What are the Enneagram Types?
The Enneagram is an ancient personality typing system that helps us to understand our motivations, strengths, and weaknesses. It describes nine distinct types of personalities, each with its core patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. The Enneagram can help us gain insight into ourselves as well as others so we can better relate to the world around us. By understanding the different types, we can have more compassion for those who may think or act differently than us and develop strategies to work together in harmony. With the knowledge of this powerful tool, you will be able to identify which type best fits you and how it affects your life daily.

Just like a delicate, unwavering flame, Type Ones burn brightly with an innate sense of right and wrong. Fueled by a desire for a better world, they strive for improvement in themselves and their surroundings. With a keen eye for detail and strong intuition, the Perfectionist guides us through life with unwavering integrity and an open heart. Thanks to these persistent leaders, society never ceases to get better! Ones crusade for change and development and continuously strive to improve and grow in their perspective. Being organized and orderly, they hold high standards for everything they come across, including themselves. Falling under the Gut or Instinctive triad, whose core emotion is anger, losing control may trigger them to lose their cool out of frustration. Ones only have to be careful not to be too critical and perfectionist when implementing their ways. 1w2 and 1w9 are the two wings for the Type One Enneagram. |

Embodying the warmth of a gentle embrace, Type Twos are compassionate, generous, and driven by a desire to be of service to others. The Helper reminds us that our world is built on a foundation of love and kindness, as they bring light into the lives of those around them with their nurturing nature. Having the purest intentions and empathy helps them naturally gain friends. They love unconditionally and know no limits in showing it. As part of the Heart or Feeling triad, whose core emotion is shame, they feel unlovable once their gestures of affection are not reciprocated. Twos must learn to set boundaries for themselves and realize that loving does not equate to neglect and self-abandonment. 2w1 and 2w3 are the two wings for the Type Two Enneagram. |

Like a mighty oak tree, Type Threes stand tall with unwavering ambition and determination. Driven by a deep desire to succeed, the Achiever excels in their chosen fields, inspiring us with their incredible work ethic and a genuine passion for growth. Type Threes are charming and self-assured, accepting their flaws and working them out for the better as they grow their knowledge and skills. In reality, as part of the Heart or Feeling triad with the core emotion of shame, they may have a low sense of self-worth behind their poised exterior. Over-achieving may be a response to cover up their suppressed insecurities. 3w2 and 3w4 are the two wings for the Type Three Enneagram. |
|---|
Type Fours are the dreamers and artists, the tender-hearted souls who navigate the depths of human emotion. They see things through rose-colored glasses, romanticizing every sensation that comes their way. Reflecting on their thoughts, words, and actions is part of their daily habits. With a rich inner landscape, the Individualist expresses their unique perspective, teaching us the beauty of vulnerability and the power of embracing our authentic selves. Their willingness to confront vulnerability empowers them to face their truth, rather than avoid it. As members of the Heart or Feeling triad, Fours grapple with a core emotion of shame. They may feel misunderstood or dismissed due to their seemingly dramatic and temperamental nature. 4w3 and 4w5 are the two wings for the Type Four Enneagram. |
|---|
Curious and inquisitive, Type Fives are the seekers of knowledge, the philosophers who unravel the mysteries of the universe. With their perceptive and analytical nature, the Investigator invites us to explore the world with an open mind, constantly pushing the boundaries of understanding. Their thirst for innovation and improvement can make them seem detached from reality. As part of the Head or Thinking triad, whose core emotion is fear, they isolate and hide their genuine selves when they feel insignificant to others. They become more secretive and eccentric, focusing and minding their own business. 5w4 and 5w6 are the two wings for the Type Five Enneagram. |
|---|
With a heart as steadfast as a lighthouse, Type Sixes offer unwavering loyalty and support. Anchored in their strong sense of responsibility, the Loyalist provides a safe haven amidst life's storms, reminding us of the importance of trust and commitment in our relationships. Sixes translate their promises into reliable actions, and you can count on their diligence and trustworthiness. These types also have the ability to foresee and troubleshoot problems before they arise. Their ever-cautious minds help them make wise and calculated decisions in life. Falling under the Head or Thinking triad, whose core emotion is fear, Sixes may find themselves riddled with anxiety when alone and lacking support from their loved ones. They can feel overwhelmed with self-doubt resulting in intrusive thoughts and evasive defense mechanisms. 6w5 and 6w7 are the two wings for the Type Six Enneagram. |
|---|
Type Sevens embody the joy and wonder of life, radiating an infectious optimism and an adventurous spirit. Their reputation as adrenaline junkies precedes them, and they go wherever the fun is – or most likely they’re the ones who initiate it. Spontaneity has always been their friend keeping them hooked for more tales of adventures. Their extroverted nature easily brings people together for random and impulsive get-togethers. Sevens constantly seek new experiences that shape their personal identity. However, as part of the Head or Thinking triad, whose core emotion is fear, these Enneagrams tend to lose their composure when put in an uncomfortable situation. They become scattered, undisciplined and insensitive to the feelings of others. 7w6 and 7w8 are the two wings for the Type Seven Enneagram. |
|---|
Powerful and resolute, Type Eights blaze their own path with a fierce sense of determination. As natural leaders, the Challenger embodies the strength and courage required to overcome obstacles, inspiring us to stand tall in the face of adversity and to embrace our inner power. They are a living example of the saying, “Leaders are born, not made,” as they lead by example and integrity, protecting their flock from any harm and disrespect. Thanks to their genuine and magnanimous hearts, they can extend their help to whoever needs it. Falling under the Gut or Instinctive triad, whose core emotion is anger, Eights lose their cool once someone tries to subdue them due to their innate desire for dominance and power. As a result, they will try to mask their real-time emotions to keep away from being vulnerable in the eyes of others. 8w7 and 8w9 are the two wings for the Type Eight Enneagram. |
|---|
Harmonious and steadfast, Type Nines seek unity and balance, embodying a calm resilience in the face of discord. As natural mediators, the Peacemaker exemplifies the capacity to create understanding, foster collaboration, and maintain stability amidst turmoil. They remind us of the power of understanding, acceptance, and the value of peaceful coexistence in the ever-changing dynamics of life. With their compassionate and optimistic nature, Type Nines offer unwavering support and encouragement to those around them. As part of the Gut or Instinctive triad, whose core emotion is anger, Nines strive to maintain inner peace and avoid confrontation, which may lead to suppressing their own needs and feelings. Consequently, they may struggle with inertia and stubbornness in their efforts to maintain harmony. 9w8 and 9w1 are the two wings for the Type Nine Enneagram. |
