9 Paths of Being

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.

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 A 4w5 is a Romantic with a withdrawn, intellectual quality.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.
