The Enneagram:
why you do what you do
Unlike MBTI which describes how you think, the Enneagram reveals why — your core motivation, deepest fear, and the story you tell yourself about the world.
The Gut Center
The instinctive center. Gut types respond to the world through action, resistance, or withdrawal. They deal with anger — whether they express it, repress it, or redirect it.
The Heart Center
The emotional center. Heart types respond through feeling and image. They deal with shame — whether they help others to feel worthy, achieve to feel valuable, or withdraw into uniqueness.
The Head Center
The thinking center. Head types respond through analysis, strategy, or planning. They deal with fear — whether they withdraw to know more, seek security in loyalty, or run toward stimulation.
More than a number
Wings
Your type is always flavored by one of its neighbors — your wing. A Type 4w3 is a Romantic with an achiever's drive. A 4w5 is a Romantic with a withdrawn, intellectual quality.
Centers of intelligence
The nine types organize into three centers: Gut (8, 9, 1) deal with instinct and anger; Heart (2, 3, 4) deal with feeling and shame; Head (5, 6, 7) deal with thinking and fear.
Levels of health
Each type expresses very differently at different levels of psychological health — from their most integrated, radiant self to their most distressed, contracted patterns.
