I’m a 4 and as always you nailed it. Quality time is important. You said being seen…this really hit home for me, thank you for recognizing that need, Dr. LaHue. Having my feelings or what I’m going through validated helps me feel seen. It is nice to have someone do some of the mundane thing’s around the house so I can do what feels more meaningful to me. Thanks for the video. 😊

From a 1, it makes us feel seen and supported when you remove one of the things we obsess over (for your benefit) from our plate. Edit: a 7 is just about the best choice for a 1 who wants to stretch themselves. Loving a 7 will help you keep your control and rigidity in check and expand your life.

Or a #9 is great for a #1 who like their calmness, unhurriedness, & #9's get rid of my irritation by getting along with all. That is my story for my good marriage. I see #7's as too selfish...their fun, their pleasure and shirking duties.

Tom, you're great! I love your videos and your sense of humor (there's one for you, ya' type 7!). A friend of mine introduced me to the Enneagram, and I've become slightly obsessed with it. I've been able to use it to strengthen my relationship with my husband, kids and my own parents. Your videos have been a big part of this Enneagram journey I continue to be on. Thanks for all you do! God bless!

1:10:07 (9 as referee) Growing up with a textbook 6 Dad, I said "Oh, Mom, I don't think that's what Dad meant" and "Dad, you're stressing us all out" a couple times a week at least, from probably age 4 to when I moved out at 23! So accurate it stopped me in my tracks.

I’m a counter 8 and my top is quality time. Acts of service is probably second. My husband is a 1 and you nailed it! Words of affirmation is big to my 1. He does so much for all of us all the time, I wish he’d sit down and relax every once in awhile though. I have to remember to tell him how much I appreciate what he does for us and this helps me understand why he needs it more than I do.

This was too accurate! My husband's a Type 1 and he loves it when I help around the house (acts of service). I'm a Type 4 and I definitely need quality time/conversational companion/validation & I do need time for my creative endeavours and hate doing mundane tasks!

I still have not found a partner since my divorce in 2005, but honestly haven’t done anything much to help me find one. Had a couple flings with some very weird dudes…fun for a couple months but also quite unfulfilling. No one I can really say fits has dropped in my lap, either. As a 9 not so sure why I don’t really feel lonely except to say, keeping it simple is part of it, having a strong spiritual program, work and a great dog fills a lot of my needs and sense of purpose! Hope you are happy and well! Always great to see and hear you! B

Surely, Ones aren't as bad as that! Yes, we can be critical, but we can also be very encouraging. Most Ones I know offer positive feedback in a clear, direct, non-gushing kind of way. We never give fake praise so, when we do praise, it's genuine and therefore worth something. In return, I think the love language we receive best from others would be reliability, trustworthiness and appreciation of all our hard work. So, yes, I agree that acts of service and words of affirmation are right up there. If I'm worked up about something, whatever you do, don't try to calm me down or fail to react. That will annoy me even more. Empathising is the best approach; that and humour. Ones love to laugh, and they're quite witty, in my experience. As such, a one-liner can help me lighten up, but only *after* empathising with what I'm dealing with. A brief, "Yes, those people you're working with really are fools" can work wonders 😉

I appreciate your perspective! It's true that Ones can be both critical and encouraging, and that balance makes their feedback valuable. Empathy and a good laugh really do go a long way!

Some thing I have found to be true as a 5 is that, since I don’t need affection from most people, I do need it from my spouse. My spouse is a 2, though, so it could be me subconsciously meeting his needs!

I’m an 8w7 and quality time is definitely my love language! It was very interesting when you said that our communication style is commands. I’ve actually been praying for myself for years that I would stop commanding people to do things and instead ask them. But to be honest, it’s natural for me to command-because in my mind, they really don’t have a choice. 🤣

I feel like our animal should be a silver-back gorilla. We are protective of our inner circle and will destroy anyone who hurts them. But we are very intense and you have to not be intimidated if we’re going to feel comfortable around you. Also, see the gentle side of us that all 8s have. 💛

Hi Dr. Tom. A 9 here in St. Paul, MN. (I'm a 9 wing-8 at work because my boss is an 8 wing-7. We have some fun times--and I'm only half joking about that.) The most resonate thing you said about the 9s was: "You are human." Honestly, I often feel like an alien on this planet. Sometimes other people totally disregard me. Not in the mean-spirited "you're-a-waste-of-space" way but because, in general, I'm either pretty agreeable overall or advocating for somebody/something else. Which goes with the territory, I get it--but just to be acknowledged as a human would be huge. Thanks for your light-hearted but profound insights on the Enneagram. It's been fun to watch you grow over the years.

I believe I 'm a 4sp. For me, quality time with no doubt, and then physical touch. Gifts are stressful to me, and acts of service are a practical thing, and not romantic, they don't work for me romantically speaking. As for the needs, I can't pick one, they all seem so important.😊

As a 5w4, I'm laughing right now... I actually did go to the Comic-Con museum for my birthday this year, specifically to see an obscure Neil Gaiman art exhibit. I'm now realizing that that's about as 5w4 as it gets! 😂I had a great time with my husband and kids there that day, and yes, having my family around me in that geeky place made me feel loved.

I'm a type 9 and my wife is a type 4. She definitely desires validation, quality time a conversational companion and acts of service. I don't know what my love language is. I don't really treasure anything on the list more than quiet time to myself. Does that fall under quality time?

I'm a four and I would say quality time is very important but I would say words of affirmation is a close second. Sometimes, I think it's my primary love language. I absolutely find acts of services off putting. It feels patronizing and infantilizing. I like to do things by myself. Yeah if I'm depressed I don want to do anything and want to stay in bed all day but when I'm not, I don't "hate doing mundane things".

My ENTJ Enneagram 3 successful KZbinr son has asked me several times not to say I’m proud of him. 🤔 When when he was 10, he said, “Mama, please don’t cheer for me when I get a hit (in baseball), because it means the opposite is true, too.” What do you think about that, Dr. Tom?
