The Enneagram

Driven to be good and do things right. Principled, reliable, and self-controlled — with an inner critic that rarely clocks off.

Driven to be loved and needed. Warm, generous, and people-focused — better at giving help than asking for it.

Driven to succeed and be admired. Energetic, adaptable, and effective — with self-worth tied closely to results.

Driven to be authentic and unique. Emotionally deep and creative — drawn to what feels missing.

Driven to understand the world. Independent and insightful — protective of time and energy.

Driven to find security and support. Loyal, prepared, and vigilant — with a mind that runs worst-case scenarios.

Driven to stay free and stimulated. Optimistic, quick, and adventurous — always half in the next plan.

Driven to be strong and in control. Direct, decisive, and protective — allergic to vulnerability.

Driven to keep inner and outer peace. Calm, patient, and accepting — prone to forgetting their own wants.
