enneagrampersonalitymotivationgrowth
The Enneagram identifies nine personality types, each defined by core motivations, fears, and growth paths. It's used for personal development, leadership coaching, and team dynamics.
The Nine Types
- Type 1 (Perfectionist) - Principled, purposeful, self-controlled
- Type 2 (Helper) - Generous, people-pleasing, possessive
- Type 3 (Achiever) - Adaptive, driven, image-conscious
- Type 4 (Individualist) - Expressive, dramatic, self-absorbed
- Type 5 (Investigator) - Perceptive, innovative, isolated
- Type 6 (Loyalist) - Engaging, responsible, anxious
- Type 7 (Enthusiast) - Spontaneous, versatile, scattered
- Type 8 (Challenger) - Self-confident, decisive, confrontational
- Type 9 (Peacemaker) - Receptive, reassuring, complacent
Wings and Stress Points
Each type has two wings (adjacent types) that influence personality. Under stress, types take on negative traits of their stress point. In growth, they adopt positive traits of their growth point. The report maps these dynamics.
Use Enneagram for coaching conversations, not screening. It excels at identifying growth areas and blind spots for existing employees.
