CNET Individual Typing & Assessment Process Flashcards

In the Narrative Tradition, what is the PRIMARY method used to determine a person's Enneagram type?

Answer: Self-identification through listening to first-person panel accounts

The Narrative Tradition relies on self-identification facilitated by listening to first-person panel stories rather than externally administered tests.

Why do CNET-trained teachers caution against typing others without their participation?

Answer: External typing bypasses the self-reflective process essential to the Narrative Tradition

Typing someone externally skips the inner self-recognition that is foundational to the Narrative Tradition's ethical and pedagogical approach.

Which factor most commonly causes mistyping during the CNET assessment process?

Answer: Answering based on aspirational behavior rather than habitual patterns

Mistyping frequently occurs when individuals answer based on who they want to be rather than the automatic, habitual patterns that define their core type.

What role does a CNET teacher play when a student is uncertain between two Enneagram types?

Answer: Provide additional panel stories and questions to deepen self-inquiry

A CNET teacher supports the student's own discernment by offering more first-person narratives and reflective questions rather than declaring a type for them.

In the CNET framework, what is the significance of the 'aha moment' in typing?

Answer: It is the instant of self-recognition when a person feels deeply seen by a type description

The 'aha moment' is a felt sense of inner recognition — the signature experience in the Narrative Tradition that confirms self-identified type.

How should a CNET teacher handle a situation where a participant strongly resists a type that seems apparent from their narrative?

Answer: Let resistance pass without comment and offer other type stories for comparison

Resistance is respected in the Narrative Tradition; teachers invite further exploration without imposing a conclusion.
