The Enneagram

Back to homepage

Here, I will add all sorts of Enneagram content!

The enneagram describes nine principal ways of navigating reality.

Underlying these nine strategies are core beliefs and motivations from which arise a unique set of behavior and attention patterns. Each of these strategies are given an arbitrary number from 1 to 9.

The core types are the ramifications of a disconnect from, or a disillusionment with pure and naive images of reality. This disconnect results in an egoic overcompensation, characterized by the passion, a distinct affective-volitional state, the elaboration of which defines a personality trait structure. The attention patterns of the type are governed by the traps, which justify and reconceive the fixation as a solution, when in fact it is a restrictive preoccupation which perpetuates a discrepancy and intensifies the type. The types, when following a trialectic principle, can give way to a more variegated and insightful understanding than when they are only individually considered.
