Type Talk is a collection of anecdotes and personal stories drawn from postings made to an internet Enneagram e-mail list. These items have been quoted by permission. They tell the story in first person accounts of how the patterns of thoughts, beliefs, preoccupations, perceptions, feelings and emotions described in the teachings of the Enneagram have manifested in and influenced the lives of the story tellers.
Type Talk came about in response to the need expressed by several subscribers to the mail list for archives of previous topics and threads and for a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) to which newcomers to the list could be referred when asking about topics and subjects previously covered by subscriber postings.
All articles, comments and other writings appearing in Type Talk represent the insight, perceptions and opinions of the individual writers and editors and do not necessarily represent the viewpoint of the site host or the sponsoring web site. They are presented here to bring life and experience to a subject which otherwise could become too intellectualized without the input of first-person accounts and stories.
These items are assembled and edited by a group of volunteers on behalf of the participants subscribing to this Enneagram mail list and are presented here to further the understanding of the Enneagram and its teachings.
Contributions to Type Talk should be made to the volunteer listed below who hosts or edits the particular topic or thread of interest to the contributor. If you wish to introduce a new topic or thread, or, have comments, questions and suggestions about the content of this section please send e-mail to the editor. Comments, questions and suggestions about the web site itself should be sent to webmaster.
To learn more about the Enneagram mail list, or, to subscribe to the list, go to mail list.
Type Talk is a section of a larger web, The Enneagram: An Adventure In Self-Discovery, and is hosted by Jack High, a student and teacher of the Enneagram.
