DEFINITION OF ENNEAGRAM.
The word Enneagram comes from the Greek ennea (nine) and gramma (stroke). In geometry, an enneagram is a nine-pointed star. Each point is a personality type, an enneatype, a typical profile of the nine enneagrams.
The word personality derives from the Latin “personam”, a term that designated the mask with which people covered their faces.
DECIPHERING THE NINE-POINTED STAR.
The Enneagram has nine basic types of personalities.
Each vertex is an enneatype; these accompany the central triangle, which indicates personal character. These nine personalities are the primary forms of human behavior.
- Instinctive personalities 8, 9, 1
- Emotional personalities 2,3,4
- Mental personalities 5,6,7
INSTINCTS: those vital and instinctive impulses help us assert our territory (for example, anger). Sexuality is also very marked in this area.
EMOTIONS: are those emotional qualities that are in favor of relating to other people. With them, we feel united with others. You could say that this is love.
THOUGHTS: they are the functions of perception. We need them to guide us and feel safe.
