The Enneagram is a powerful tool for understanding ourselves and others. It’s a system of personality typing that describes patterns in how people interpret the world and manage their emotions. The Enneagram model consists of nine main personality types, but it also allows for more complex models, such as Tritypes.
The Tritype concept is an extension of the Enneagram model, first introduced by Katherine Chernick Fauvre. It posits that while individuals have a dominant Enneagram type, they also display significant characteristics of two other types, one from each of the other two centers of intelligence: the gut or body center, the heart or emotional center, and the head or fear center.
The 146 Tritype is one such combination, in which type 1 is the dominant type in the gut or instinctive center, type 4 is the dominant type in the heart or feeling center, and type 6 is the dominant type in the head or thinking center.
Here’s a brief overview of these types:
- Type 1 is often referred to as “The Perfectionist” or “The Reformer”. They are principled, disciplined, and driven by a strong sense of right and wrong.
- Type 4, also known as “The Individualist” or “The Romantic”, is emotionally sensitive, creative, and driven by a desire for uniqueness and authenticity.
- Type 6, or “The Loyalist” is responsible, hardworking, and driven by a deep need for security and stability.
As a combination, the 146 Tritype is likely to be highly principled (Type 1), a deep feeler (Type 4), and security-oriented (Type 6). The individuals with this Tritype are often driven by a sense of responsibility and a desire for understanding and stability. They are typically methodical, detail-oriented, and introspective. They seek authenticity and have a significant focus on ethics and morality.
However, these individuals may struggle with feelings of anxiety and self-doubt (Type 6) and may have a tendency to be overly critical or perfectionistic (Type 1). They can also experience feelings of being different or misunderstood due to their intense emotions (Type 4). Understanding and acknowledging these challenges can help those with a 146 Tritype to achieve greater self-awareness and personal growth.
It’s important to note that, while the concept of Tritypes can provide a more nuanced understanding of our personalities, it is just one tool among many for self-understanding. Everyone is unique, and no type or Tritype can fully capture the complexity of an individual human being.
