What motivates us is not one-size-fits-all.
And staying focused through the winter means something different to us each.
The Enneagram is a framework of understanding personality structures rooted in both nature and nurture. It is a gateway to self-awareness and an understanding of others that opens up a path for us to experience a more integrated and rewarding life.
Knowing our Enneagram Type helps us uncover our unique drivers, motivators, fears and unmet childhood messages, which brings into sharp, clear focus nine different ways of looking at the world. It allows us to see how each worldview impacts the way we bring our unique thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to any situation. Even beyond behavior, the Enneagram delves into the often-secret, unconscious, or underlying motivations that give us a look at ‘why’ people do what they do.
The Enneagram emphasizes that we are all different and have different motivators. And to discover what motivates us, it is crucial to find the right balance between extrinsic and intrinsic motivators so we can motivate and energize ourselves (and others) successfully.
These one-word descriptors can be expanded into four-word sets of traits. Keep in mind that these are merely highlights and do not represent the full spectrum of each type.
Type #1 is principled, purposeful, self-controlled, and perfectionistic.
Type #2 is generous, demonstrative, people-pleasing, and possessive.
Type #3 is adaptable, excelling, driven, and image-conscious.
Type #4 is expressive, dramatic, self-absorbed, and temperamental.
Type #5 is perceptive, innovative, secretive, and isolated.
Type #6 is engaging, responsible, anxious, and suspicious.
Type #7 is spontaneous, versatile, acquisitive, and scattered.
Type #8 is self-confident, decisive, willful, and confrontational.
Type #9 is receptive, reassuring, complacent, and resigned.
