The 9 Personality Types
Wallace, Morgan . Color of the Enneagram: A Guide to Spiritual Growth, Happy Relationships, and Self-Discovery
Type 1 - The Teacher: WHITE Teachers work best with order, take initiative to step up and manage when the need arises, and are very hard on themselves.
Type 2 - The Teammate: ORANGE Teammates are very sociable, nurture relationships with others, and do their best to feel needed by others.
Type 3 - The Entrepreneur: YELLOW Entrepreneurs determine their self-worth based on their accomplishments, come across as single-minded go-getters, and will do whatever it takes to avoid failure.
Type 4 - The Lone Wolf: PURPLE The Lone Wolf is a unique individual who often comes across as eclectic, is unable to put forth their true selves due to feeling different from others, and seeks recognition in the activities they are interested in.
Type 5 - The Explorer: GREEN Explorers are effective task-masters that know how to work smarter and not harder, prefer solitude and independence to socialization, and tend to be introverts who prefer scholarly activities to physical ones.
Type 6 - The Devoted: BLUE The Devoted are dedicated to law and rules, do not tend to take risks, always respect authority, and are ready for any situation.
Type 7 - The Fanatic: RED Fanatics live lives of chaos filled with adventure, are unable to sit still for any period of time, and fear stagnation.
Type 8 - The Dominator: BLACK Dominators are firm personalities that are very self-reliant, tend to come off as forceful, and will take control out of fear of being seen as weak.
Type 9 - The Judge: GREY: Judges tend to avoid confrontation, want those around them to be happy, and often do whatever is asked of them regardless of their desire to do so.
The Enneagram can be broken down into different categories based on centers and wings, levels of personal growth, as well as give guidelines of growth (evolution) and stress (strain).
Each center holds the strengths and weaknesses common to three of the nine personality types: 5, 6, and 7 within the mind center; 8, 9, and 1 within the spirit center; and 2, 3, and 4 within the heart center. Each center is governed by an intense emotion, which is a reaction to losing connection with one’s self and spiritual journey: mind by worry, spirit by fury, and heart by guilt.
This is very interesting. I got Richard Rohr's book on the Enneagram earlier this year. They had brown for the 6s, I seem to recall. I could see that then but I can totally see blue now too. I haven't done an Enneagram test in a while. I used to come out as either a 3 or a 4 (quite even score between the two, always) but I'm feeling the 5 more and more now. This is synchronistic since I started a colour therapy course online yesterday as well!
