The Challenger or The Perfectionist? Part 1 of 2 with Kirsten Powers [S02-025]

Let's face it…there's a deep complexity to the Enneagram. Yes, for some, it is extremely easy to nail down their type. But for others…well, it's more complicated. Why? First, everyone exhibits behaviors that look like a particular type. And to make it even more difficult, there are an infinite number of expressions of each type, some of which will look nothing like you on the exterior, but are still a unique variation of that particular type.

However, we can't determine our type by our behaviors. We really have to dig down into what's driving those behaviors and ask ourselves what is the underlying motivation behind my behavior?

When our guest, author and CNN political analyst, Kirsten Powers, reached out about her uncertainty in typing herself as a One or an Eight, we had to help her land on something.

Kirsten Powers currently writes for USA today, and is an on-air political analyst at CNN. She appears regularly on Anderson Cooper 360, CNN tonight with Don Lemon, and The Lead with Jake Tapper.
