Personality
The Enneagram is an ancient system used by spiritual teachers and mystics used to classify personality times. Nine personality types are arranged in three triads, with each triad occupying one row (thus making a 3 x 3 table). Each triad (feeling, doing, relating) consists of three personality types that have in common the assets and liabilities of that triad. One of the types overdevelops or overexpresses the characteristic faculty of the triad, another type underdevelops or underexpresses the faculty, and the third is out of touch with the faculty.This was taken from my English handout. I couldn't make it into a table because the space is too small.
A. Feeling Triad
1. Personality Type Two: The Helper
The Caring, Mothering Type: Concerned, helpful, possessive, and manipulative.
2. Personality Type Three: The Motivator
The Success-Oriented, Pragmatic Type: Self-assured, Ambitious, Narcissistic, and Hostile
3. Personality Type Four: The Artist
The Melancholy, Withdrawn Type: Creative, Individualistic, Self-absorbed, and Depressive
B. Doing Triad
1. Personality Type Five: The Thinker
The Intellectual, Analytic Type: Perceptive, Original, Eccentric, and Phobic
2. Personality Type Six: The Loyalist
The Committed, Traditionalist Type: Likeable, Responsible, Dependent and Masochistic
3. Personality Type Seven: The Generalist
The Hyperactive, Uninhibited Type: Enthusiastic, Accomplished, Excessive and Manic
C. Relating Triad
1. Personality Type Eight: The Leader
The Powerful, Dominating Type: Self-Confident, Decisive, Dictatorial, and Destructive
2. Personality Type Nine: The Peacemaker
The Easygoing, Phlegmatic Type: Accepting, Reassuring, Passive and Repressed
3. Personality Type One: The Reformer
The Rational, Idealistic Type: Principled, Orderly, Perfectionistic, and Intolerant
Do some of these ring bells? Some sound so like me...
Personality Type Four: The Artist: The Melancholy, Withdrawn Type: Creative, Individualistic, Self-absorbed and Depressive. Personality type four is the type in the Feeling Triad that underexpresses its feelings. Because their feelings are often shameful, chaotic and "dangerous", average to unhealthy Fours have learned to keep their feelings to themselves, partly so that they can sort them out, and partly to spare themselves from humiliation or punishment if they were to reveal what they actually feel.
Personality Type Five: The Thinker: The Intellectual, Analytic Type: Perceptive, Original, Eccentric and Phobic. Personality type five is the type in the Doing Triad that has underdevelop its ability to take practical action. Fives tend to substitute thinking for doing, feeling that they cannot risk acting until they have first carefully thought about what they might do, learned as much as possible about the task at hand, and foreseen every possible outcome if they act one way or another.
Ohh shucks. I keep my feelings inside, and I think about them too. It's a surprise I haven't exploded yet.
Natamaan lang ako. :)
