If You're An Enneagram Type 3, Here Are The TV Shows You Should Watch

If you don't know your Enneagram type, you may want to find out, as it can give you valuable insight into why you are the way you are. There are nine Enneagram personality types, which are represented by numbers and titles such as loyalist, challenger, investigator, helper, and more. Each of the nine types is characterized by how they behave, what drives them, and what they fear (via Verywell Mind). By taking a simple Enneagram test, you'll not only be able to figure out what your specific type is but also learn more about your strengths and how to use them to your advantage. On the flip side, you can learn more about your weaknesses and how you can overcome them.

However, Enneagram 3 types don't have to have comedy twisted into the storylines of their favorite shows, as they may also enjoy some darker series as well.

Enneagram 3's may enjoy Game of Thrones and Riverdale as well.

According to Crystal Knows, those with Enneagram 3 personality types may also find themselves drawn to the intricate world of "Game of Thrones." The HBO series, which also has a prequel titled "House of the Dragon," will certainly have your heart racing with all of the action, drama, and vivid storytelling that is depicted in the series. Screen Rant reveals that while watching "Game of Thrones," you may even relate to the character of Daenerys Targaryen, as she shares your Enneagram type. Innercle claims that Jamie Lannister also has achiever qualities.
