S15 Ep 8Lord of the Rings | Conclusion | Frodo and Faramir

In the grand finale of our Lord of the Rings typing series, Jeff and TJ take on the final—and perhaps most nuanced—characters of Tolkien’s epic. This week, the focus is on Frodo and Faramir, two deeply reflective and emotionally complex figures whose journeys illuminate the heart of the Enneagram. As the discussion dives into Faramir’s longing to be seen and Frodo’s heavy burden of the One Ring, the hosts unpack the traits of Enneagram Fours, their struggles, and their strengths.With humor and heart, Jeff and TJ also revisit the complete typing list of the Lord of the Rings universe, reflecting on themes of duty, empathy, and the profound emotional resonance of Tolkien’s characters. Whether you're a fan of the books, the films, or simply the Enneagram, this episode ties the entire series together with insightful conclusions, some surprising debates, and a celebration of what it means to truly know oneself.Join us for this epic conclusion as we explore Frodo's quiet resolve, Faramir's inner battle for recognition, and how the Enneagram continues to guide us in understanding the stories—and lives—that matter most.

S15 Ep 7Lord of the Rings | Part VII | Merry and Legolas

Join Jeff and TJ as they dive deep into the Enneagram typings of two iconic Lord of the Rings characters: Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck and Legolas. Is Merry a loyal caretaker Type 2, and what does his relationship with Pippin reveal about his journey? Could Legolas's competitive nature and sleek precision point to him being a Type 3, or does his keen observational style suggest something else entirely? Along the way, we explore their growth, stress responses, and what these beloved characters teach us about ourselves.With plenty of humor, insights, and a few jabs at Orlando Bloom's portrayal, this episode is a must-listen for Enneagram enthusiasts and Tolkien fans alike.Around the Circle is your home for thoughtful Enneagram conversations, pop culture deep dives, and more.

S15 Ep 6Lord of the Rings | Part VI | Gollum, Denethor, Galadriel, Arwen

In Part 6 of our epic Lord of the Rings Enneagram series, we dive deep into the personalities of four iconic Middle-earth characters. Join Jeff and TJ as they explore the complexities of Gollum’s internal struggle, Denethor’s volatile relationships, Galadriel’s ethereal wisdom, and Arwen’s steadfast devotion. How does the Enneagram reveal the deeper motives and emotional patterns behind their choices? And why do certain types resonate so powerfully in Tolkien’s world?This episode is packed with insights, debates, and a few surprises as we continue our journey through the greatest trilogy of all time. Plus, we set the stage for our next discussion with Mary Brandybuck front and center. Tune in, geek out, and maybe even leave us a review—because being the 200th reviewer is basically like holding the One Ring (without the corruption).Don’t forget to visit aroundthecircle.org for exclusive content, and may all good things be yours!

We also tackle the heartfelt question: Is Sam a devoted Type 2 or a loyal Type 6? Whether you're an Enneagram enthusiast, a Tolkien fan, or both, this is your guide to understanding the inner lives of these iconic characters.🔗 Follow us on Instagram and Twitter, and don’t forget to rate, review, and share! 🌟
