Enneagram — 9 Personality Types

Click any type to see its core motivation, fear, and full profile.

The Enneagram classifies personality into 9 interconnected types, each driven by a core motivation and a core fear. It's a typology focused on your "why" — the underlying drive behind your behaviour.

The 9 types are grouped into 3 triads: Heart (2-3-4), Head (5-6-7), and Gut (8-9-1). Below are all 9 types with their core descriptions.

FAQ

Can I be multiple types?: You have one core type, but typically a wing (one of the two neighbouring types) influences your expression.
What's the difference between types and triads?: Each triad shares a core emotion: Heart types deal with shame, Head with fear, Gut with anger.
Are types fixed for life?: Your core type tends to remain stable. Growth happens through awareness and integration of healthy traits from other types.
