What is an Enneagram Type?
/ˈenēəˌɡram/
noun
noun: enneagram; plural noun: enneagrams
a nine-sided figure used in a particular system of analysis to represent the spectrum of possible personality types.
The Enneagram is a personality theory describing nine strategies by which the psyche develops a worldview and relates to self and others. Each of the nine "types" has a basic fear, basic desire, and predictable behavior pattern in times of stress and security—all of which shape motivations underlying behavior.
Here are the 9 types:
1. Perfectionist/Reformer
2. Helper/Giver
3. Achiever/Performer
4. Individualist/Romantic
5. Investigator/Observer
6. Loyal/Skeptic
7. Enthusiast/Epicure
8. Leader/Protector/Challenger
9. Peacemaker/Mediator
You will work your way through 8 tasks based on these prompts.
