Have you ever daydreamed about being best friends with a celebrity, strolling the red carpet and achieving your 15 minutes of fame? Maybe you’ve wondered what celebrity you’d have the most in common with. Is it Taylor Swift, Elon Musk, or Kate Middleton?

In this article, we’ve located the most relatable celebrities for all nine Enneagram types, so read on to find your famous match below. 

Type 1: Martha Stewart 

Martha Stewart’s journey from owning a small catering business in the ’70s to a media empire worth $142 million epitomizes the high standards and ambition of a Type One, “The Reformer.” Known for her meticulous nature, Martha once confessed to Oprah, “I’m a maniacal perfectionist… and if I weren’t, I wouldn’t have this company.”

Her drive and determination have made her one of the most recognizable brands. From gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated at the age of 82 to authoring her 100th book, Martha is constantly striving to improve and grow, not allowing anything to hold her back, even the need to rest. As she has said (via Inc.Africa),“I catnap now and then, but I think while I nap, so it’s not a waste of time.”

That’s Martha, displaying the sense of duty and hard work that’s typical of a Type One.

Type 2: Dolly Parton

Beloved singer-songwriter and philanthropist Dolly Parton embodies the nurturing spirit of a Two. With her iconic quote, “If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours,” Parton reflects her deep-seated desire to spread joy in the world. 

Her generosity shines through her actions, like when she donated $1 million to fund research for the Moderna vaccine during the Covid pandemic and raised $700,000 for flood victims in Tennessee. “I’m kind of addicted to the feeling of giving,” she shared with People. This frank confession perfectly captures the essence of a Two’s need to make a positive impact.

Although she loves helping others, Parton dreamed of fame from when she was a little girl, displaying the Two’s need to be popular. She recalls growing up in a one-room cabin on the Little Pigeon River in Tennessee, playing outside in the yard and pretending her family’s chickens were her fans!  

Type 3: Taylor Swift 

Taylor Swift, a powerhouse of the music industry, perfectly illustrates the drive and adaptability of a Three. With multiple Grammy Awards to her name and a reputation for curating her public image, Swift is both goal-oriented and image-conscious. But it’s not just ambition that motivates her—she  admits to having a deep fear of failure. “I’m always afraid of failing,” she revealed to the Daily Beast. “I have to quiet the fear if I’m going to get up in the morning.” 

Swift embodies the relentless ambition of a Three. To prepare for her recent “Eras” tour, she trained for six months. “Every day I would run on the treadmill, singing the entire set list out loud,” she tells ABC News. “Fast for fast songs, and a jog or a fast walk for slow songs. Then I had three months of dance training, because I wanted to get it in my bones. I wanted to be so over-rehearsed that I could be silly with the fans, and not lose my train of thought.” 

That’s dedication! 

Type 4: Bob Dylan 

Bob Dylan, the legendary musician and Nobel laureate, captures the individualism of a Type Four. This Enneagram type is known for being creative and sensitive with a deep sense of identity; all traits that Dylan personifies through his writing and music.

In interviews, he’s emphasized the importance of having an inspiring environment to encourage his creativity. “For me, the environment to write the song is extremely important,” he says (via The Marginalian). “The environment has to bring something out in me that wants to be brought out.” He adds, “People need peaceful, invigorating environments. Stimulating environments.” 

His feelings of being different and misunderstood, which he has expressed in his autobiography and interviews, also resonate with Four’s quest for authenticity and identity. “There was a missing person inside of myself and I needed to find him,” Dylan wrote in his biography, Chronicles, Volume One. “Wherever I am, I’m a ’60s troubadour, a folk-rock relic, a wordsmith from bygone days, a fictitious head of state from a place nobody knows.” 

Type 5: Stephen King 

Fives are known as “The Investigator” because they love learning about how the world works. They enjoy reflecting on ideas and feel excited when they find a new one. Bestselling author Stephen King  has a highly contemplative nature that’s typical of a Type Five.

His creative process often begins with simple observations that spark elaborate ideas, as this story he shared with ABC News displays. “I was in the market one day and, uh, I was shopping, and I looked toward the front, and I saw the whole front of the market was plate glass. And what I thought of when I saw those big plate glass windows was, ‘What if giant bugs started to fly into the glass?’” This observation inspired his popular novella, The Mist, and it displays his analytical approach to storytelling.

Fives can become obsessive about their ideas, and King has expressed this tendency. “I have all these crazy dreams, usually not very pleasant ones because whatever machinery that you have that goes into writing stories, it doesn’t want to stop,” he told Rolling Stone. “So if it’s not going on the page, it has to go somewhere, and I have these mind dreams.”  

Type 6: Jennifer Aniston 

Actress Jennifer Aniston rose to fame on the hit TV show Friends, and since then has charmed her way into people’s hearts. Her down-to-earth nature, strong emphasis on sisterhood, and ambition has made her relatable to many and loved by millions of fans. As a Type Six, as she values security in life.

Aniston is known for having a strong, supportive group of friends that includes fellow celebrities Courteney Cox, Adam Sandler and Jimmy Kimmel. She embraces the security of her social circle, saying (via Today): “We come from homes far from perfect [and] you end up almost [like a] parent and sibling to your friends, your chosen family. There’s nothing like a really loyal, dependable, good friend. Nothing.”

Aniston’s steady Hollywood career that spans decades also mirrors the Six’s desire for stability. In addition, her skepticism about the media, as voiced in her Huffington Post essay, highlights the Six’s questioning nature. In the piece, she expresses anger and frustration at how the media scrutinizes women’s bodies and choices, writing, “The way I am portrayed by the media is simply a reflection of how we see and portray women in general, measured against some warped standard of beauty.” 

Type 7: Ryan Reynolds 

Actor Ryan Reynolds, with his infectious humor and boundless energy, is a quintessential Type Seven. Known for their zest for life, Sevens are constantly in pursuit of new experiences. Reynolds has spoken about having various hobbies, from watching black-and-white movies on TMC to owning a motorbike collection worth over $100,000. 

Reynolds’s fun-loving personality can be seen on social media in how he playfully trolls his wife, Blake Lively. But despite the lightheartedness he shows online and in interviews, Reynolds acknowledges the need to avoid unpleasant feelings, which is true to Sevens. 

“I find that I get a little depressed if I don’t move my body each day, so sometimes it’s just as simple as walking, and other times it’s training for a marathon or some kind of personal goal that I’m trying to meet,” he said (via BrainyQuote).

Type 8: Serena Williams

Serena Williams, a formidable force in tennis, embodies the strength and determination of an Eight. Known as “The Challenger,” Eights are known for their assertiveness and drive to overcome obstacles, qualities Williams has displayed throughout her illustrious career.

Williams’ ability to use criticism as a motivating force is also a classic Eight trait. “I’ve built a career on channeling anger and negativity and turning it into something good,” she told Vogue. 

Eights feel it’s their calling to fight for justice. Williams’ advocacy for body positivity has contributed to her becoming a powerful role model, inspiring others to stand strong and believe in themselves. As she has said (via Time), “You can be whatever size you are, and you can be beautiful both inside and out. We’re always told what’s beautiful and what’s not, and that’s not right.” 

Type 9: Morgan Freeman 

Actor Morgan Freeman, with his calming presence and soothing voice, is a perfect example of a Nine. This Enneagram type seeks harmony and avoids conflict, traits Freeman displays in his choice of roles and real life.

Known for playing wise characters like God in Bruce Almighty, Freeman’s on-screen roles tend to reflect his inner tranquility. In his personal life, Freeman has maintained a down-to-earth persona that’s true to Nine’s need to remain humble. “I am the Zen-guy,” he confirmed in an interview with The Talks.

His charitable efforts, such as the Rock River Foundation, showcase his desire to create a peaceful and supportive world. He told The Talks, “Sometimes [life is] painful and sometimes it's stressful, sometimes it’s agonizing even, so I think once you get around those humps: strive for pleasure and peace.”
