About this episode
This episode explores how different Enneagram personality types handle stress during finals week.
It’s the busiest time of the semester, and everyone has a different "battle plan" for getting through it. In this episode, we’re looking at finals week through the lens of the Enneagram to see how our unique personality types shape our study habits, our focus, and our approach to the finish line. Rather than just talking about the pressure, we’re exploring the different ways the nine types show up during exam season. From the hyper-organized planners to the big-picture dreamers, understanding your Enneagram type can help you lean into your strengths and navigate your blind spots during the most demanding week of the year.
