The 9 Enneagram Personality Types
Each Enneagram type has a distinct way of seeing the world. Understanding all nine types helps you relate better to the people in your life.
The Reformer
The Principled Perfectionist
Type Ones strive for integrity and improvement. They have a strong sense of right and wrong and work hard to make things better. Their inner critic can be loud, but it drives them toward excellence.
The Helper
The Caring Giver
Type Twos are warm, caring people who want to be needed. They're naturally tuned into others' emotions and go out of their way to help. Their challenge is remembering to take care of themselves too.
The Achiever
The Success-Oriented Performer
Type Threes are driven, ambitious, and adaptable. They want to succeed and be admired for their accomplishments. They're natural motivators who can sometimes lose touch with their authentic feelings.
The Individualist
The Sensitive Creative
Type Fours are expressive, dramatic, and deeply feeling. They value authenticity and want to be unique. Their emotional depth fuels creativity but can sometimes lead to melancholy.
The Investigator
The Perceptive Thinker
Type Fives are curious, analytical, and independent. They seek to understand how things work and need time alone to recharge. They're insightful but can struggle with emotional expression.
The Loyalist
The Committed Security-Seeker
Type Sixes are responsible, trustworthy, and prepared for anything. They value security and loyalty in relationships. Their vigilance makes them excellent troubleshooters but can lead to anxiety.
The Enthusiast
The Optimistic Adventurer
Type Sevens are fun-loving, spontaneous, and always looking for new experiences. They're naturally optimistic and hate being limited. Their challenge is staying present instead of planning the next adventure.
The Challenger
The Powerful Protector
Type Eights are strong, decisive, and protective. They take charge and aren't afraid of conflict. Under their tough exterior is often a deep desire to protect the vulnerable.
The Peacemaker
The Easygoing Mediator
Type Nines are accepting, stable, and agreeable. They see all sides of an issue and work hard to keep the peace. Their challenge is staying connected to their own priorities and preferences.
The Three Enneagram Triads
The nine Enneagram types are grouped into three triads based on how they process emotions and interact with the world. Understanding your triad reveals your dominant center of intelligence.
Heart Triad
Types 2, 3, and 4
The Heart Triad processes life through emotions and feelings. These types are concerned with identity, image, and how they're perceived by others. Their core emotion is shame, which they manage in different ways.
Head Triad
Types 5, 6, and 7
The Head Triad processes life through thinking and analysis. These types seek security and guidance through planning and understanding. Their core emotion is fear, which they manage in different ways.
Body Triad
Types 8, 9, and 1
The Body Triad processes life through instinct and gut reactions. These types are concerned with autonomy, control, and maintaining boundaries. Their core emotion is anger, which they manage in different ways.
Understanding Enneagram Wings
Your Enneagram wing is one of the two types adjacent to your main type on the Enneagram circle. Wings add flavor and complexity to your personality, giving you access to additional traits and behaviors.
How Wings Work
For example, if you're a Type 4, your wings are Type 3 and Type 5. A "4w3" (Four with a Three wing) tends to be more ambitious and image-conscious, while a "4w5" (Four with a Five wing) tends to be more intellectual and withdrawn. Most people lean toward one wing more than the other, though you have access to both.
Understanding your wing helps explain why two people of the same type can seem quite different. It also gives you a roadmap for growth by highlighting traits you can develop.
The Enneagram and Your Relationships
One of the most powerful uses of the Enneagram is understanding how different types interact in relationships. Here's how knowing your type can transform your connections.
Understand Different Communication Styles
Each type communicates differently. A Type 8 might seem aggressive when they're just being direct. A Type 5 might seem distant when they're processing. Knowing this prevents misunderstandings.
Learn Each Other's Love Languages
Types show and receive love differently. Type 2s express love through helping. Type 5s express love by sharing knowledge. Recognizing your partner's style helps you feel more connected.
Navigate Conflict More Effectively
When you understand why your partner reacts the way they do during conflict, you can respond with empathy instead of defensiveness. This transforms arguments into opportunities for connection.
Support Each Other's Growth
Each type has a clear growth path. When you know your partner's type, you can encourage their development in ways that actually resonate with them, rather than projecting what would work for you.
