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.
If you're an Enneagram 3, or "the achiever," you likely possess qualities such as being highly adaptable to the situations and circumstances around you, having a high energy level that you can use to set goals and accomplish tasks, as well as prioritize your own personal growth and happiness. The Enneagram 3 also has a reputation for seeking acceptance from those around them, in addition to fearing being unloved and unwanted, per Crystal Knows.
Career paths that have been known to mesh well with Enneagram 3 personality types include politics, law, advertising, finances, and medicine. As for what the type likes for entertainment, there are a few television shows that "the achiever" may find appealing.
Enneagram 3's should check out Schitt's Creek, Succession, and The Great
For Enneagram 3 personality types who love a bit of drama mixed into their comedy shows, "Schitt's Creek" is for you, per Crystal Knows. The show features a lot of heart and many laughs with a bit of drama sprinkled in. There's also a wildly popular character that you'll likely relate to, as Alexis Rose is said to be an Enneagram 3 just like you (via Screen Rant). She never stops pushing toward her goals and eventually creates a beautiful life for herself. With other characters such as Johnny, Moira, and David Rose to entertain you, you'll likely be pleasantly surprised by this fan-favorite series.
Meanwhile, those with Enneagram 3 traits might also enjoy the drama/comedy "Succession." The series touches on everything from family feuds to wealth and business, politics, and more. The show will give you achievers a great balance of both intense scenes and fun comedic rapport. Another dramedy that you may find fun and fascinating is Hulu's "The Great," a story about a royal living in Russia during the 18th century. The show stars Elle Fanning, Nicholas Hoult, and Phoebe Fox (via IMDb).
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.
Another dark and dramatic show that you might want to consider tuning into is "Riverdale," as one of the main characters, Veronica Lodge, is said to be a classic Enneagram 3 (via The Every Girl). Veronica is hard-working, ambitious, supportive of her loved ones, and a bit self-centered. Not to mention she's one of the most beloved characters on the show.
Enneagram 3's have plenty of choices to keep them entertained when it comes to their TV viewing, and it may just be easy for them to spot the characters that share many of their same personality traits.
