Introduction to Tritype®

Aristotle suggested that true internal harmony could be achieved only when internal conditions allow each aspect of the psyche to perform what it was primitively meant to perform.

One’s Enneagram Tritype® identifies key aspects of the psyche, which, when understood, can illuminate the path to greater self-awareness and a more fulfilling life.

What is the Enneagram Tritype®?

Extensive research has shown that one has not one, but three Enneagram Types used in a preferred order. These three Enneagram Types always occur in each of the three centers of intelligence: head, heart and gut. The Enneagram Tritype® combination identifies these three Enneagram Types, adding significant precision, accuracy and scope to the Enneagram Typing process.

One of the three types in one’s Tritype® is dominant or primary and represents the ego’s preferred defense strategy. However, when the strategy of the dominant Enneagram Type fails, the ego then uses the strategies of the other two types within the Tritype® in a repeating, descending order. In an attempt to solve a problem, the ego will continue to deploy the other two types in the Tritype® until the issue is resolved.

The defense strategies of the types within the Tritype® combine, creating a unique focus of attention with a shared worldview. Research1 suggests that the common theme found among the three types within one’s Tritype® identifies one’s archetypal life purpose and a critical blind spot to self-awareness. In addition, the shared view by the types in one’s Tritype® gives important clues as to what is needed to live a more conscious and meaningful life.

The high side of the intersection of these three Enneagram Types is that they define what gives life direction, focus and purpose for the individual with that Tritype® combination. The low side of this intersection is that the defense strategies collude, narrowing one’s ability to accurately self-assess. This collusion is both an asset and a liability. One’s strengths are a result of these three types working in concert with one another. One’s weaknesses are a result of this collusion as well, limiting self-awareness and spiritual growth, creating what we term an egoic ‘blind spot.’

Making this blind spot conscious often releases neurotic symptoms just as aligning one’s self with the archetypal energies found in the three types in one’s Tritype® can align one with their life purpose and mission. Identifying one’s Tritype® Archetype creates an opportunity to discover one’s innate abilities, develop expertise and experience a greater sense of satisfaction.

Enneagram Background

The Enneagram is a dynamic 9 point personality system that combines sophisticated modern psychological tools with ancient wisdom. The Enneagram symbol (any•a•gram; ennea is Greek for nine, and gram means drawing) is a circle enclosing nine equidistant points connected by nine intersecting lines. This symbol has its roots in the Middle

East in ancient spiritual traditions. The nine points represent the ways in which the nine different personality types perceive and defend their realities. As we know it today, the Enneagram is a vital link between Eastern spirituality and Western psychology. It is a theory of nine personality types that is complex and sophisticated and yet is a sensible and easily understood tool for self-discovery.

The wisdom of the Enneagram is that it recognizes nine very different yet inherently valid views of reality. The power of the Enneagram is that it is a profound and comprehensive tool to harness and transform self-defeating behavior into life-enhancing personal empowerment. The gift of the Enneagram is that through self-discovery, one can create and sustain meaningful and lasting relationships.

The Enneagram symbol dates back to Pythagoras. It was brought to the West by George Gurdjieff around 1900. In the late 1960s, Oscar Ichazo introduced ‘Enneagons’ as a tool for self-discovery to a group in Arica, Chile. He was the first to identify key aspects of each of the nine Enneagram Types. Dr. Claudio Naranjo was a part of that group. In the early 1970s, Dr. Naranjo expanded on Ichazo’s work and began teaching the Enneagram to a SAT (Seekers after Truth) group in Berkeley, California in the USA.

Later, Maria Beesing, Patrick O’Leary, Robert Nogosek, Don Riso, Russ Hudson, Helen Palmer, Dr. David Daniels and others added new elements to the understanding of the Enneagram Types. In 1995, Katherine Chernick began her first empirical research exploring the self-image of the nine types. This research revealed that each Enneagram Type had a self-image that included positive attributes accompanied by a set of core fears. More importantly, the image statements combined with the corresponding core fears revealed the more hidden, ‘internal experience’ of type. This further explained the underlying motivations that drive the behaviors of the nine types. In 1996, David Fauvre began building systems to confirm these findings.

Enneagram Type Idealized Self-Image and Core Fears

Type Idealized Self-Image Core Fears

1 I am good, right, in control, responsible diligent, appropriate. Resentment with the fear of being wrong, bad, evil, angry, inappropriate, unqualified, corruptible, irresponsible, careless, condemned, unredeemable

2 I am caring, nurturing, helpful, altruistic, appealing Pride with the fear of being worthless, immutable, unhelpful, unappreciated, needy, inconsequential, unacknowledged, unneeded, useless or dispensable

With knowledge of the image statements and the core fears, one can observe the core triggers that influence one’s ability to successfully respond to any given situation and avoid habitual, self-defeating reactivity. Ultimately, the Enneagram is an invaluable tool that defines nine distinct life strategies which, when understood, can give crucial insight into developing critical self-awareness.

Enneagram Centers of Intelligence

The nine Enneagram Types are grouped into three triads. There are three Enneagram Types in each triad. Each triad represents a different center of intelligence: head (567), heart (234) and gut (891). In human nature, we use all three centers but tend to overuse one of these three centers. In the center that we overuse, one will overuse one of the three types. This is one’s dominant or primary Enneagram Type.

Gut Center

The instinctual or gut center (8-9-1) is body-based and can be seen as having a desire to direct their own course and take action in the world. They focus on their physical environment. They are gutsy, instinctive and visceral. Their primary issues are judgment, denial and resistance. They may struggle with being asleep to their true self. Whether or not they overtly express it, they are motivated and take action when they are angry. They fear being unimportant, neglected or overlooked. They seek acceptance and a sense of well-being. Most of all, they want to be allowed to



be themselves and to be respected for who they are. As a child, they often felt they lacked the space to be or exist and could not be themselves.

Heart Center

The emotional or heart center (2-3-4) is feeling-based and can be seen as having a desire to positively affect others. They focus on their relationships. They are heartfelt, emotive and adaptable. Their primary issues are of craving attention, needing affirmation and wanting to be attached to others. They may struggle with being identified with their image or ‘false’ self. Whether or not they overtly express it, they are motivated by and take action when they feel emotional anxiety. They fear being ignored and unseen. Most of all, they want to avoid feeling grief and shame, and to be seen as having merit and value in the eyes of others. They seek attention and admiration. As a child, they often felt they lacked accurate mirroring.

Mental Center

The mental or thinking center (5-6-7) is thought-based and can be seen as having a desire to give greater importance to the interior world of ideas. They focus on their thoughts. They are knowledgeable, intellectual and visionary. Their primary issues are aversion, avoidance and projection with a focus on authority. They struggle with preconceptions that can manifest as prejudices and the fear of being alienated. Whether or not they overtly express it, they are motivated by and take action when they feel fear and anxiety. They fear chaos and their ability to cope with it. They seek reassurance; whether from an authority, a theology, a philosophy, or a kind word. Most of all they want to have clarity and certainty. As a child, they often felt they lacked trustworthy and consistent guidance from adults.

Wings

Another Enneagram Type flanks each Enneagram Type on either side. These two types are known as the primary Enneagram Type’s ‘wing’ types. One’s Enneagram Type is a result of the tension between these two adjacent wing types; the dominant type emerges to manage the conflicting needs of the types on either side. Both wings are always present, however, one of the wing types may be expressed more externally. One’s dominant wing type influences the expression of one’s primary type.

For example, all 5s are focused on gathering information to be safe and secure in the world. However, a 5 with a 4 wing may be more individualistic than a 5 with a 6 wing which may be more scientific.

Another example is the difference between the 2 with the 1 wing and the 2 with the 3 wing. All 2s want to create relationships. The 2 with the 1 wing is focused on being in relationship by doing what is right and moral whereas the 2 with the 3 wing is focused on being in relationship by doing what is best and admirable.

Lines of Connection

Enneagram Types are not static. The nine Enneagram Types have depth and dimension with a dynamic association to other types within the Enneagram symbol. Each Enneagram Type is connected to two other types by lines on the Enneagram symbol. These connections have also been known as ‘disintegration and integration’ and ‘stress and security’ points.” Contrary to early teachings, research has revealed that one uses these lines of connections equally and do not use one line in ‘disintegration or stress’ and the other in ‘integration and security.’

The lines on the Enneagram symbol represent the way the types function in relationship to one another. When a



type encounters a difficult situation it will employ the strategies of the two types along its lines of connection. This happens in both directions and is known as the inner flow within the Enneagram symbol. A type can utilize the positive or negative aspects of its lines of connection to solve a problem. At times, one may use one line more than the other to manage an issue but both lines are always available.

For example, the Type 4 is connected by a line to Type 2 and Type 1. When the Type 4 is trying to solve a problem, it will employ aspects of Type 1 and Type 2. The Type 4 will remain dominant but as needed will use the strategies of Type 1 and Type 2.

Instinctual Types and Subtypes

There are three instinctual drives that govern the manner in which one will focus on survival. In the context of the Enneagram, these three drives, or ‘instincts,’ are referred to as self-preservation (sp)--the search for safety, security and well-being, social (so)--the search for others, groups and community, and sexual (sx)--the search for a mate, closeness and one to one bonds.

Whether consciously expressed or not, one will exhibit all three of these instinctual drives to varying degrees throughout the day. Each Enneagram Type is influenced by these instinctual drives but one is dominant, and more influential than the other two. This is called one’s dominant Instinctual Type or Subtype. The nine Enneagram Types combined with the three Instinctual Drives results in 27 Instinctual Subtypes.

Self-Preservation

The self-preservation instinct is focused on food, shelter, clothing, time, energy, money and supplies. They are driven by an ongoing search for survival. This drive is defined by a need for vigilance, aggression and protectiveness, and a fundamental sense that one needs to fight to survive. The fear is of annihilation. Anything that could possibly damage, endanger or exploit the self is of concern. They feel that they must have an abundance of resources to survive.

Social

The social instinct is focused on relationships with others and more importantly, on who is doing what with whom. They are driven by an ongoing search for others, akin to the herd instinct in animals where there are safety and security in numbers. This drive involves a sense of needing to belong, in particular to belong to a group, with a need for prestige and status. Their fear is of not belonging. They feel they must know what is going on with others to survive.

Sexual

The sexual instinct is focused on having a partner or mate. They are driven by an ongoing search for intimate bonds and one to one relationships. This drive is akin to the mating instinct. It is representative of the masculine and feminine energies and the issues of strength and beauty, which are the very qualities that determine the strongest and most desirable mates. Their fear is of being undesirable. They feel they must be attractive and bonded to survive.



Instinctual Stacking

As with the Enneagram Tritype®, these three instincts are used in a preferred order. The order in which one uses these three instincts is called one’s ‘Instinctual Stacking.’ Some individuals have one instinct that is clearly dominant. Others have a second instinct that is close to the dominant instinct.

When two instincts are close in dominance, the third is often eclipsed and underdeveloped. Different stages in life and extreme stress can bring these drives into focus at different times but the method used to find a solution to a problem will always be governed by one’s dominant instinctual drive.

For example, we all tend to focus on our health and body when we are ill (sp), our social standing and others when we feel excluded (so), and our appearance and attractiveness when we feel undesirable or disconnected (sx). So, it is critical to identify the area of preoccupation when one is not in a natural life stage or in a crisis.

A good question to ask is “In what arena does one behave badly?” Notice whether one tends to focus more on health and finances (sp), people and being of service (so), or intimacy and depth of connection (sx). If difficult behavior is seen in groups, one may have the social instinct dominant. If one is anti-social, there is a greater possibility that the social instinct is dominant. If difficult behavior is seen with issues of physical comfort, one may have the self-preservation as dominant. If the difficult behavior is seen with intimates, such as one’s mate, partner or best friend, then the sexual instinct may be dominant.

Tritype®, Wings and Lines of Connection

Although one of the three types within a Tritype® is dominant, or one’s primary type, the other two types play a large role in one’s life. What is noteworthy, is that these two other types may or may not be the types along the lines of connection to one’s primary type or one of the types adjacent to one’s primary type.

For example, a Type 9 may or may not have Type 3 and/or Type 6 as part of their Tritype®. A Type 9 could have a Tritype® of 925, 926, 927, 935, 936, 937, 945, 946 or 947. Each Tritype® combination of Type 9 creates a different expression. If the 9 does have the 3 and 6 in their Tritype® as with the 936, the influence of these types is greater and creates a very focused 9 that matches the descriptions. However, if the Type 9 has types in their Tritype® that are not connected by a line such as the 945 or 947, they will appear to be very different from 9s that have the 936 Tritype®. These differences will create diversity in the 9 defense strategy but will also make it difficult for the 9 to confirm their type.

In addition, a Tritype® may or may not have a wing type in their Tritype®. For example, a Type 7 may or may not have an 8 in their Tritype®. If the 7 has a wing type of 8, and has an 8 in the Tritype®, the 7 will be heavily influenced by the 8 defense strategies and can often be mistyped as an 8. Further, the 7 with the 8 wing that has the 782 Tritype® will have access to 8 through a wing type and by having 8 in the Tritype®. The 782 Tritype® also has access to the 8 through the line of connection to 8 coming from the 2 in the Tritype®. So, the 782 will be a 7 with a very strong flavor of 8.

Ways to work with the Tritype®

There are several ways to work with the Tritype® material. One way is to study the differences within type by looking at the nine Tritypes® of each Enneagram Type. A second way is to study the similarities of those sharing the same three Enneagram Types by looking at the shared view of those with the same three Enneagram Tritype® Archetype. A third way is to study the influence of the 27 Tritypes® in conjunction with the 27 Instinctual Subtypes.



Tritype® by Type

Tritype® by Type explains the variations within Enneagram Type. Those sharing the same dominant Enneagram Type can be very different from one another depending on which types are in the Tritype®. Examining the nine Enneagram Types by Tritype® reveals the reasons for the differences. For example, the Type 1 has nine different possible combinations, the 125, 126, 127, 135, 136, 137, 145, 146 and 147. With this approach, one can quickly see that there are 9 Enneagram Types and 9 Tritype® combinations for each type, creating 81 Tritypes®.

With this method one can readily see that the 145 is more introverted and introspective than the 137 which is more positive and outgoing. Both have Type 1 as the dominant type, however, the 145 has two withdrawn types whereas the 137 has two assertive types.

A second example, is the difference between the 874 and the 826. The 874 has secondary strategies that are very different from those of the 826. Both are protective. However, the 874 is a fast-paced (7), creative (4, 7 & 8) feelingful (4) and optimistic (7) Type 8 whereas the 826 is a more cynical (8 and 6), loyal (8 and 6) and helpful (2, 6 & 8) Type 8.

Breaking this down further, a Type 4 might have a Tritype® of 468. This would mean that Type 4 is the primary Enneagram Type, and as needed, would also use the strategies of Type 6 and Type 8. Enneagram Type 4 is always in charge. However, when the strategies of Type 4 fail to produce results that will satisfy the ego, it will use all permutations of Type 4 (wings and lines of connections) to solve the problem. Once all facets of Type 4 have been exhausted, this individual will then shift to using the dominant type in each of the other two centers to manage the problem and create a solution. In this case, the Type 4 in the 468 Tritype® would use the strategies of Type 6 and then Type 8.

Another example is the 147. This is an individual with a Tritype® configuration that includes types 1,7 and 4. The primary Enneagram Type is Type 1. This Tritype® combination indicates someone that would most likely be hardworking (1), positive (7) and deep (4) that seeks standards (1), options (7) and meaning (4). If the strategy of Type 1 for diligence fails to give the desired results of being thorough and responsible, this person would then employ the strategy of Type 7, and then, as needed, Type 4. This cycle continues until the personality feels that the problem is solved. These three types cascade into one another and continue everyday throughout the day.

Tritype® by Archetype

Tritype® by Archetype sheds light on the similarities of those sharing the same types in a Tritype®. This approach focuses on the Tritypes® without regard to the order the types are used. This yields 27 distinct Tritype® Archetypes.

This approach focuses on the influence of the archetype that is created when the three Enneagram types are combined. For example, 127, 217, 712, 271, 217 and 721 are each constructed of the same types, archetypal energies and defense patterns. This produces a common archetypal expression and experience for anyone having that combination of types in their Tritype® regardless of what order they are used.

Tritype® Archetype also explains why individuals sharing the same three fixations in their Tritype® may have more in common with each other than those sharing the same Enneagram Type. Those with the same Tritype® Archetype have a natural affinity for one another as they use the same three strategies to handle problems but in a different order.

For example, the ‘Supporter’ is the Tritype® Archetype of the 126, 261, 612, 162, 216 and 621. All six of these Tritypes® feel that they need to be responsible according to the values of the respective center (head, heart or gut) that the primary Enneagram Type resides. When these six Tritypes® are combined, you have an archetype that needs to feel safe by doing what is right (1), needed (2) and free from blame (6). Therefore, this individual would be hyper-focused on assisting and supporting others. In addition, this Tritype® is also focused on doing what one should (1), what is helpful (2) and what is seen as responsible (6).



Tritype® with Instinctual Type

The Tritype® Stacking and Instinctual Stacking are interacting parts of a complex defense system designed to insure survival. One’s Instinctual Stacking identifies one’s more ‘primitive’ nature and is the most fundamental part of the personality structure. One’s Tritype® combination is the more specific way in which one will handle incoming threats to one’s security.

When the needs of the dominant Instinctual Subtype are unmet the personality goes on red alert. The instincts are automatic and cannot relax if there is any perceived threat, whether real or imagined. The personality reacts to all threats even if they are minor. The personality compulsively seeks a solution to meet the demands of the dominant instinct in the Instinctual Stacking and the dominant type in the Tritype® Stacking. Combining the core fears of the Instinctual Types with the core fears of the types in the Tritype® reveals one’s habitual way of relating to the world.

For example, a sexual 874 is someone who focuses on having a mate (sx) and power (8 + sx) to survive. Therefore, if there is a threat to the primary relationship (sx), the 8 within the Tritype® will come into play in an attempt to secure the mate and restore calm. The Tritype® of 874 with the sexual instinct dominant is someone that is focused on maintaining the strength of the intimate bond (sx) by having power and influence (sx + 8). In addition to focusing on a mate (sx), this person would also focus on being strong and direct (8), positive and innovative (7) and seeking unique and meaningful solutions (4).

The unmet need of the sexual instinct is what triggers the defense strategies of the 874. The sexual instinct deploys the Type 8 which in turn deploys the 7 and 4 in the Tritype®. So, if the Type 8 fails to overcome an obstacle, the ego would then employ the strategies of Type 7 to lighten up and examine other potential options. If the problem remains unresolved, the Type 8 would then use the strategies of Type 4 to delve more deeply into the problem to find an answer.

Also, combining the Tritype® Stacking with the Instinctual Stacking can help to explain why people with the same Enneagram Type and Instinct can still behave differently from one another.

For example, if we compare and contrast the sexual 874 with the sexual 826, we will notice that the sexual 874 has different secondary and tertiary motivations than a sexual 826. All sexual 8s want to have a mate, as well as power to avoid being harmed, controlled and/or manipulated. However, the 874 is the ‘Messenger’ 8 that must be protective, autonomous (8), innovative (7) and deep (4) to feel satisfaction, whereas the 826 is the ‘Rescuer’ 8, that must be protective (8), helpful (2), loyal and dutiful (6) to feel satisfaction.

Levels of functioning within Tritype®

Just as with the primary Enneagram Type, one will experience the other types in their Tritype® in both positive and negative ways. They act in concert with one another. Any Tritype® Archetype can be delightful or difficult depending on the psychological health of the individual.

To understand how this works in practice, one needs to examine the psychological health and spiritual awareness of an individual. If one is functioning at an average or higher level, one will display the positive traits of the types in the Tritype®. If one is functioning at a lower level, one will display the negative traits of the types in the Tritype®. The level of health and spiritual awareness will be the same for all three types in the Tritype®.

Using the earlier example of the 874, an 8 that is functioning at a higher level may find that taking charge isn’t working and will try to lighten up like a 7, and if that doesn’t work, search for a deeper understanding like a 4. The 8 remains in charge, so the 8 fear of being disempowered is driving the process. If the 874 is functioning at a lower level, the 8 may feel dangerously disempowered and would likely feel scattered like a 7 and painfully lacking like a 4.

So, this person has used the strategies of three Enneagram Types, one from each of the three Enneagram Centers



(gut-head-heart), in a preferred order of 874. So, this is someone that acts (gut), thinks (head) and then feels (heart).

Another example would be to compare the 468 and the 459. They both feel (heart), then think (head) and then act (gut). However, the 468 is a more reactive (6) and aggressive (8) Type 4 whereas the 495 is a more passive (9) and avoidant (5) Type 4.

A third example is the difference between the 972 and the 935. The 972 has a very rosy and positive outlook and desires comfortable relationships that are easy to manage. The 2 and 7 make the 972 a people-person and increases the need for harmony. In contrast, the 935 is intellectual and somewhat avoidant. The 5 and 3 make the 953 more reserved and increases the need for competency. This is why, the 953 may mistype as the 5, especially if the self-preserving instinct is dominant.

Determining Tritype® using the Enneacards Test

The Enneacards Enneagram Test identifies key aspects of one’s self-image. First, test takers are asked to choose adjectives in the Enneastyle Questionnaire. Then the test takers are given the Enneacards Enneagram Test. This test compares and contrasts the 9 Enneagram Types in different groups of three. These groups always include a type from each center of intelligence. This determines the Enneaspread. In the second half of the Enneacards Enneagram Test, test takers are asked to rank the Enneacards to determine the dominant Enneagram Type in each of the three Enneagram centers. This reveals the preferred Enneagram Type in each center and in the order of preference, resulting in one’s potential Tritype®. The instinct is determined by questions in the Enneastyle Test and by the multiple choice questions at the end of the test.

Tritype®, once determined is like an Enneagram thumbprint. It may take time to have certainty regarding which types are dominant. When it is difficult to determine the primary Enneagram Type it can be helpful to first determine the Tritype® Archetype. Understanding the Tritype® also helps clear up common look-a-likes. Take the time to learn about all three Enneagram Types in one’s potential Tritype® and how they impact one another. It is also helpful to observe one’s responses in difficult situations and take note of what fears and concerns are present.

Lexicon use is very instructive as well. The words used to describe one’s self can give important clues as to one’s Enneagram Type and Tritype®. Examine the adjectives used on the Enneastyle Questionnaire. In addition, pay attention to the words used to describe life events in casual conversations. Over time, one will begin to notice the consistent use of particular words or phrases and patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. These patterns will reveal the dominant Enneagram Type and/or the Tritype® Archetype.

Research has shown that there is a very high probability that one’s Enneagram Type is among the three Enneagram Types in the Tritype®. The exception is the Type 6 and to a lesser degree, Type 9. The 6 often does not select 6 cards at all. So, if there is a 6 card in the Enneaspread, there is a 95% possibility that Type 6 is the dominant Enneagram Type or at the very least one of the types in the Tritype®. With observation, one can determine which of the three Types is in charge of the other two.

Origins of Tritype®

Katherine’s work with Tritype® began in 1995. At that time, she conducted her first body of research, Enneastyle: The Nine Languages of Enneagram Type, which examined the ‘internal experience’ and self-image of the 9 Enneagram Types.

Inspired by unexpected findings, she quickly followed with a study of the instinctual drives and developed the book Enneagram Instinctual Subtypes: Self-Preserving, Social and Sexual. These findings lead her to conduct many additional research studies, including the statistically validated research, The Enneagram Instinctual Subtypes and Intimacy with Victoria Ruderman and Kit Snyder in 1998, the Enneagram and Spirituality in 2007 and the Tritype®



research in 2008, 2009 and this book, The 27 Tritypes® Revealed in 2010 with David W. Fauvre, MA.

In 1995, Katherine was fascinated by the Enneagram Type patterns that emerged with clients during her ‘In-depth Inquiry Process’ coaching sessions. Her clients consistently organized their life strategies around not one, but three Enneagram Types. Clients had a dominant Enneagram Type, but also had the core fears of two other types. There was always a type from each center of intelligence: head (567), heart (234) and gut (981). More importantly, many used the language of types that were not connected by a line or a wing.

Circa 1996, Katherine attended a presentation given by a teacher from the Arica School. From the instructor, she learned that Enneagram pioneer, Oscar Ichazo, had added the term ‘tri-fix,’ the use of three Enneagram fixations to his teachings. This concept intrigued her, as it appeared to validate her early findings and complimented her ongoing research.

Later that year, Katherine met David Fauvre and began collaborating with him on Enneagram projects. Together, they founded Enneagram Explorations. Soon thereafter, David created Enneagram.net and took their work online. Through this new medium Katherine and David were able to collect thousands of Enneastyle Questionnaires which further validated Katherine’s research findings.

In 2000, David conceptualized and prototyped an online testing instrument. In 2002, they designed the Enneagram Enneacards Test. In 2003, David launched the online version of the Enneacards Test. This test was based on the language the nine types used to describe themselves in the Enneastyle Questionnaires and the images sent as a part of the initial 1995 study. Their goal was to help individuals more easily identify their dominant Enneagram Type, Instinctual Subtype and Tritype®.

In 2004, David commissioned an MIT Ph.D. specializing in language algorithms to code software to detect the complex patterns of language use found in the Enneastyle Questionnaires. They refer to this instrument as ‘The Language Classifier.’ Since that time, they have further developed and tested ‘The Language Classifier,’ which can now be used to determine Type, Instinct and Tritype® from the text found in dating profiles, emails, and web 2.0 profiles and posts.

The classifier has been used to statistically validate that the language choices in the Enneastyle Questionnaire demonstrate that each Enneagram type speaks in their own lexicon, regardless of age, gender, education, nationality or race, and that they use the lexicon of the three dominant types in their Tritype® and dominant Instinctual Type. These results are even more accurate when the test taker fills out the Enneastyle Questionnaire, which is designed to elicit an internal description of one’s self-image in one’s own words.

With this software, Enneagram Type research has moved beyond the traditional heuristic or experience-based style of research, which has often left gaps in understanding, analogous to mapping a forest by walking among the trees, versus a statistically verifiable, robust research methodology, like mapping a forest from an airplane or satellite.

To date, over 16,000 people have taken the Enneastyle Questionnaire, Instinctual Subtype Test and the Enneacards Tests at www.Enneagram.net. This research has yielded an extensive and original body of work. Therefore, in an effort to avoid confusion, Katherine and David coined the term ‘Tritype®’ to distinguish their research findings from Ichazo’s teachings.

Enneagram Typesand

Tritypes by Type®




One

Moral Perfectionist

OverviewYou want to be accurate, thorough, fair and objective. More importantly, you want to be respectable, to do what is right and what you feel is appropriate. You see yourself as rational, orderly and principled. You would like others to see you as reliable, responsible and ethical. Your idealized image is that you are hardworking and do what is right.

Gifted with a strong sense of purpose, you have high ideals and like to follow protocol, policies and procedures. You are sincere, earnest and diligent. You like to excel and take pride in doing things well. You value honesty, integrity and objectivity. Conscientious and methodical you focus on paying close attention to detail. Earnest and hardworking, you are particular and constantly strive to improve. You take action from your heart because, for you, the heart is the only thing that is truly perfect.

You have a strong ‘internal critic’ that reminds you of what you should and shouldn’t do. At times, you can be judgmental and critical of others, telling them what you think is right. You behave this way because you want to help people avoid mistakes. You believe that there is only one way to do things and that is the right way. As a perfectionist, you feel that if something is worth doing, it is worth doing right. As a result, you are only satisfied with what appeals to your strong sense of what is moral. Idealistic, you naturally wish to educate others to help them improve themselves.

Life for you is about adhering to your strong internal set of standards. Sometimes, you wish that you could let go and have more fun. This can be hard for you to do unless you are on vacation because of your strong work ethic. You innately recognize that in most situations there are standard operational procedures. Privately, you may criticize yourself for your shortcomings far more than you ever criticize anyone else. Because you can be so hard on yourself, you long for positive feedback, serenity and happiness.

NeedYou need to know what is expected of you so that you can act accordingly and excel. You want to know what is considered appropriate and to do things by the book to avoid making a mistake. You continuously strive for self-improvement and expect others to do the same. You always act in accordance with your high standards, moral beliefs, philosophies and principles, instead of basing your behavior on another person’s rules.

AvoidYou avoid impropriety, irresponsibility, high risks and/or extremes. Most importantly, you avoid expressing your anger, feeling that to do so is wrong or inappropriate. Underneath your attitude of moral superiority and need for correctness, you have a deep fear of being wrong, bad, evil or corruptible. You prefer what is practical, grounded and stable and avoid appearing silly or frivolous to others.


26

Virtue

Your integrity, wisdom and adherence to sound procedure can bring clarity and guidance to a confused world. You are a true pioneer with the ability to envision utopia and the discipline to put in the hard work necessary to make it happen. Like a White Knight, you are not afraid to act according to your strong convictions– even if your actions go against the beliefs of your parents, boss or society. You have a special gift for teaching and you enjoy helping people learn and improve.

ViceYour vice is resentment because you work so hard to repress your negative emotions. You feel that showing overt anger demonstrates a loss of control, so you suppress your wrath when others are not working as hard as you and don’t feel the same level of responsibility that you do. At times, you can be self-righteous, overly strict and rigid. You can become irritable, nit picking and critical when others don’t abide by your lofty moral code and need for procedures. Remember, that people think of you as a teacher, and the best teachers lead by example, not criticism.

AttentionYour attention goes outward, to the environment, creating improvements, correcting imperfections and righting what is wrong. In your search for what is perfect, you can become mired in details and lose sight of your original goal and intention. Often it is more important to compete a task than wait for perfection.

Spiritual PathYour spiritual journey is to reclaim a sense of serenity. Even flaws may have a purpose. Recognize that true perfection and spiritual growth will come to you when you realize that all things are inherently perfect just as they are.

Mantra True perfection already exists in every moment, and there is nothing that needs to be reformed or improved in the eyes of God.

WingIf you are the Enneagram Type 1 with the 9 Wing, you desire to appear patrician. You see yourself as classic, casually elegant, simple, relaxed and natural.

If you are the Enneagram Type 1 with the 2 Wing, you desire to appear cultivated. You see yourself as put together, fashionable, moody, apropos and unique.

Relationship orientated, you reach out to others and are often the first one to lend a hand. A good listener, you focus on the needs and concerns of others. You usually know what people need and feel, and enjoy taking on the kind of role where you can show your giving and generous nature. You have developed the gift of flattery to the level of an art form because you see how this skill can be a currency for creating intimate rapport.

Secretly, you can feel needy and vulnerable feeling that you must earn the right to be loved. Avoiding a deep sense of loneliness, you find ways to connect to and be of service to others. You have an innate sense of what to say or do to make people feel seen and admired.

VirtueDemonstrative and friendly, you are exceptionally gifted at creating and maintaining relationships. Emotionally astute, you have a way of creating rapport with even the most difficult people. Softhearted and sympathetic, you are sensitive to others and always seem to notice when someone feels sad or is in distress. You intuitively know what is needed in any given situation and always seem to know just the right thing to say and do. Your ability to sense and satisfy other’s emotional needs is second to none.

Spiritual PathYour spiritual journey is about reclaiming your sense of humility. The pride you feel in giving to others may keep you from learning how to receive or from realizing that you may be giving to get. Giving with expectation is a veiled form of taking. True altruism is selfless. Spiritual growth will come to you when you can acknowledge your own needs and learn to give freely without expecting anything in return.

Mantra Being helpful to others is how you feel good about yourself. Sometimes, you may be so focused on meeting the needs of others that you do not pay attention to your own. If you feel compelled to offer someone a glass of water, consider that you may actually be the one who is thirsty.

Type 3

Successful Achiever

OverviewYou want to be competent, productive, accomplished and dynamic. More importantly, you want to be good at what you do and to look good doing it. You see yourself as ambitious, competitive and industrious. You would like others to see you as a winner with all the trappings of success. Your idealized image is that you are triumphant and victorious.

You are goal oriented - someone who lives by the motto “Why do when you can overdo!” To say that you are self-confident, ambitious and motivated may be an understatement. You want to be seen as the very example of the person who has it all together and is on the way to the top. You take great pleasure in crossing tasks off your ‘to do’ lists after quickly finishing them. You may even write down a task on your list that is already completed just so you can enjoy the sense of accomplishment you feel when you cross it off.

Concerned about having prestige and status, you quickly adapt to whatever role is expected of you. Seeking success through appearances, you are likely to place continuous pressure on yourself to maintain an enviable image. You do this by controlling your emotions, being efficient and maintaining a focused single-minded attitude. A natural born performer, you try to do your best and to be an ‘all star’ at what ever you attempt.

Continuously seeking attention and admiration, like a strutting peacock, you aren’t afraid to showcase or promote your talents and ambitions. As there is no second best for you, you keep trying until you reach your goal. You strive for and often develop finesse. Your high level of self-confidence, enthusiasm and energy tends to rub off on everyone around you. Your positive attitude is often motivating to others. Always on the go and energized by starting new projects, you can achieve a great deal but are also at risk of burning out. As soon as you reach one goal, you are on to the next.

Need You need to be the best at whatever you do. You love the sound of applause and the accolades that are given for a job well done. You also need people to praise and acknowledge your achievements. Looking successful in someone else’s eyes is what motivates you to push yourself harder and accomplish more. Always one to seek attention through your personal achievements, it is difficult for you to relax, stop being the peacock and become part of the herd.

Avoid You avoid failure, nothingness, being second best or appearing like you cannot accomplish what is expected of you. You may repress or swallow your emotions, seeing them as speed bumps that slow you down on the way to reaching your goals. This can cause your emotions to come up and surprise you at unexpected times. Because you have a tendency to mistake what you do for who you are, you can become a human “doing” instead of a human being. You can become anxious and fearful that your carefully crafted image of the successful, on the go, efficient ‘doer’ might be unmasked.



VirtueA true taskmaster, your virtue is your veracity and sense of industry. Self-confident, energetic, positive and enthusiastic, you generally excel at and reach whatever goal you set. Your efficiency makes you an overachiever who can accomplish a great deal. Often you are the model of success, and you have a natural ability to motivate and charm others. You love the natural high that the feeling of success can give and enjoy teaching others how to thrive and achieve their own goals. You are able to help others see what they need to do to polish their image and put their best foot forward.

ViceYour vice is vanity. You have a tendency to be overly self-promoting. You can confuse your image with who you really are, engaging in a form self-deception. As you push harder and harder to complete tasks, you may even appear robot-like because you have begun treating yourself like a machine. Trying to stand out and be number one can be exhausting for you. It can also be hard to ask for help or pay attention to your deeper feelings. You may feel like you always have to greet the world with a smile so that people will smile at you. You also want others to admire you and tell you that you have done a good job.

AttentionYour attention goes to performance, prestige and seeking status for approval. Hyper focused on your audience, you adapt to the expectations of others. You want to be the very image of success where ever you are and whatever you do.

Spiritual PathYour spiritual journey is to reclaim your sense of honesty and restore your hope. Remember that everyone loves a performer– while they are performing– but this is not the kind of love that lasts. Your spiritual growth will come when you learn to be authentic and be true to the moment.

MantraYou are a human being, not a human doing, and you are loved for yourself and not for your accomplishments. Remember that when you feel efficient and robotic, you have lost touch with your heart.

WingIf you are the Enneagram Type 3 with the 2 Wing, you desire to appear as dazzling. You see yourself as flashy, supportive, caring, cheerful, fun and friendly.

If you are the Enneagram Type 3 with the 4 Wing, you desire for others to see you as professional. You see yourself as elegant, polished, fun and (at times) moody and quiet.

Type 4

Romantic Individualist

OverviewYou want to be gifted, intuitive, original and unique. More importantly, you want to be passionate, true to your feelings and uniquely authentic. You see yourself as sensitive, expressive and spiritual. You would like others to see you as idealistic, emotionally deep and compassionate. Your idealized image is that you are accomplished and special.

Motivated by the need to understand and to be understood, you desire experiences that are rich with feeling and meaning. You may find it easier to deal with painful emotions than to deal with the tedium of daily routine. You have the temperament of an artist and long to freely express yourself. You feel your emotions deeply and are not afraid to go emotionally where others fear to tread. This includes having an exquisite, intuitive ability to distinguish between subtle emotions that others often miss. Painfully self-conscious, you are often overly focused on how different you are from others. A true humanitarian, you have a natural passion for protest. At times intense and contrary, you are not afraid to think for yourself and voice your point of view.

Nostalgic by nature, you often focus on past experiences. This can lead you to deeper insights or to downward spirals of melancholy and/or painful unresolved feelings. Craving ideal circumstances or love, you often ruminate on what is missing and perceived to be important. Your tendency towards self-absorption is both an asset and liability. It can lead you to deep personal insights that can benefit everyone while feeding your self-deprecating sense of humor; but it can also make you appear to be self centered and disinterested in others. Feeling your own inner world so powerfully, it is good to remember that others’ experiences are just as real for them as yours are for you.

When you step out of the river of your emotions, you can bring forth your many talents into the world and express them in a way that is extraordinary and original. You are like the lotus flower growing in the mud that is able to transform emotionally painful experiences into fertilizer for personal growth. Attuned to feelings, you have an uncommon sensitivity when it comes to dealing with suffering. You are not afraid to hear about someone else’s troubles, and you can be a great friend to anyone in emotional pain.

Need You need be seen as artistic, gifted and accomplished. You focus on your individuality and on carving your own distinct image. You need to express your deep feelings and want others to validate your emotions. Whether you are organizing your living space to reflect your refined tastes or engaging in an artistic pursuit, it is essential for your sense of well being that you express your creativity.

AvoidYou avoid feeling lost, disorientated and without personal significance, meaning or direction. You also avoid appearing inadequate, defective or flawed. Most importantly, you have a hidden fear of being emotionally cut off and abandoned. You avoid affectation and anything dull, ordinary, ugly, vulgar, inauthentic or distasteful.



VirtueYour greatest strengths are your deep intuition, creativity and ability to transform painful life experiences into opportunities for profound growth and healing. This enables you to identify what is missing, and like a knight on a quest, you search until you find it or create it. Astute about human nature, you believe that everyone is an individual and that all emotions have value. Profound and insightful, you have an uncanny knack for transforming the dull and the ordinary into the exciting and extraordinary. You are able to see and appreciate what is truly unique, special and rare.

ViceYour vice is envy. You’re always worrying that others may have gotten a better deal than you or are being recognized while your talents are being overlooked. Hyper-sensitive, you can be moody, haughty and overly emotional, always seeing the grass as greener and the glass half empty. You can be self-absorbed and temperamental, and tend to over-personalize all life experiences and interactions with others. Capable of being emotionally manipulating or overly critical, you are often unaware of the impact your emotional nature has on others. Remember, that you are like a mystic who sees ‘the river beneath the river’ and are not just the swamp of your emotions.

Attention Your attention goes to searching for meaning, noticing what is missing, feelings of melancholy and nostalgia, and longing for the unavailable. You appreciate the special, the humane and the beautiful. You like to put your personal signature on everything that you do. Your refined tastes make you a great critic and someone who appreciates the truly exceptional.

Spiritual PathYour spiritual journey is to connect to original source and create true meaning. Spiritual growth will come to you when you are able to balance your emotional nature with temperance and equanimity. Keep your powerful emotions in check, and you can create the kind of life that you want.

MantraDon’t dwell on the past, and remember to enjoy the pleasure that can be found in each moment. When you have gratitude and the courage to move through your fear of rejection and share your talents, others will honor your original and creative contributions.

Type 5

Investigative Thinker

OverviewYou want to be intelligent, informed, knowledgeable and perceptive. More importantly, you want to be self-sufficient and not have the entanglements of obligation. You see yourself as intellectual, dispassionate and investigative. You would like others to see you as rational, logical and scholarly. Your idealized image is that you are thoughtful and wise.

Private and solitary by nature, you like to be invisible until you are ready to reveal yourself. You tend to stay on the sidelines preferring to meet the world with your mind. You prefer to play the role of detached observer or investigator. In general, you see the world as intrusive, overwhelming and chaotic–often demanding too much and giving too little in return. As a result, to manage the fear of not knowing, you conserve your energy and focus your attention on acquiring the information necessary to make sense out of the chaos.

Studious and scholarly, you develop expertise in any area that is of interest to you, often in more than one field. You believe that knowledge is power and feel it is imperative that you be intellectually astute as a means of survival. Often scientific, you have unparalleled powers of mental perception due in part to your ability to remain detached and unaffected by your emotions. You have an inquisitive and observant nature with an insatiable appetite for information. You think things through before offering your perceptive insights regarding systems, people or how the world works.

Avoiding the glaring light of scrutiny, you seek the safety of camouflage. When you feel that you lack intellect, you become withdrawn, isolated and reclusive. You see yourself as intense, unexpected, original and different from others. You are private and introspective, although others may think of you as anti-social, secretive, remote, and eccentric. You are not afraid to point out the ‘emperor who has no clothes’ and your wonderful sense of humor is based on postulating the absurd. Rather than the wave crashing on the shore, you have the strength of the undertow and know exactly when to give or withhold your involvement and information to have the greatest impact.

Need Fearing intrusion, you need to keep yourself hidden and camouflaged. However intellectual you may be, you often feel vulnerable and exposed like an animal without fur. You need time alone to recharge and for others to not place high demands on your time or energy. It is essential for your well being that your mind is clear, your life uncluttered, and that you have the autonomy to control your time.

AvoidYou avoid standing out and/or being misinterpreted. You also avoid pretentious or ostentatious displays. You may find small talk or a brainstorming session at work to be an insufferable waste of time. You fear annihilation, contamination, and being fully embodied – as you feel more comfortable being with your thoughts than in your body. Because you prefer to live a life that isn’t weighed down by attachments – either material or relational – you also avoid surplus of any kind. The one exception might be a library of resources.



VirtueYour greatest strengths are your clear objectivity, your instinct and your penetrating insight that is unfettered by emotions. You have an innate ability to gather information and create systems to assess and categorize data in a clear and concise manner. Mentally astute, you are able to observe, study and track even the smallest details, often developing expertise in many areas. Underneath your shyness and reserve, you are a kindhearted and giving person. You are also very loyal to and supportive of those you trust.

ViceYour vice is avarice. This can manifest as a greedy hording of yourself, your time, your energy or your things. Be careful of your tendency to observe the world through a peephole. It can keep you isolated and out of touch with human concerns. Be aware of your tendency to withdraw into your ivory tower of ideas. Others may start to see you as arrogant and unfeeling. Being dispassionate and ‘cool as a cucumber’ is good in an emergency but hard on relationships.

Attention Your attention goes to observing the world, hiding or withholding to protect yourself and gathering information for the purpose of knowing and understanding. Hesitant and reluctant to engage, you search for factual data, seeking reason, logic and objectivity.

Spiritual JourneyYour spiritual path is to reclaim a sense of non-attachment and experience true omniscience– true knowing from a higher source. Spiritual growth will come when you offer freely of yourself to others without fear of incurring obligation and realize that mere information can never be a substitute for true direct knowing.

MantraYour map of the world is a mental construct, not the actual territory. For deeper knowing, remember to include your feelings as they yield important information in any equation. As a rule, you believe that there is always more that can be learned, known and understood. It is helpful to recognize when you know enough to make a decision.

Your idealized image is that you are supportive, responsible and do your duty.

You are innately curious with a wonderful sense of humor. A bundle of contradictions, you can be wary and cautious one minute and/or rebellious and courageous the next. You possess an endearing childlike reactivity and often take the position of the devil’s advocate to promote a sense of pair play. Depending on the situation, you can be friendly and outgoing or reserved and skeptical. A ‘good soldier’, you prefer the role of buddy, loyal family member or trusted employee. You can be a reluctant authority because you fear that taking on a leadership position might make you a target for opposition. So, you chose your positions carefully. To manage anxiety, you seek comic relief.

You are attracted to people who are strong, protective and/or have prestige. You seek trusted, reliable authorities and allies. Often identifying with the underdog and distrustful of people’s hidden agendas, you are slow to trust new acquaintances. Keenly aware that you could be duped or taken advantage of, you pay attention to insincerity and inconsistencies. To determine if someone is trustworthy, you watch for and question any discrepancy you observe. Once someone passes the testing process you become deeply committed and a most loyal friend. Devoted to your friends and family, you show allegiance over individuality.

Seeking certainty, you tend to be cynical. Because you are afraid of being unprepared or caught off guard, you often rehearse in your mind what you might say or do. Imaginative and visual, you can often see what might go wrong. You may even enjoy scaring yourself by thinking of worst-case scenarios so that you will never feel paralyzed by the fear of not knowing what to say or do. Although you are afraid to be afraid, you can learn mind over matter and you are capable of being profoundly dutiful and heroic. Once you let go of doubts, your fear turns into excitement and you can surprise yourself with unexpected acts of valor.

NeedYou need predictability, a protective authority, and the security of feeling that you belong. You long for trustworthy guidance to manage the feelings of fear and doubt. You can be a “proof junkie” who needs to test people, ideas and beliefs over and over again to see if they are worthy of your loyalty. You tend to need reassurance and encouraging, positive feedback from friends and loved ones.

AvoidYou avoid deviance, uncertainty and anything that is different from any group or idea to which you ascribe. You are highly motivated to avoid disappointing friends or authority figures. Fear and doubt can undermine your sense of safety. You are afraid of fear, submission and cowardice, so you vacillate between loyalty and rebelliousness by puffing up and backing down. You fear anything unproven or radical. You are also afraid of deviating from the norm or being different from your peers. Your greatest fear, however, is to be alone and unprotected.



VirtueYour greatest strengths are your abilities to test for the truth and to recognize and challenge a bad authority. Loyal and dedicated, you understand the value of making sacrifices for the group and are willing to enforce society’s rules to ensure safety and security for all. You believe that if everyone followed the rules and cooperated with one another, the world would be a safer place. A hero at heart, you are capable of great acts of loyalty and courage.

ViceYour vice is fear. This manifests as excessive doubt and playing the devil’s advocate. Your drive for security can cause you to envision a dangerous and divisive world in which you feel persecuted and then may persecute those who deviate from the rules or the norm. When you are afraid, you doubt your own authority and can become provocative and undermining. Seeking security, you try to control others by ensnaring them in your fears and doubts. A lack of faith in your own authority can cause you to overly submit to or challenge others, the rules or authority figures.

Attention Your attention goes to feelings of fear and doubt and scanning for danger, hidden motives or agendas. You have a tendency to focus on the worst-case scenario. Your fears and doubts can keep you from taking action and/or trusting yourself and others. You may at times be overly phobic and at other times overly counter-phobic.

Spiritual PathYour spiritual path is to reclaim your sense of faith and courage and see unity instead of differences. In your search for security, remember that the only real security lies in having faith and in trusting yourself.

MantraAs you learn to relax and trust yourself, fear will often turn to excitement and courage. Remember, people are far more alike than they are different. Embrace what is new and unfamiliar as an opportunity to remember what you already know and trust. Instead of idealizing those who rescue or protect others, overcome your tendency to hesitate or doubt and take action.

Type 7

Entertaining Optimist

OverviewYou want to be fascinating, fascinated, optimistic and enthusiastic. More importantly, you want to be stimulated, creative, positive and excited. You see yourself as visionary, diverse and playful. You would like others to see you as interesting, sophisticated and fun loving. Your idealized image is that you are happy and joyful.

Outgoing and spontaneous, you love anything that is new, novel or unusual. A charmed charmer, you are fascinated by people, places and ideas. Upbeat, positive and optimistic, you naturally cheer up and inspire others. Quick to laugh and make a joke, you easily entertain people. You are also easily entertained. An idealist and visionary, you strive to create a paradise on earth by sharing your vision of love, equality and freedom. A ‘jack of all trades’, you often have diverse skills and interests. You are innovative, multi-talented, creative and at home in the world of things and experiences.

Like the hummingbird that moves in a frenzied blur from flower to flower, you seek the sweet nectar of excitement, new experiences, people and travel. If life gets you down, you escape your anxiety and boredom through variety and activity. Uneasiness is kept at bay by keeping busy with interesting and diverse experiences. Seeking a positive future with unlimited possibilities, you believe that the sky is the limit. You enjoy new ideas and live in the world of your imagination where you can manifest your dreams. You have a talent for squeezing the boredom and monotony out of routine tasks, turning the mundane into the magical.

A creative spirit, you need to be free to follow your heart. Eternally young, you have the light-heartedness of a precocious child or court jester. For you, love is about giving and getting your way – if you are loved, you will be indulged. Even if you are shy, you wish to be seen as a cool, hip, trendsetter. At times, you may act superior to others – even though you may secretly fear that you are inferior to them. An equalitarian, you enjoy people from all walks of life. Rather than buck authority, you find the way around it. Using your quick wit, bright eyes and ready smile, you have a knack for avoiding and diffusing conflict.

NeedYou need self-confidence, options, patience and to be noticed by others. Also, you need to be positive and optimistic. Because you are always on the lookout for the BBD (bigger, better, deal), you need plans that are flexible and fluid. If you have open-ended plans, you can go with the flow. Flexibility gives you the option to change your mind at the last minute.

AvoidYou avoid boredom, sadness and emotional pain. You fear limitation, feeling trapped or appearing inferior. Feeling incomplete or confined, or missing out are among your deepest fears. You avoid painful emotions because you are afraid that you will become overwhelmed if you talk about or feel them. You also avoid negative people as they can bring you down. This can lead you to avoid the present by living in a future fantasy of plans.



VirtueYour greatest strengths are your visionary abilities, to think or do things in new ways and to manifest joyful abundance. You are loving, creative and generous. Like a colorful hot air balloon that takes people above life’s troubles, you are an angel of mercy who deals out random acts of kindness to those in need. You can’t bear to see people sad or suffering, and you take it as your personal responsibility to ensure that others experience happiness, joy and fun in their lives. Because you are innovative, you can easily turn lemons into lemonade and a lemonade stand into a successful business.

ViceYour vices are gluttony, overdoing and seeking stimulation until you collapse or become ill. In order for you to experience joy and fulfillment, it is critical that you follow through on your ideas by realizing them. If your dreams remain unmet, you can become jaded, selfish and/or greedy. As you become increasingly self-indulgent and lose your sense of commitment and follow through, you can become flaky, letting commitments slide and people down. You can also be dogmatic and overly critical of others. If you have clamped down on your excessive ways, you may judge those who are mirrors of your indulgent past.

AttentionYour attention goes to a positive future, planning, your imagination and multiple options. You can become paralyzed by options because you are afraid of missing out. You may feel like a child running down the aisles of a toy store who is fearful of choosing one toy and missing out on the rest.

Spiritual PathYour spiritual journey is to search for right work and focused concentration. Spiritual growth will come to you when you approach life with disciplined sobriety instead of getting high on new ideas, options and plans. Like a stone skipping across a lake that sinks deeply when it comes to rest, you will do well to slow down, experience your inner depths, and focus on completion.

MantraFreedom will exist when you accept the limitations of the present moment. Remember that envisioning something is not the same as manifesting it. True freedom comes with commitment and hard work – not from having unlimited options.

Type 8

Protective Challenger

OverviewYou want to be open, honest, direct and straightforward. More importantly, you want to be independent, make your own decisions and direct your own course. You see yourself as assertive, decisive and resourceful. You would like others to see you as strong, fair-minded and magnanimous. Your idealized image is that you are protective and powerful.

You are charismatic and exude confidence. You have a take-charge, no nonsense, can do attitude. You have great pride in your ability to face, endure and overcome adversity, believing that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Your assertive stance and imposing presence make you a ‘force of nature’. You like challenges and usually overcome the kinds of obstacles that limit or deter others. You have a lust for life and want to experience everything to the fullest. You believe that ‘too much of a good thing is almost enough’.

Your word is your bond and you do not suffer fools gladly. People are occasionally intimidated by you and have a tendency to misinterpret your direct manner as insensitivity. Self-possessed, you easily speak your mind and can come across as too aggressive. You believe that being true to yourself means that you say what you mean and mean what you say. You stand up for your beliefs and perceive backing down as a sign of weakness – even though at times doing so may be common sense and in your own best interest.

Behind your tough exterior you are gentle, playful, childlike and innocent. Always one to laugh, you can see the humor even in the most painful and difficult of circumstances. You are also unusually devoted to and protective of those in your ‘inner circle,’ often secretly going without so that others will have what they need. Living by your own personal code of honor, you have a strong sense of justice which compels you to act whenever you see any kind of injustice taking place. This often inspires great loyalty from those who see you as a protective authority.

NeedYou need to be your own authority, and seek independence to be master and commander of your own life. You have the need to feel confident, self-reliant and in charge of your emotions. You don’t need to be liked, but you do have a strong need to be respected. You also need a sense of fairness and justice in your dealings with others, or you are likely to assert your willful and stubborn nature.

AvoidYou avoid being weak, vulnerable, controlled or manipulated. Secretly, you fear being caught off guard, harmed and/or humiliated. Being mistreated and at the mercy of injustice are among your deepest fears. You resist and defy anything that is imposed upon you. Fearing deprivation, you avoid ever having to go without what you deem essential to your survival. You do everything in your power to avoid being dependent on anyone or anything. You have a distaste for mediocrity and anything that feels contrived.



VirtueYour greatest strength is your sense of justice and desire to protect the weak, vulnerable, down-trodden and under-represented. Big hearted and generous by nature, you willingly protect others even at your own expense. A person of your word, you stand up for what you believe in and deliver what have you promised. You have the ability to quickly assess a situation, cut to the chase and ‘call a spade a spade’, simplifying what initially appears to be complex and confusing. This ability to instinctively see the truth in any given situation and act decisively makes you a natural born leader.

ViceYour vice is excess and going to extremes. Whatever you like, you want more of and whatever you do, you overdo at full speed. Quick to respond, you can over react and come on too strong. You can be too much, too intense, and unwilling to self-limit. This can lead to escalating conflict due to an over reliance on your own truth and self-defined justice. Under stress you can become myopic, believing your truth as ‘The Truth’. Seeing life as a battlefield or a contest of wills, you can become confrontational and have difficulty backing down or admitting defeat. You have a tendency to push things to the edge and sometimes may run over others in the process.

AttentionYour attention goes to issues of power— who has it and most importantly, if it is being used fairly. You instinctively sense a power vacuum and you often step in to fill it. You are not interested in subtle nuance but rather in the big picture, like a general surveying a battlefield. You can be relentless in your search for truth, justice, power and influence.

Spiritual PathYour spiritual journey is to reclaim your sense of innocence. Spiritual growth will come when you can acknowledge a higher truth and a higher power. As the king or queen of the jungle, you can either take advantage of others with your powerful and commanding presence or make the jungle a safe place for everyone.

Mantra True strength comes from surrendering the need to have power and control. Remember that sensitivity to others and acknowledging your own tender emotions is a sign of strength, not a sign of weakness. Cynicism and insensitive teasing are red flags that you are feeling hurt and disempowered.

Type 9

Peaceful Mediator

OverviewYou want to be agreeable, peaceful, natural and comfortable. More importantly, you want to be calm and, if at all possible, to avoid conflict. You see yourself as accepting, unassuming and laid-back. You would like others to see you as humble, easygoing and approachable. Your idealized image is that you are content and harmonious.

Desiring union, harmony and unconditional love, you get along with most people that you meet. Considerate and gentle, you have an innate ability to make people feel comfortable and at ease. You are very accepting and readily empathize with others. Focused on the well being of others, you may at times lose sight of your own agenda. More intellectual than you let on, you have a natural gift for seeing many different points of view. You are able to see all the shades of gray in any given situation and have a way of diffusing conflict and being calm and steady in a crisis. Focusing on similarities rather than differences, you make an excellent mediator and peacemaker.

You don’t want to be drawn into conflict and avoid being pressured to react. Self-forgetting by nature, you repress your anger and neglect your needs in order to avoid the discomfort that comes with conflict. Because you may lose yourself in life’s simple pleasures, the needs of others, or the basic task of living, you may never go after what you truly want. You may struggle to find your one true passion. At times, you may be complacent and minimize anything that is upsetting.

Often the strong, silent type, you have the power of patience, persistence and resistance. You see yourself as having stamina and take pride in your ability to endure. You tend to procrastinate and take longer than others to make up your mind. When you do make a decision, you are like an unstoppable elephant pursuing its goals. Not one to self-promote, you would rather be discovered than announce yourself. Others may underestimate you due to your casual and nonchalant attitude. This is nearly always a mistake–one that you are happy to let others make because you prefer not to flaunt your talents or appear egotistical.

NeedYou need simplicity, peace, harmony and to be appreciated. Because you are highly empathetic, you need to know that the people around you are relaxed in order for you to be able to relax. To truly be at ease, you need to have your creature comforts and are unwilling go without them. Publicly, you may go along to get along, but when in private you make sure that you have what makes you feel happy and comfortable.

AvoidYou avoid conflict, complications and judgmental people. Being shut down, overlooked and not included by others are among your greatest fears. You are afraid of being loveless and of not receiving or being able to give love. Paradoxically, your avoidance of anger and conflict can lead to more conflict. You don’t want to deal with anything until you are good and ready. It is hard for you to say no, so yes means maybe and maybe means absolutely not!



VirtueYour virtues are your acceptance, peacefulness and ability to see universal truths. Open and receptive, you easily relate to others. When you are at your best, you can be both personally and universally connected. Whether you prefer simple pleasures or intellectual pursuits, you are always seeking what is harmonious. You often show your love by working hard, and you can make great contributions to others. Down to earth, steady, patient and easygoing, you bring a sense of calm to any given situation. Steadfast and persistent, you are able to endure even the most tedious and difficult circumstances.

ViceYour vices are indolence, inaction or sloth. This can lead to self-forgetting and neglecting your needs and/or the needs of others. Your inattention and forgetfulness can manifest as “crimes of omission”. You may also be stubborn or turn a blind eye to someone in need. Everyone thinks that you are on his or her side and can interpret your understanding as agreement. Overly avoiding conflict, you are most likely to hurt the people around you by not keeping promises due to your lack of follow through. This can make for a passive-aggressive stance in life where you don’t see the impact of your inaction and can appear callous or indifferent.

Attention Your attention goes to identifying with and merging with others. Your soft, pillowy energy tends to spread outwards and become diffuse. Because you sense and champion the needs and feelings of whatever group you are in, you are a natural group anchor. To avoid feeling tension and conflict, you may reach for substitutes for love by eating, focusing on the minutia or getting lost in unimportant tasks.

Spiritual PathYour spiritual journey is to reclaim your sense of right action and awaken from the coma of self-forgetting. Spiritual growth will come to you as you reclaim, define and assert your sense of self in the world.

MantraTrue love is action and not passive acceptance. To be truly loving requires that you define your values and take a stand for what you believe is important– regardless of the conflict it may cause. Indecisiveness and a fear of upsetting people can prevent you from taking appropriate action. Remember that no decision is a decision, and a “stitch in time saves nine”.

WingIf you are the Enneagram Type 9 with the 1 Wing, you desire to appear elusive. You see yourself as pragmatic, clear, collected, funny, calm and harmonious.

If you are the Enneagram Type 9 with the 8 Wing, you desire to be natural. You see yourself as dignified, comfortable, loving, aloof, strong and kind.
