Overview of the 9 Enneagram types, their wings, core motivations, fears, strengths, challenges, relationships, and growth themes.
The Enneagram is a 9-type personality model that focuses on core motivations, fears, and coping strategies. Rather than just describing behavior on the surface, it looks at what drives you from the inside out. On this page you can browse all nine types at a glance and click into each profile for a deeper description.
Each Enneagram type has a number and a theme (for example, Type 1 Reformer, Type 2 Helper, Type 3 Achiever, Type 4 Individualist, Type 5 Observer, Type 6 Loyalist, Type 7 Enthusiast, Type 8 Challenger, and Type 9 Peacemaker). The short profiles below summarize motivations, strengths, challenges, work style and relationship tendencies for each type.
You can start by taking the Enneagram test on Taroscoper, then come back to this index to read the full profile for your type and nearby wings. Over time, you can also use this page as a quick reference to understand partners, friends, and coworkers through the lens of the 9 Enneagram types.
You orient to what's right and reliable. Standards, ethics, and improvement matter—personally and collectively. You spot small inconsistencies others miss and feel calmer when expectations are clear. Under pressure you tighten your grip: organize more, correct more, and push for better. Growth means softening perfection into excellence and letting warmth coexist with standards.
You notice needs quickly and move toward people with generous support. Being useful feels like love in motion. When overextended you ignore your needs, give past your limits, or seek appreciation to feel secure. Growth means asking directly, setting kind boundaries, and letting care flow both ways.
You translate goals into wins and adapt fast to the room. Success fuels you—metrics, milestones, and public proof. Under stress you overwork, polish the image, or detach from deeper feelings. Growth means redefining success to include authenticity, rest, and relationships that don’t depend on performance.
You seek authenticity and meaning, sensing emotional textures others miss. You’d rather be real than liked. Under stress you compare, withdraw, or amplify mood to feel significant. Growth means creating consistently, sharing gently, and letting ordinary moments count as proof of worth.
You conserve energy to think deeply and move precisely. Competence and understanding are safety: you map systems, reduce noise, and design clean solutions. When overtaxed you withdraw, minimize needs, or delay action until certainty arrives. Growth means sharing drafts early, collaborating selectively, and trusting that version one can teach you the rest.
You anticipate risk and build safety—through plans, alliances, and steady effort. Trust is earned; once given, you defend it fiercely. Under stress you can oscillate between doubt and defiance. Growth means backing your own judgment, choosing courage over reassurance, and acting before certainty is absolute.
You move toward possibility—ideas, adventures, and new angles that keep life vivid. Pain feels like a trap, so you reframe, pivot, and stay in motion. When unbalanced you scatter, over-promise, or avoid hard feelings. Growth means discerning yes from no, finishing what excites you, and discovering depth on the other side of discomfort.
You move with force and clarity, taking space so others can have theirs. You respect strength and directness, and you protect your people fiercely. When triggered you can steamroll, deny vulnerability, or fight to control. Growth means channeling power into protection with tenderness and letting trust soften hard edges.
You seek harmony within and around you. You sense many sides and prefer common ground to confrontation. When unbalanced you numb out, defer preferences, or stall. Growth means naming what you want, taking small decisive steps, and learning that true peace includes your presence and voice.
The Enneagram is a 9-type personality framework that focuses on inner motivation, fear, and desire rather than just outer behavior. Unlike simple “type quizzes,” it explores why you do what you do, and how stress, growth, and wings shape your style over time. You can combine Enneagram results with 16 Jung, Big Five, or HEXACO for a fuller picture of your personality on Taroscoper.
A good starting point is to take the Enneagram test on Taroscoper, then read the full profile for your top types and wings. Pay special attention to core fears and motivations — whichever description feels uncomfortably accurate is usually your primary type.
Your Enneagram wing is one of the numbers next to your core type on the Enneagram circle (for example, Type 5 can have a 4 wing or a 6 wing). Wings color your expression — they can make a type more people-focused, more analytical, more dramatic, more driven, and so on. On Taroscoper, results typically display a primary type plus a likely wing (such as 5w4, 9w1, or 2w3).
