confrontations, but I dont let
people push me around, either. Most of the time, I know what I
want, and I go for it. I tend to work hard and to play hard.

GROUP II
X. I am a person who usually maintains a positive outlook and
feels that things will work out for the best. I can usually find
something to be enthusiastic about and different ways to occupy
myself. I like being around people and helping others be happy

feel great, but I generally try not to show it!) However, keeping a
positive frame of mind has sometimes meant that Ive put off
dealing with my own problems for too long.
Y. I am a person who has strong feelings about thingsmost
people can tell when Im upset about something. I can be guarded
with people, but Im more sensitive than I let on. I want to know
where I stand with others and who and what I can count onits
pretty clear to most people where they stand with me. When Im
upset about something, I want others to respond and to get as
worked up as I am. I know the rules, but I dont want people
telling me what to do. I want to decide for myself.

The Nine Personality Types of the Enneagram

1. The Reformer. The principled, idealistic type. Ones
are conscientious and ethical, with a strong sense of right
and wrong. They are teachers, crusaders, and advocates
for change: always striving to improve things, but afraid
of making a mistake. Well-organized, orderly, and
fastidious, they try to maintain high standards, but can
slip into being critical and perfectionistic. They typically
have problems with resentment and impatience. At their
Best: wise, discerning, realistic, and noble. Can be
morally heroic.
2. The Helper. The caring, interpersonal type. Twos are
empathetic, sincere, and warm-hearted. They are friendly,
generous, and self-sacrificing, but can also be sentimental,
flattering, and people-pleasing. They are well-meaning
and driven to be close to others, but can slip into doing
things for others in order to be needed. They typically
have problems with possessiveness and with
acknowledging their own needs. At their Best: unselfish
and altruistic, they have unconditional love for others.
3. The Achiever. The adaptable, success-oriented type.
Threes are self-assured, attractive, and charming.
Ambitious, competent, and energetic, they can also be
status-conscious and highly driven for advancement. They
are diplomatic and poised, but can also be overly
concerned with their image and what others think of them.
They typically have problems with workaholism and
competitiveness. At their Best: self-accepting, authentic,
everything they seem to berole models who inspire
others.
4. The Individualist. The introspective, romantic type.
Fours are self-aware, sensitive, and reserved. They are
emotionally honest, creative, and personal, but can also be
moody and self-conscious. Withholding themselves from
others due to feeling vulnerable and defective, they can
also feel disdainful and exempt from ordinary ways of
living. They typically have problems with melancholy,
self-indulgence, and self-pity. At their Best: inspired and
highly creative, they are able to renew themselves and
transform their experiences.
5. The Investigator. The perceptive, cerebral type. Fives
are alert, insightful, and curious. They are able to
concentrate and focus on developing complex ideas and
skills. Independent, innovative, and inventive, they can
also become preoccupied with their thoughts and
imaginary constructs. They become detached, yet highstrung and intense. They typically have problems with
eccentricity, nihilism, and isolation. At their Best:

visionary pioneers, often ahead of their time, and able to
see the world in an entirely new way.
6. The Loyalist. The committed, security-oriented type.
Sixes are reliable, hard-working, responsible, and
trustworthy. Excellent troubleshooters, they foresee
problems and foster cooperation, but can also become
defensive, evasive, and anxiousrunning on stress while
complaining about it. They can be cautious and
indecisive, but also reactive, defiant and rebellious. They
typically have problems with self-doubt and suspicion. At
their Best: internally stable and self-reliant, courageously
championing themselves and others.
7. The Enthusiast. The busy, productive type. Sevens are
extroverted, optimistic, versatile, and spontaneous.
Playful, high-spirited, and practical, they can also
misapply their many talents, becoming over-extended,
scattered, and undisciplined. They constantly seek new
and exciting experiences, but can become distracted and
exhausted by staying on the go. They typically have
problems with impatience and impulsiveness.
At their Best: they focus their talents on worthwhile goals,
becoming appreciative, joyous, and satisfied.
8. The Challenger. The powerful, aggressive type. Eights
are self-confident, strong, and assertive. Protective,
resourceful, straight-talking, and decisive, but can also be
ego-centric and domineering. Eights feel they must
control their environment, especially people, sometimes
becoming confrontational and intimidating. Eights
typically have problems with their tempers and with
allowing themselves to be vulnerable. At their Best: selfmastering, they use their strength to improve others' lives,
becoming heroic, magnanimous, and inspiring.
9. The Peacemaker. The easy-going, self-effacing type.
Nines are accepting, trusting, and stable. They are usually
grounded, supportive, and often creative, but can also be
too willing to go along with others to keep the peace.
They want everything to go smoothly and be without
conflict, but they can also tend to be complacent and
emotionally distant, simplifying problems and ignoring
anything upsetting. They typically have problems with
inertia and stubbornness. At their Best: indomitable and
all-embracing, they are able to bring people together and
heal conflicts.
