The Enneagram 137 tritype combination, often nicknamed “The Taskmaster”, features a dominant type from each of the three centers of intelligence in the Enneagram system: Gut (Type 1), Heart (Type 3), and Head (Type 7).
Here’s an overview of these Enneagram types:
- Type 1, also known as the Perfectionist or Reformer: This type emphasizes moral integrity and rational self-control. Type Ones strive for self-improvement and often see the world in terms of how it could be improved. They are typically conscientious, responsible, and committed to their principles.
- Type 3, also known as the Achiever or Performer: This type is success-oriented, adaptable, and driven. Type Threes focus on achievements and personal advancement, which can translate into a certain level of efficiency and pragmatism. They can be very image-conscious and may fear being viewed as unsuccessful or unimpressive.
- Type 7, also known as the Enthusiast or Visionary: This type—and the dominant type for the Head center in this tritype—is future-oriented, upbeat, and adventurous. Type Sevens are pleasure-seekers who anticipate new positives experiences. They hate being limited or confined and can be prone to impatience and overdoing things.
A person with a 137 tritype is likely to be forward-moving, action-oriented, and driven to accomplish their goals and visions. They value integrity and accomplishment, and they pursue experiences filled with joy and engagement. On the other hand, this tritype may struggle with workaholism, perfectionism, or avoidance of negative feelings. There could be a tendency to “gloss over” difficulties, stay perpetually busy to avoid uncomfortable emotions, or to become overly critical of oneself and others for not matching up to ideal standards.
