|
Type One |
|
| The Reformer |
The principled,
idealistic type. Ones are conscientious and ethical,
with a strong sense of right and wrong. They are
teachers, crusaders, and advocates for change: always
striving to improve things, but afraid of making a
mistake. Well-organized, orderly, and fastidious, they
try to maintain high standards, but can slip into being
critical and perfectionistic. They typically have
problems with resentment and impatience. At their
Best: wise, discerning, realistic, and noble. Can be
morally heroic. |
|
Type Two |
|
| The Helper |
The caring,
interpersonal type. Twos are empathetic, sincere, and
warm-hearted. They are friendly, generous, and
self-sacrificing, but can also be sentimental,
flattering, and people-pleasing. They are well-meaning
and driven to be close to others, but can slip into
doing things for others in order to be needed. They
typically have problems with possessiveness and with
acknowledging their own needs. At their Best:
unselfish and altruistic, they have unconditional love
for others. |
|
Type Three |
|
| The Achiever |
The adaptable,
success-oriented type. Threes are self-assured,
attractive, and charming. Ambitious, competent, and
energetic, they can also be status-conscious and highly
driven for advancement. They are diplomatic and poised,
but can also be overly concerned with their image and
what others think of them. They typically have problems
with workaholism and competitiveness. At their Best:
self-accepting, authentic, everything they seem to
be–role models who inspire others. |
|
Type Four |
|
| The Individualist |
The introspective,
romantic type. Fours are self-aware, sensitive, and
reserved. They are emotionally honest, creative, and
personal, but can also be moody and self-conscious.
Withholding themselves from others due to feeling
vulnerable and defective, they can also feel disdainful
and exempt from ordinary ways of living. They typically
have problems with melancholy, self-indulgence, and
self-pity. At their Best: inspired and highly
creative, they are able to renew themselves and
transform their experiences. |
|
Type Five |
|
| The Investigator |
The perceptive, cerebral
type. Fives are alert, insightful, and curious. They are
able to concentrate and focus on developing complex
ideas and skills. Independent, innovative, and
inventive, they can also become preoccupied with their
thoughts and imaginary constructs. They become detached,
yet high-strung and intense. They typically have
problems with eccentricity, nihilism, and isolation.
At their Best: visionary pioneers, often ahead of
their time, and able to see the world in an entirely new
way. |
|
Type Six |
|
| The Loyalist |
The committed,
security-oriented type. Sixes are reliable,
hard-working, responsible, and trustworthy. Excellent
"troubleshooters," they foresee problems and foster
cooperation, but can also become defensive, evasive, and
anxious–running on stress while complaining about it.
They can be cautious and indecisive, but also reactive,
defiant and rebellious. They typically have problems
with self-doubt and suspicion. At their Best:
internally stable and self-reliant, courageously
championing themselves and others. |
|
Type Seven |
|
| The Enthusiast |
The busy, productive
type. Sevens are extroverted, optimistic, versatile, and
spontaneous. Playful, high-spirited, and practical, they
can also misapply their many talents, becoming
over-extended, scattered, and undisciplined. They
constantly seek new and exciting experiences, but can
become distracted and exhausted by staying on the go.
They typically have problems with impatience and
impulsiveness. At their Best: they focus their
talents on worthwhile goals, becoming appreciative,
joyous, and satisfied. |
|
Type Eight |
|
| The Challenger |
The powerful, aggressive
type. Eights are self-confident, strong, and assertive.
Protective, resourceful, straight-talking, and decisive,
but can also be ego-centric and domineering. Eights feel
they must control their environment, especially people,
sometimes becoming confrontational and intimidating.
Eights typically have problems with their tempers and
with allowing themselves to be vulnerable. At their
Best: self-mastering, they use their strength to
improve others' lives, becoming heroic, magnanimous, and
inspiring. |
| Type
Nine |
|
| The Peacemaker |
The easy-going,
self-effacing type. Nines are accepting, trusting, and
stable. They are usually creative, optimistic, and
supportive, but can also be too willing to go along with
others to keep the peace. They want everything to go
smoothly and be without conflict, but they can also tend
to be complacent, simplifying problems and minimizing
anything upsetting. They typically have problems with
inertia and stubbornness. At their Best:
indomitable and all-embracing, they are able to bring
people together and heal conflicts. |
