The Enneagram personality theory was first developed by Oscar Ichazo in 1931, and it was later modernized by psychiatrist Claudio Naranjo and a group of Jesuit priests. With their new findings on the study, psychologist Don Riso and Russ Hudson formed the Enneagram Institute, which has improved apon the theory and now brings it to us in its most modern form.
Types
There are 9 types of personalities, each defined by a certain ego fixation, i.e. psychological need. Although each of the 9 types are active within you, one ego fixation will be so strong or deeply ingrained within you that it will determine your personality.
Ego fixations of the 9 types include:
Type 1: The Reformer - To be good, to have integrity, to be balanced.
Type 2: The Helper - To feel loved.
Type 3: The Achiever - To feel valuable and worthwhile.
Type 4: The Individualist - To find themselves and their significance (to create an identity).
Type 5: The Investigator - To be capable and competent.
Type 6: The Loyalist - To have security and support.
Type 7: The Enthusiast - To be satisfied and content—to have their needs fulfilled.
Type 8: The Challenger - To protect themselves (to be in control of their own life and destiny).
Type 9: The Peacemaker - To have inner stability “peace of mind.”
