Characteristics

Chapter 1: The Enneagram's 9 Personalities

Enneagram Type 1 - The Perfectionist

This personality type is also called the Reformer. Their hidden motivation is anger. They chase after perfection in life and when it does not happen, they typically get angry and then really restless. They are exceptionally faithful the ones with high ethical values who work very hard to protect and look after their family and loved ones.

They have many positive qualities. They have an exceptional eye for detail for example. In impact, they will dot all the letters 'I' and cross all of the letters 'T' in all they do. Driven by a harsh inner critic, they always try very tough to make certain everything they do is as perfect as it can be. This triggers their need to enhance, which can be beneficial for all concerned, but which can also prove to be burdensome to both the type 1 and those who are on the getting end of the type 1's reform efforts.

But they also have negative qualities. They can be really fast to judge others though they feel extremely guilty doing so. Regardless of their clear gifts, they often can not like their own value and tend to have to cope with their inner critic - the voice inside their head telling them how worthless they are. They tend to believe that others are just being good when they give them a complement.

As they are perfectionists, they put themselves under constant pressure to do better, work harder and attain more. That can make them appear aggressive and uncaring in group situations.

Are you a Perfectionist?

Do you have a loud inner voice continually criticizing you?

Do you often wonder how you could have done something better or much faster?

Do you have trouble accepting compliments about your work?

Do you wish you were much easier going?

Do you redo the work of others as it does not measure up to your standards?

Have other individuals called you a perfectionist?

If you have identified yourself as a perfectionist then try these simple suggestions to help bring back the positive elements of your character type:

Learn to accept a compliment and have faith in its sincerity

Learn to relax more

You really need to take some personal time out to just enjoy yourself

Find ways of silencing your inner critic

Re-train your thoughts to end up being more positive

Work on the most negative qualities of your character type: a tendency to get mad with others, a disposition to be judgmental and a belief that it is your role to set the world straight no matter the consequences.

Following research study and assessment of yourself, you can learn to manage these negatives so that your personality will attach itself to the positive characteristics of your type. Being hard working, direct when proper and trying to change the world for the benefit of others are your positive qualities and these will be naturally highlighted when you learn to control the negatives.

Type 2: The Helper/Giver

Assistants want to help the world and its mother. They tend to handle everybody's issues as they actually believe that they can repair them. Their primary motivation is pride - everyone, they tend to think, needs help.

Their positive qualities are that they are extremely kind and practical to their fellow beings. They make fantastic supporters and right-hand people as they essentially enjoy being the suppliers of help. The welfare of the individual is the most important thing.

The provider or giver character type doesn't, by and big, tend to make a great leader. They usually don't like objectives and aren't mostly job orientated. They can allow themselves to end up being too emotionally involved which can typically cause negative feelings, like the impression of being used. Those negative feelings can in some cases trigger a lack of neutrality and they can easily lose focus of their role.

Helpers are typically spared from needing to deal with their own neediness and issues as they are far too busy helping others. They can usually be poor decision makers as they typically miss out on the bigger picture - the needs of the individual they are helping
