The mind types
Mind types access the world through their thoughts and intellectual understanding, often engaging in analysis and problem-solving. They seek security in knowledge. Be that academic knowledge (type 5), knowledge of how the world functions (type 6), or experiential knowledge (type 7).
Type 5: The Investigator
Fives are the quintessential experts of the Enneagram. They are the most introverted point on the Enneagram, rejecting intrusions on their time and space. They investigate, observe, acquire knowledge, and develop genuine expertise in all sorts of fascinating fields and sometimes, in quite obscure fields.
Type 6: The Loyalist
Enneagram Sixes are known as the Loyalists. I think of them as the quintessential team players. They thrive when working together and achieving collective goals. They’re reliable, with a deep sense of responsibility. They’re security-oriented and look to create stability and safety in their environments.
Type 7: The Enthusiast
Sevens are adventurous and optimistic. They seek variety, excitement, and new experiences. In their pursuit of stimulation, they dive into things (people, circumstances, areas of study, internet rabbit holes) but become easily bored and abandon them just as quickly as they pick them up.
The body types
Body types access the world through their physical presence and instinctual responses, often engaging in direct action and assertiveness. They seek a sense of order through autonomy and control: be that in asserting strength and leadership (Type 8), maintaining inner peace and comfort (Type 9), or upholding principles and integrity (Type 1).
Type 8: The Challenger
If you’re going to reduce an Enneagram Eight down to one thing, it’s their capacity to wield power. Whether for good or evil, is up to the individual. Eights are direct communicators. They generally don’t back down from confrontation, and are comfortable expressing most emotions, including anger and frustration.
Type 9: The Peacemaker
Nines desire harmony and peace. They look for points of connection and attempt to create emotional stability in themselves and in the world. Each Enneagram point has a high attunement to something. For Nines, it's conflict. Often this can mean they avoid putting forth their opinions, waiting to hear from others first.
Type 1: The Perfectionist
Ones uphold high ethical standards - to the point of perfectionism - and strive for integrity. They have a keen eye for detail and excel at ensuring quality and precision in their work. They take their commitments seriously, follow through on their promises, and are committed to consistent improvement in their careers and lives.
