Enneagram 2s want to be loved by you. Driven by a desire to be needed and appreciated, the Considerate Helper is empathetic, generous and self-sacrificing.

But the individual 2’s instinctual subtype has a big influence on how their desire to feel loved shows up in the world.

So, how do self-preservation, one-on-one and social 2s gain approval differently? And why are they often mistyped as a different Enneagram number entirely?

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I discuss the three subtypes of the Enneagram 2, explaining how self-preservation 2s gain approval by being charming and youthful and why this instinctual response serves as the countertype.

I explain how one-on-one 2s focus their energy on building strong intimate relationships and why they’re often mistyped as Enneagram 4s.

Listen in to understand why social 2s are frequently mistyped as 3s and learn how they use their influence to engage communities and groups.
