The enneagram of personality types is �a development of modern psychology that has roots in spiritual wisdom from many different ancient traditions.� (Riso & Hudson, p. 9) It is based on a nine-pointed geometric figure that is �comprised of the circle, the triangle and the hexad. �Each point represents a personality type and each type is referred to as its number on the figure.

I am an Investigator (Five)

Fives are alert, insightful, and curious. They are able to concentrate and focus on developing complex ideas and skills. Independent, innovative, and inventive, they can also become preoccupied with their thoughts and imaginary constructs. They become detached, yet high-strung and intense. They typically have problems with eccentricity, nihilism, and isolation. At their Best: visionary pioneers, often ahead of their time, and able to see the world in an entirely new way.

Type Four
The Individualist
The introspective, romantic type. Fours are self-aware, sensitive, and reserved. They are emotionally honest, creative, and personal, but can also be moody and self-conscious. Withholding themselves from others due to feeling vulnerable and defective, they can also feel disdainful and exempt from ordinary ways of living.

Basic Fear: That they have no identity or personal significance

I tied  6 and 9

Type Six
The Loyalist
The committed, security-oriented type. Sixes are reliable, hard-working, responsible, and trustworthy. Excellent "troubleshooters," they foresee problems and foster cooperation, but can also become defensive, evasive, and anxious�running on stress while complaining about it. They can be cautious and indecisive, but also reactive, defiant and rebellious. They typically have problems with self-doubt and suspicion. At their Best: internally stable and self-reliant, courageously championing themselves and others.



Type Nine
The Peacemaker
The easy-going, self-effacing type. Nines are accepting, trusting, and stable.
They are usually grounded, supportive, and often creative, but can also be too
willing to go along with others to keep the peace. They want everything to go
smoothly and be without conflict, but they can also tend to be complacent and
emotionally distant, simplifying problems and ignoring anything upsetting. They
typically have problems with inertia and stubbornness. At their Best: indomitable
and all- embracing, they are able to bring people together and heal conflicts.

I had a 3-way tie with #3, #6, and #9

I agree 100% with #3, not so much 6 or 9


Type Three
The Achiever
The adaptable, success-oriented type. Threes are self-assured, attractive, and charming. Ambitious, competent, and energetic, they can also be status-conscious and highly driven for advancement. They are diplomatic and poised, but can also be overly concerned with their image and what others think of them. They typically have problems with workaholism and competitiveness. At their Best:: self-accepting, authentic, everything they seem to be�role models who inspire others.
