Challenges of the types, by triad.

Enneagram is the main reason people with the same MBTI type might seem very different from each other. Where MBTI deals with how you take in and process information, Enneagram is what motivates you.

CORE TYPE

Your core type tells about the most dominant motivations of your personality. This type is what everything else is filtered through. Your core type cannot change throughout life.

INSTINCTUAL VARIANTS

Enneagram recognizes three different instincts:

self-preservation (SP)

social (SOC)

sexual (SX).

SP is often characterized by an interest in health, safety, and security. SOC has an eye on the interpersonal, political, and species survival. SX deals with intensity, chemistry between people, and expression. You usually use these in different order.

TRITYPE

Tritype deals with your coping mechanisms.

Each type describes the way you deal with each centre. Head centre tells how you deal with fear, gut how you deal with anger, and heart how you cope with shame.

The types associated with each area are: Shame: 2, 3, 4 Fear: 5, 6, 7 Anger: 8, 9, 1
