Taylor Swift has been in the spotlight since her start as a teenage singer-songwriter. From country to pop and indie-folk, Swift has experimented with different musical genres and aims for innovation whenever she puts out a new album. She’s incredibly good at what she does and, with over 200-million record sales to her name, now ranks among the best-selling musicians of all time. She also advocates for artists' (and women’s) rights in the music industry.
In the universe of the
Enneagram type 3
, intimacy may be sought and desired, but not found. Like everyone else, the Enneagram 3 will enter their romantic relationships hoping to develop a deep and meaningful connection with their partner. But there is no guarantee they will find that level of intimacy if they allow certain self-generated obstacles to interfere.
When an
Enneagram 3
in stress is integrated and well-adjusted, they will manage stressful situations gracefully and proactively. They will see their discomfort as a sign that changes are required, and they will put in the time and effort necessary to make them.
While the
Type 2 Giver
and the
Type 3 Achiever
have habits of attention that point in radically different directions, they can still be easy to confuse. Some Type 2s are surprisingly competitive, while some Type 3s are strikingly helpful, so if you’ve ever felt unsure about where your attention goes, it’s understandable. Motivation is a complex, multi-layered aspect of character, and honest self-reflection is a process.
We can accomplish far more together than we can alone. In partnerships, we double our productivity, cover each other's blindspots, and tick off life's achievements faster. But only if both people share the same vision, and support each other to approach it in their own way.
The ambitious and determined
Enneagram Three
, “The Achiever,” is a devoted partner, who strives to shine for their partner and build a life together full of happiness and success. As part of the
heart-traid
, Threes easily pick up on the emotions of other people, but they can struggle to understand their own feelings. Because of this, they need partners who will truly recognize their needs and offer them consistent support.
The
Enneagram
is a powerful tool for deepening one’s spirituality and in finding a truly fulfilling personal path. It’s also an incredibly helpful lens for improving unhealthy patterns and finding joy in your relationships.

When discovering your Enneagram type, it is common to get confused and to see yourself in more than one personality style. It can be helpful to remember that the Enneagram is about identifying a habit of attention. Behavioral traits radiate out from these thought patterns, but the behavior is secondary to the question “where does your attention go?” Behavior on its own is a seductive, but often misleading, indicator of type.
In part one yesterday, we covered everything you’ve wanted to know about Enneagram subtypes. You learned what the instincts mean, how they stack up, what countertypes are, and how to use your subtype to understand where your emotional energy goes.
Now that you know how to use your subtype for deeper awareness of your patterns, we’ve provided a general overview of what each Enneagram subtype may look like. Keep in mind that “general” is the key word here—you may not fit the bill completely, but this can provide some insight into exploring your subtype further.
