An enneagram tells you your number and personality type

“When I was 25 years old, introduced to Enneagram, I was fascinated by how the writing system of 9 types of human characters accurately depicted my personality.” These are the words of Alberto Peña Shavarino, a health psychologist and personality psychology expert, “I realized that the way I think, be, and relate to others has been written.”

Egram is a map that maps out “nine global visions of reality”. Peña Chavarino runs AutoGnosis, a school that provides training in the enneagram. He asserts that the nine personalities are no better than the others and can be complementary to each other: “We all have a little of each one, but there are tendencies that determine the way we see reality.”

We all have a little bit of every number, but there are trends that define our way of seeing reality.”

In general, all nine styles have positive qualities, abilities, and abilities. The problem “comes with misalignments”. They are not fixed traits of personality or behaviour, but rather basic cognitive tendencies and motives.

This professor from the International Enneagram Society explains the nine personality types, which in turn can be divided into three groups: 2, 3 and 4 are the most emotional; 5, 6 and 7 are the mental and constitute the hedonistic block, while 8, 9 and 1 form the visceral or controlling trinity. In short, let’s see how Alberto Peña Shavarino describes it.

1. Perfectionist

It personifies the search for moral correctness and perfection, needs order. He wants to avoid criticism, do things well, and be said to be good. He is very serious, he wants to be right and the rules to be followed. When out of balance, you tend to get angry, which is often done internally and can explode from within.

2. The Wizard

It is important for him to communicate and communicate with others. You must feel wanted and wanted. He wants to be accompanied that he believes they will appreciate by caring for and adapting to others. Balancedly, it establishes complicity, trust and long-term relationships. In a state of imbalance you can become emotionally dependent.

3. Excellent

They seek to feel valued by showing their most effective sides, because they seek to be admired and to adapt their behavior to the social environment. When they are out of balance, they try to maintain their public image, which may lead them to hide their intentions, more out of fear of rejection than out of desire to deceive.

4. Origin

It should feel original, special and unique. He constantly strives to realize himself as a person. Sometimes he feels unrenewed and needs to constantly transform. When out of balance, they can become very emotionally expressive or self-absorbed, they can have excessive emotional reactions inward or outward, or they can go into depression or mania.

5. Analytical

Ask for freedom and independence. Sometimes, he shows detachment behaviors. You can be in a relationship, but you want to be respected. He wants to be with people, but without being overpowered. They are related but with a certain distance. When you are out of balance, you distance yourself from people and feelings. It can seem far-fetched.

6. Wisdom

You have to feel safe, have certainty, and know that it will happen. When he’s looking for that safety, he’s wise, has very eclectic relationships, looks for people he trusts and thinks things through before making a decision. Show an image of friendliness and trust. In a state of imbalance, you can enter into a state of anxiety, because you need to prepare for what will happen.

7. Enthusiast

You need to motivate and maintain enthusiasm. You need news, you want to have a good time, be happy and have the feeling that you can choose the option that pleases you most at all times. In Libra, he is an Epicurean, enjoys little and lives in the present. Taken to the extreme, it can be quite fun and get gossip. When you don’t like something, you get frustrated.

8. Strong

Look for control through power. Think: I can and life cannot, I can get things done, I am capable, I am strong. Power means having the ability to act and influence the environment. If you use the power of a positive base, you are an entrepreneur, a protector, and dedicated to noble causes. If you use it in a negative way, you can become tyrannical and imposing.

9. Harmonious

Seeks control through harmony and calm. You need balance and peace, for things to happen at your own pace and energy level. Look for balance. In a balanced way, it makes the environment more stable and there is a good atmosphere and good mood. The problem of excessive harmony is that it leads to laziness, stinginess and even negligence.

“Igram is working to get to know you, accept you and know your areas for improvement. And also to get to know others,” Peña Chavarino explains. The nine types are the basic classification, and from there new classifications are opened. Practical applications are very diverse: in the business world, in sports or in the family environment.
