Here’s the Vegetable You’d Be, Based On Your Enneagram Type

Let’s be honest: if someone walked up to you and said, “Hey, what vegetable are you?” you’d probably either A) assume it’s a weird personality quiz or B) question your life choices that led to this moment. Either way, here we are. You’re reading this. I’m writing this. We’re about to match your soul to something that gets chopped into stew.

And weirdly? It works.

Because vegetables—like people—come with layers, flavors, temperaments, and the occasional ability to cause digestive distress.

So let’s find your inner produce.

Type One: The Spinach

You’re spinach. Not flashy. Not needy. Just out here doing the hard, morally upright work of making humanity better—one bite of iron-rich goodness at a time.

Spinach doesn’t need to yell. It doesn’t need attention. It just shows up in your smoothie, your salad, your lasagna—and quietly improves things. That’s you, dear One. Quietly judging iceberg lettuce while reforming the entire fridge shelf by shelf.

You have principles. Standards. A deep inner desire to be good and do good—which would be inspiring if it didn’t also come with the compulsion to reorganize someone else’s spice cabinet because it was giving you anxiety.

At your best, you’re deeply nourishing. You elevate everything around you. You remind people what integrity looks like.

At your worst? You’re bitter. A little rigid. And prone to passive-aggressively steaming in the background while muttering, “I just think it’s interesting that no one followed the recipe.”

But even then, you’re still good for people. You’re the reason society doesn’t collapse into a pudding cup of impulsive chaos.

Type Two: The Sweet Potato

Warm, generous, soft on the inside. You’re the casserole at Thanksgiving everyone fights over—because you make people feel safe, seen, and slightly guilty for not calling their grandma back.

Sweet potatoes are what happens when a root vegetable gets therapy and decides to heal its inner child with brown sugar and marshmallows. Which is… kind of your vibe. You’re nurturing. You’re delicious. You’re constantly trying to emotionally support the other vegetables even when you’re literally being mashed.

Type Three: The Romanesco

You’re Romanesco—the vegetable that looks like it was designed by a math-obsessed alien with a flair for the dramatic.

Let’s get real: Romanesco doesn’t just show up. It arrives. It spirals onto the scene like a floral fireworks display and quietly dares every other vegetable to try harder. It’s geometry. It’s performance. It’s a TED Talk in cruciferous form.

And that’s you, dear Three.

Threes want to succeed, look good doing it, and maybe casually revolutionize an industry while pretending it was no big deal. You’re charming. You’re driven. You give strong “Instagram-worthy but make it a business plan” energy. And like Romanesco, you look like you’ve got it all together—but under the fractal perfection is someone wondering if they’re still lovable without the gold stars.

At your worst? You’re curating your personality for applause, swapping authenticity for applause emojis.

At your best? You’re mesmerizing. Motivating. A reminder that excellence can be beautiful and soul-driven when it’s coming from a place of truth—not just the need to prove you’re worth the table you’re seated at.

Type Four: The Eggplant

Aesthetically misunderstood. Emotionally rich. Prone to being roasted in ways that either transform you into a culinary masterpiece or make people cry from bitterness.

You’re eggplant: dark, velvety, and slightly overcommitted to your identity as “the mysterious one.” If vegetables had Tumblr blogs, eggplant would be the one posting moody black-and-white close-ups of rain on windowpanes.

Fours want to be authentic. They crave meaning. Eggplants want to be parmigiana. They crave breadcrumbs and someone who sees them. But they also absorb everything—flavor, oil, emotion.

At your worst? You’re cold, slimy, and convinced nobody will ever understand you. At your best? You’re comfort food for the soul.

Type Five: Kale

Yeah, I said it. You’re kale. Dense. Nutrient-rich. Intimidating to the uninitiated.

Kale isn’t here to be your friend. Kale is here because it’s efficient, full of vitamins, and has depth that few truly appreciate because they’re focused on shallow stuff like….flavor. Instead, you’re strategic. Quiet. Kind of crunchy in an existential way.

You observe more than you speak. And when you do speak? It’s with the weight of a thousand Wikipedia tabs and three years of overthinking. Fives, like kale, are best when massaged—emotionally and literally.

At your worst, you’re inaccessible and kind of bitter. At your best, you’re a superfood of insight, clarity, and dry humor no one saw coming.

Type Six: The Potato

Is the potato glamorous? No. Is it essential? Absolutely.

You’re the potato. Loyal, adaptable, suspicious of the air fryer. Potatoes stick around. They’re built for famine, comfort, and feeding everyone in the village while second-guessing every recipe along the way.

Sixes are prepared. They have contingency plans. So do potatoes. You can boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew. (Shoutout to Samwise Gamgee.) You’re hearty. You’re reliable. And you’re one step away from an identity crisis if someone accuses you of being “boring.”

But you’re not. You’re necessary. You’re the emotional grounding force. You also might have a dozen tabs open called “Signs I Can Trust This Person” and “How to Prepare for Societal Collapse.”

At your worst? You’re hiding in a pantry of paranoia. At your best? You’re feeding the world and quietly holding everyone together.

Type Seven: The Sugar Snap Pea

You are literally sunshine in legume form. Sugar snap peas are sweet, crunchy, and way more fun than they have any right to be.

Sevens are driven by FOMO, spontaneous ideas, and an inner child who got left alone with a trampoline and six Capri Suns. Sugar snap peas are the same. They bounce. They flirt with your taste buds. They make a charcuterie board feel like a party.

But let’s be real: there’s only so long you can bounce before exhaustion kicks in. Under the high energy is a fear of being stuck in pain. You joke your way out of trauma like it’s a competitive sport.

At your worst, you’re a distracted mess of half-started projects and chaotic snack energy. At your best? You’re an infusion of hope, joy, and the reason people still go outside.

Type Eight: The Jalapeño

You knew it was coming.

You’re the jalapeño. Spicy. Assertive. Capable of burning people who underestimate you.

Eights are intense. So are jalapeños. People either seek you out or avoid you based on whether they’re emotionally prepared. You’re not here to be liked—you’re here to live. On your own terms. With extra heat.

You’re a protector. You punch back when life throws shade. You also start kitchen fires, but that’s part of your charm. You’re misunderstood until you’re the exact flavor someone needs to wake up.

At your worst? You explode at the wrong time and make people cry. At your best? You’re bold, courageous, and exactly what a bland world needs to feel alive again.

Type Nine: The Cucumber

Calm. Cool. Non-confrontational to the point of disappearing into a salad.

You’re the cucumber. The human embodiment of a spa day. You bring peace to the table, literally and emotionally. Nines are mediators. Cukes are palette cleansers. Coincidence? I think not.

You go with the flow. You soak up other flavors. And sometimes, you forget you have a flavor of your own. But you do. And it’s refreshing. You’re the chill friend everyone leans on while chaos reigns elsewhere. But just because you’re not yelling doesn’t mean you’re not feeling.

At your worst? You’re passive-aggressively hiding in the fridge and pretending you’re fine. At your best? You’re uniting sides of the sandwich that were never meant to touch.

Closing Thoughts: So What Now?

So now that you know which vegetable you are, what do you do with this information?

Nothing. Or everything. You could make it your personality. Get it tattooed. Start introducing yourself as “Hi, I’m Ashley and I’m a sugar snap pea.” Or you could just sit with it. Let it marinate. Stir-fry it into your identity.

Every type has value. Every vegetable brings something to the table (pun absolutely intended). Some add spice. Some add comfort. Some show up when you’re starving and save your life in a stew.

And no matter which one you are, you’re not here by accident.

So whether you’re spicy, sweet, crunchy, complicated, or trying to be everything at once—own it.

Just maybe don’t let anyone turn you into soup without your consent.
