So Jacob was an Enneagram 8...haha, makes total sense! I am a helper (2), but started out as an 8 as a child, and so I resonate with the "push just to see if you'll push back"...That mentality still comes out in my relationship with those closest to me (aka, my husband and kids). Also, Karen and Karen's readers, if you haven't yet, read "The Circle Maker" by Mark Batterson. It's all about getting "all Enneagram 8 on God" lol, now that I know to put it that way. ;)
Here’s the interesting thing: a healthy 8 can look like a 2, and an unhealthy 2 can look like an 8. I recommend you consider the core motivations of each one and see which you resonate more with. Our “types” don’t change over our lifetime, but depending on a lot of variables, we may look like a type we are related to (see the enneagram symbol with arrows). I am a 9. When I’m healthy and not under stress I can look like a 3. When I’m very stressed I take on the negative qualities of a 6.
The angel was God.
