QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF TO DETERMINE
WHETHER YOU MIGHT BE AN ENNEAGRAM STYLE TWO
1. Do I focus on others rather than on myself, and do I
intuitively know what someone else needs, but have a hard
time articulating my own needs, even to myself?
2. Do the four basic issues—relationship orientation, focus on
other people, denial of own needs, and pride—apply to me?
3. Does the Style Two leadership paradigm fit my view of
