you expound on that a little bit what's what does that look like in your life okay number
six this one's one of my favorite ones for the type one um they can walk into a room and see
automatically what is wrong say they're like okay let's just say for example they're coming home
from work and it could be a guy or a girl doesn't matter they get home from work and their spouse
is maybe cooking dinner and house is clean but they come in and they're like they kind of like
look at the room i don't know you know scan the room and there's a pillow on the floor
the type one a lot of times are going to be like oh there's a pillow out of place instead of being
like wow the house looks great and their first instinct is really going to be to see what is out
of place what is wrong and so they're gonna notice that pillow a lot of times not every time but
a lot of times before they're gonna notice like everything else in the room the number seven sign
that you might be a type one the perfectionist is you love a to-do list and i think i already hit on
this a little bit but the type one loves a to-do list and you might even write something on your
list that you've actually already done just so you can cross it off because you definitely you know
you wanna you want the credit but usually you only need the credit for yourself right it's not like
you're going to take your list and be like look what i did no no it's your own self-discipline
it's your own um thing okay so here's a question for my type ones have you ever written a to-do
list and made a mistake while you're writing maybe you misspelled a word or something or like
you were like oh no i didn't mean to write that or anything like where there's a little mistake
here's my question do you just scratch it off and keep writing that's what i would do or do
you crumble up the paper throw it away and start all over that is a question for my type ones what
would you do there okay so moving on to number eight is you obey all the traffic rules and you
might even get super angry at those that don't do the same honestly the one is to me i when i was
thinking about this i i was thinking well they probably are like you should do the right thing
even when no one's looking which is integrity so i would agree with that but i i have heard
that the type ones uh they really do moving on to number nine you see the world in black and white
yes or no right or wrong and there's no gray there's nothing in between and number ten the
last one you might feel frustrated that other people don't have the same standard as you do
i think it's because the type one they might strive so hard for moral integrity and perfection
they can start to feel frustrated that other people don't even try to consider these things
so yeah they have super high standards so but anyways guys that's the 10 things this is the 10
signs that you might be at enneagram type one the perfectionist let me know in the comments below
