Kathryn Mack, How To Advocate For Yourself
Nine personality types of the Enneagram
One: The Perfectionist
Ones are detail-oriented. they are exacting, and want things to be done right. They act out of sense of duty, sometimes going overboard with their criticism. They are very good at making sure everything goes according to plan.
Two: The Helper
Twos care a lot about making other people happy. They have a tendency to lose themselves in meeting the needs of others. Twos make very attentive friends and like giving jobs such as social work, teaching, and health care.
Three: The Achiever
Threes are the ultimate multitasks. They like to take on a lot of projects at once, sometimes bogging themselves down with too many obligations. Threes make great public figures, such as board members, politicians, and spokespersons.
Four: The Feeler
Emotions run strong for the Four. They tend to care a lot about appearances (how they appear in the eyes of others), are generally self-expressive and/or artistic, and just want to be understood. Fours would rather work in a job that is meaningful to them rather than earn a lot of money.
Five: The Observer
Fives are greedy for information. They devour books, etc., and can become social misfits as they spend all their energy gathering knowledge. They tend to become researchers, professors, or Mad Scientists.
Six: The Skeptic
Sixes may think this whole personality profile is a bunk. Not only do they not want to be put in a box, they don't believe in "boxes" in general. They tend to doubt their own potential while yearning for stability. Fear of failure motivates many actions. Most Americans are Sixes.
Seven: The Epicure
Sevens are spontaneous, fun, happy, and concerned with appearances. They tend to have great senses of humor, are energetic, jovial, and friendly. However, Sevens tend to have a hard time digesting negative emotions.
Eight: The Leader
Eights like to control situations and conversations. They make great managers, are powerhouses for getting things done and decisions made. Eights sometimes neglect details, as they tend to be "big picture" people.
Nine: The Mediator
Nines are easy going and like to go with the flow. They don't complain, but they also don't tend to stand up for themselves enough. Nines are concerned with keeping the peace and like to avoid making waves.
