Enneagram of Personality 九型人格

The Enneagram is a highly sophisticated system of nine personality profiles that are meant to help us know ourselves and others “as we/they are to themselves”. Each type profile serves as a customized road map for on-going personal growth consistent with categories of modern psychological typology. The nine types are as follows:

Type One: The Perfectionist

"I'm not angry, I'm just trying to get it right!" Basic Proposition: There is a right way and a wrong way to do everything.

Habitual Focus of Attention: What is right or wrong, correct or incorrect.

What "Perfectionists" tell us about themselves:

?They live with a powerful inner critic that monitors every thought, word, and deed;

?They worry about getting things right and are unusually sensitive to criticism;

?They strive for perfection and feel responsible;

?"Perfectionists" also report a focus on being good and repress their impulses/desires for pleasure;

?They can be rigid, overly controlled, seeing virtue as its own reward.

Type Two: The Giver

"I know lots of people who couldn't get along without me. Where's the pride in that?" Basic Proposition: Love and survival depend on "giving to get".

Habitual Focus of Attention: Other people's needs

What "Givers" observe about themselves:

? A preoccupation with the needs of others;

?Pride in giving and helping;

?Sometimes feel taken advantage of;

?Have a hard time expressing their own needs;

?Are manipulative; and

?Alter their self-presentation to meet the needs of important others.

Type Three: The Performer

"I'm busy all of the time. There's competition in everything I do. I just love that arena." Basic Proposition: Love and recognition are only for "champions".

Habitual Focus of Attention: Tasks, Roles, & Results

What "Performers" observe about themselves:

?Their primary identification is with accomplishment and success;

?They seek approval and acceptance based on performance;

?Their attention goes to task;

?Image is important;

?They feel constant pressure to perform; and

?There is an inattention to feelings/"Not now".

Type Four: The Romantic

I cannot imagine anyone envying me. By comparison, if I had what others had, then I would be

more fulfilled and happy. Basic Proposition: Others enjoy the happiness that I have been denied.

Habitual Focus of Attention: "Best" is what's absent.

What "Romantics" observe about themselves:

?There is a constant longing for the missing ingredient for personal happiness;

?Their focus is on the best of what's missing, what’s distant, and what's hard to get;

?The "ordinary" pales by comparison;

?There is a deeply felt abandonment that translates into a belief that "I am un- loveable”: and, ?"Romanitics" feel special and elite. Their suffering sets them apart from others.

Type Five: The Observer

"I think I feel..." Basic Proposition: Love and respect are gained by practicing self-sufficiency.

Habitual Focus of Attention: What others want from me.

What "Observers" tell us about themselves:

?They have a marked need for privacy;

?They limit intrusion from a world that wants too much from them;

?As a result, "Observers" hoard time, space, energy, knowledge and themselves;

?They detach from feelings and observe rather than participate; and,

?They are minimalists

Type Six: The Loyal Skeptic

What is really going here?...." Basic Proposition: Love and protection are gained by vigilance and endurance.

Habitual Focus of Attention: Threat, hazard, difficulties

What "Loyal Skeptics" tell us about themselves:

?They are preoccupied with safety and security concerns;

?They greet everything with a doubting mind, and contrary thinking;

?"Loyal Skeptics" report active imaginations that amplify questionable areas;

?They question people and authority;

?They procrastinate because of fearing the outcome, failing to complete projects

Type Seven: The Epicure

What's next?.....that's my escape from pain." Basic Proposition: Pain and frustration can be avoided and the good life assured by inventing options, opportunities, and adventures.

Habitual Focus of Attention: The positive in all things

What "Epicures" tell us about themselves:

?Life is an adventure!

?"Epicures" are pleasure-seeking and gluttons for experience and enjoyment;

?They are optimistic, active, and energetic;

?See multiple options, but

?have difficulty with commitment; and

?Do not want limits on themselves

Type Eight: The Boss

If people start backing off, that doesn't make my anger go away, but if you match it, it will lower

and I'll sit down and talk." Basic Proposition: Protection and respect are gained by becoming strong and powerful and by hiding vulnerability.

Habitual Focus of Attention: Power, Injustices and Control.

What "Protectors" tell us about themselves:

?They want stimulation and excitement;

?They are concerned with strength and protecting the weak;

?"Protectors" are direct, confrontational and express their anger immediately;

?They are aggressive, intimidating and impulsive; but

?Deny their own vulnerability and weakness.

Type Nine: The Mediator

"Who am I again....?"

Basic Proposition: Belonging and comfort are gained by attending to and merging with others and by dispersing energy into substitute objects.

Habitual Focus of Attention: The inessential and the agenda of others.

What "Mediators" tell us about themselves:

?They see all sides to every issue as peacemakers and harmonizers;

?They avoid conflict and want the comfortale solution;

?They have difficulty saying "no";

?They are ambivalent about their own needs and wants;

?They "go along to get along".

Wings

Most, but not all, Enneagram of Personality theorists teach that a person's basic type is modified, at least to some extent, by the personality dynamics of the two adjacent types as indicated on the Enneagram figure. These two types are often called "wings". A person of the Type Three, for example, is understood to have points Two and Four as their wing types. The circle of the Enneagram figure may indicate that the types or points exist on a spectrum rather than as distinct types or points unrelated to those adjacent to them.[citation needed] A person may be understood, therefore, to have a core type and one or two wing types that influence but do not change the core type.

Stress and Security Points

The lines between the points add further meaning to the information provided by the descriptions of the types. Sometimes called the "security" and "stress" points, or points of "integration" and "disintegration", these connected points also contribute to a person's overall personality. There are, therefore, at least four other points that can significantly affect a person's core personality; the two points connected by the lines to the core type and the two wing points.

Roman Catholic criticism

In 2000, the United States' Committee on Doctrine produced a draft report on the origins of the Enneagram to aid bishops in their evaluation of its use in their dioceses. The report identified aspects of the intersection between the Enneagram and Catholicism which, in their opinion, warranted particular scrutiny and were seen as potential areas of concern, stating that "While the Enneagram system shares little with traditional Christian doctrine or spirituality, it also shares little with the methods and criteria of modern science... The burden of proof is on proponents of the Enneagram to furnish scientific evidence for their claims." Partly in response to some Jesuits and members of other religious orders teaching a Christian understanding of the Enneagram of Personality, a 2003 Vatican document called Jesus Christ, the Bearer of the Water of Life. A Christian Reflection on the 'New Age' says that the Enneagram "when used as a means of spiritual growth introduces an ambiguity in the doctrine and the life of the Christian faith.
