Last week, we told you all about the Enneagram + today, we’re ready to share the results of Raleigh’s reader-anointed Enneagram type.
We received 25+ responses and one type reigned supreme. |
|
As voted by a majority of our readers, Raleigh’s Enneagram type is Type 3, the Achiever. Here’s what some of you had to say:
•“A long list of accomplishments, educational, economic, cultural — all of which makes the area a great place to live and work.” – Walt J. •“Raleigh is growing quickly and is becoming a major destination for those in tech. Only a 3 could achieve this.” – Mike S. •“Definitely 3! I have only lived in (and around) Raleigh since 2008, but the amount of change and growth in that short time has been astounding. Raleigh is always forward-thinking and up for trying something new. AND the population supports its innovation. Love it here!” – Serena W. •“I'm constantly hearing of Raleigh winning another spot as the top place to live or work.” – Darla B.
