Enneagram Article Series

I recently finished a series of Enneagram articles. I was dissatisfied with most Enneagram descriptions, because they often consist of nothing more than a laundry list of traits with little reasoning behind them. For a long time, I was turned off to Enneagram because it didn't make sense. So I recently decided to write my own Enneagram articles that would start off with the most basic elements of the personality and then move up to the outward traits that we all know and love.

These descriptions cover the following things:

- A brief introduction to Enneagram.
- A summary of basic concepts about the type.
- A description of the type.
- Analysis of the type's wings.
- Analysis of the growth and stress arrows of that type.
- Descriptions of the type's variants (sexual, self-pres, social)
- MBTI and Enneagram Interaction
- Paths to security for each type
- Freudian associations

Enjoy. ;D

Much appreciated timeless!

Whooo! @timeless is brilliant! :D So interesting, and there's so much in there, and it's all compiled so neatly, awesome resource :D

Thank you Timeless. Are you trying to win MOTM a second time?

You, sir, are a genius.

This is awesome, thank you!

I enjoyed reading your article, you have good understanding. The “Holy Idea” of Type Nine is love; I think people could Handel a bit more meat on the bone.

I think it relates to the receptive state, reconciliation and an affirmation of one's own goodness within a contextual awareness of the Devine or sacredness of Creation, being experienced.

A union of the anima and animus with in the self’s perceptual awareness. Awareness free of a subtotal ignorance and sullied bias, with in cognition.


Great work, you would be and possibly are a good educator.

Just curious, timeless; you describe all possible mbti-enneagram combinations like ISXJ 7s - did you really meet people with that combo or ?
