What does your personality type say about your sexual and relationship tendencies? The Enneagram has become an increasingly popular personality assessment and can tell us so much about our romantic and sexual nature. What does it mean if you score high on Number 2, which is a Helper, but low on Number 5, which is the Investigator? We’re going to dive into each of the 9 types with sex and personality expert, Lyndsey Fraser. I took the personality assessment myself and Lyndsey shared some interesting insight about what it might say about my sexuality. I’m getting vulnerable today!
Lyndsey is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Sex Therapist, and an International Enneagram Association (IEA) Accredited Enneagram Professional. She has presented on the intersection of the Enneagram, relationships, and sexuality in various U.S. and international forums.
Lyndsey also has had a small private practice for the last twelve years in South Minneapolis where she specializes in relationships and sexuality utilizing the Enneagram.
