The Enneagram Tritype theory suggests that an individual will have a dominant type in each of the three centers of intelligence: gut, heart, and head, combining to form their overall personality. The 683 tritype, which would usually be referred to as the 368 tritype, includes aspects from Type 3 (The Achiever), Type 6 (The Loyalist), and Type 8 (The Challenger). 1. **Type 3 (The Achiever)** – The Achiever is adaptive, excelling, driven, and image-conscious. They are self-assured, ambitious, energetic, but on the downside, they can be concerned about their image and worried about their performance. Their core desire is to feel valuable and worthwhile. 2. **Type 6 (The Loyalist)** – The Loyalist is described as engaging, responsible, anxious, and suspicious. Individuals of this type are reliable, hard-working, and responsible, but they may also be defensive and evasive. They desire security, guidance, and support. 3. **Type 8 (The Challenger)** – The Challenger is described as self-confident, decisive, willful, and confrontational. They are protective, resourceful, and straight-talking, but they can also be domineering and confrontational. The core desire of an Eight is to be self-governed and protect oneself from any form of manipulation. With this combination, the 368 tritype is likely someone who is driven, hard-working, assertive, and motivated. They are likely to be very oriented towards action and results and have a keen sense for ensuring their environment is secure. This tritype is highly ambitious but also can be quite protective and dutiful. If they feel threatened or their ambition is challenged, they can come across as defensive or even confrontational. This tritype is often referred to as “The Assertive Protector” or “The Achiever”.
