AIO Character Enneagram Types

Idk if y’all are into the enneagram, but I think it’s kinda fun so here we are. I’m no expert, but these are just some of my thoughts:

Eugene-Type 5 (possibly with a 6 wing): I think Eugene is pretty easy to type. He’s super intellectual, inventive, and enjoys pursuing knowledge. He tends to be a little eccentric, and is very independent and innovative. He can also become reclusive because he fears being incompetent and often struggles with relating to people emotionally. We see these struggles very clearly in his relationship with Buck, as he finds it difficult to open up to him. However, when he finally does, the vulnerability reveals a strength and maturity of character and creates a much stronger relationship to Buck. He’s pretty much the definition of a healthy five. 

Connie-Type 7w6: Connie’s a little trickier than Eugene, but I think 7 makes the most sense. She’s joyful, optimistic, values freedom, and seeks fulfillment in life. She has a natural charisma, especially with the kids, that attracts people to her. She can also be very scattered, disorganized, and distractible. The wing 6 accounts for her loyalty, her tendency to be anxious, and her need for security. Although I could see Connie being typed as a 2, I think the episodes that show her character before she became a Christian point more towards a type 7. (Generally the servanthood of a type 2 is the most valued among Christians, so those ideals can often lead to them, especially Christian women, being mistyped as a 2, despite that not being their innate personality). A case could certainly be made for her as a 2 (and probably also as a 4), but I finally decided that 7 made the most sense to me.

Whit-Type 1w2: Whit is such a well-rounded “perfect” character, that typing was pretty difficult for me, again the Christian tendency to value type 2 traits also made this tricky, so episodes that involve Whit as a younger, more flawed person were what I had to base some of this off of. Whit has an incredibly strong moral compass and constantly strives for improvement. He is wise, discerning, compassionate, an excellent teacher, and an inspiring leader. He sometimes deals with resentment and being a little self-righteous, even angry when his decisions are questioned (e.g. with Jana or Wilson). He stands up for what he believes in and for people who need help. He is also passionate, self-disciplined, and an advocate for truth and justice. These traits all lead me to see him as a 1w2, but if you can argue for another type, go for it, I think an argument could be made for several other types (3, 5, or 6 specifically).

Jack Allen-Type 9: Jack is actually the reason I decided to make this list because he is the NINEST NINE TO EVER NINE. He is stable, agreeable, and supportive, but his desire to keep the peace often leads to complacency. He avoids conflict at all costs and tends to seek peace in the spiritual. He is very profound and patient with others and he is good at bringing other people together. We especially see his tendency to avoid conflict in his interactions with Jason when they butt heads while running Whit’s End. His nine-ness is also very clear in the episode “And That’s the Truth” from album 43 when he can’t bring himself to confront PJ about the quality of his work. If you tell me Jack is anything other than a 9 I will probably fight you.

Jason-Type 3: Jason is a pretty straight-forward 3. He’s charming, confident, adaptable, ambitious, and driven. He pushes himself to do every task to the best of his abilities. He often struggles with arrogance, his competitive nature, a restlessness that stems from his ambition, and his tendency to obsess over his work. He has a strong desire to help others, but sometimes his desire to be “the hero” of a situation undermines him. We especially see Jason as an unhealthy 3 in episodes like “A Touch of Healing” and “Shining Armor.” As we currently know him in the series, Jason hasn’t quite reached the level of a healthy 3 as we still see him struggle with workaholism and with a tendency to run away from his emotions. His time in “the labyrinth” clearly effected his mental health and set him back significantly in the growth he had previously shown, but he has begun to show growth again during his recent time in Odyssey and at the antique shop.

Wooton-Type 4w5: Wooton’s eccentricity pretty clearly points to him being a type 4. He’s extremely creative, self-aware, and true to himself. He shows a desire to impact the world around him in a unique and significant way. He can be very profound, and uses his art to express the beauty he sees in the world. He has also shown an ability to take everything he has experienced, both positive and negative, and grow from it. He finds the value in every experience. The deep emotion he experiences help him to feel empathy and compassion for those around him and express it in a way that they find helpful and comforting. He also has a unique but specific and easily recognizable aesthetic, like many of his fellow type 4s. I could also see him being typed as a 2 because of his love for people and his deep need to be around them, but his artistic nature is why I lean more towards 4.

Penny-Type 6w7: Although I could also type Penny as a 4, there are a few specific traits that I feel make her more of a type 6. She is committed, loves people, and deeply values reliability and trust in her relationships. She tends to be very anxious, doubtful, and defensive when she feels uncomfortable or stressed, as well as becoming very indecisive and overly cautious when facing decisions that make her feel pressured. When she feels confident in a situation, she is willing to stand up for others, helping them feel seen and heard when they otherwise wouldn’t. When she feels strongly about a cause, she devotes all of her time and energy to it. She cares very deeply about people and is naturally very sociable and spirited.

That’s all for now. What do you guys think? Do you agree or disagree with my typing? I may do a part 2 with Tom, Bernard, Katrina, and other characters that I didn’t fit into this one. Let me know what you think! :)

A Trip to Emerald City

Also known as City of Flowers, Jet City or Queen city (of the pacific Northwest)... In other words... Seattle.

Good morning from my living room couch. 

It’s an unexpected day off for me. I’ve been working full time on the set of Travelers alongside some rad talent! It’s always a blessing to witness the wonders of film making. Though I appreciate every minute, working long hours on set doesn’t leave much time to catch up on my personal projects. 

So here we are a month and a bit later, I’ve finally sat to write about my trip to Seattle. Like I said on my InstaStory, I didn’t think I’d be writing this blog since I realized that I hadn’t taken any pictures! Between the Instagram stories, capturing Vlog footage & trying to be present in the moment - I completely forgot to take pictures... It dawned on me this morning - I thought; what better way to show Seattle than to show it through the eyes of the public?! I’ve decided to feature Instagram accounts who have captured moments in my fave spots! This way you get my list of places to check out + the unique views from strangers! 

We’d been to Seattle the year before for Christmas. I remember thinking; Seattle isn’t very exciting. That’s probably because the city was a ghost town. Nothing was open, barely any civilization to be found. We were unsuccessfully, roaming the streets trying to see what Seattle had to offer. Note to self - don’t explore a city on Christmas day, not much to do. This time around, the city was Bumpin’. Streets were filled with people, the sun shining, street performers out to play. It seriously caught me off guard! We couldn’t have picked a better weekend to go, weather wise!

The first thing we did when we arrived Saturday night, was look for a cozy, unique little spot for dinner! I looked up a few places that might pique my interest... one of which - we didn’t end up going to, but remains on my bucket list- The Pink Door. The name is what caught my attention! And yes it actually  has a pink door (perfectly Instagrammable btw).

The Pink Door -  1919 Post Alley, Seattle, WA 98101, USA - (PC me)

I found this place by searching for restaurants by the water (one of my fave things to do, I’ll have you know, is dine by the water). I quickly realized, this place doubled as a cabaret. Say whaaa!! Yaasss! They offer dinner & a show! How sweet?!  I’m down! The boys on the other hand... not so much...

So we opted to keep it low key. We strolled the Gay district instead. Also known as Capitol Hill, this place packed with hip bars, eateries and gay joints. Go figure; most “IT” spots are located right here. I’m seriously not surprised. They always know what’s up! 

It’s not always easy to find hidden gems if you literally don’t know where their hiding spots are. We were pretty lucky though, given the fact my boyfriends brother actually lives in Seattle. We got to have a private tour guide who knows the local spots to hit up! We found this alley way off Pike, on 11th Ave - a hidden alley way with a bunch of artisan shops and dinner spots secretly linked by these hallways. That’s what I’m talkin’ about! That’s my shit right there! 

The restaurant we settled at was,  Cafe Pettirosso

A small, cozy restaurant, that serves experimental dishes. I loved this place for its rustic feel. It didn’t give the typical North American vibe, never mind the US of A vibe... it could’ve been the narrow alley ways, the hanging string lights, the warm night, the stone walls or possibly the flowers on the table - but I forgot I was in america for a brief moment. It’s exactly what I was looking for. See what I’m talking about for yourself!

I Highly recommend this nook to anyone. 

I was pretty pumped about exploring the city - especially now that I got an idea of the types of places we could find!

The next day, while the boys were out getting a pump on - I explored the area myself. I heard of the Starbucks Reserve Roastery. One of the largest Starbucks in the world. What’s so special about this particular starbucks, its that you get to watch the bean of your coffee get roasted right in front of your eyes. I’m not particularly a fan of coffee - go figure - or Starbucks for that matter. I am however, a fan of coffee shops and their cute ass vibes... Also given the fact Seattle is the home base of their very first shop - I, obviously, had to be a Starbucks fan girl for the day. Can’t say I was mad about it.

This is some sight to see! - Although it probably isn’t the best place to come work on my readings, it’s a fun space nonetheless.

Soon after I met up with the dudes. We walked to the Public Market - A must see. I’m sure, if you’ve ever planned a visit to Seattle - you’ve heard, or seen pictures of this famous market. 

Pike Place Market, Seattle, WA, USA

It has everything. The street artists out to entertain, flower shops, book shops, artisans showcasing their best work. The layout is very picturesque. It’s also home to the first Starbucks ever, like I mentioned earlier. Though I haven’t been lucky enough to enter it yet. The lineup is always longer than I wanna deal with... If you were blessed with more patience than me, I encourage you to give’er a go!

I had been to the Market before, but there was one thing I missed; the famous Great Gum Wall of Seattle. Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like - a wall, of chewing gum... Yep it’s also as gross as it sounds. I find it fun to cross unusual things off my bucket list (as you can see). I thrive in seeing and doing things I know are out of the ordinary. To me, that’s living. What sense is there in doing the same old thing day after day? Don’t you wanna say you saw walls filled with strangers pre-chewed gum? lol I do. It’s a little overwhelming when you get there, there’s tons of people, a lot more than I thought there’d be. I also found it more icky than I originally thought. Still glad I can say I saw it, even though I was trying my hardest not to touch anything!

Finally before heading out - we found a cute lunch place to pit-stop at, called The London Plane. My kind of place (always). You’ll find the decor to be Shabby-Chic and the interior to be all white everything. The meals were very experimental, not your typical brunch recipes. It calls for a little open mindedness - I’m giving you a heads up because I know sometimes, trying new things (for me anyway) can sound like too much effort. Sometimes a girl just wants to be basic and have a little bit of certainty in her life...None of this - taking risks stuff - especially when it comes to food. Gimme something I know I’m gonna like! unno? But with a little open mindedness, you’re good to go.

At the entrance you’ll find fresh flowers and cooking books to buy. This place has the cutest charm! I liked it - so you’ll most likely like it too - especially if you’re like me and never endlessly crave cozy feels. 

You’re welcome.

On that note, thanks for bearing with me, through this epically complicated blog! (I most likely complicated my own life - it’s a tendency of mine) but whatever, I did it!  Hope you liked it. 

Until next time
