Description
Enneagram 1-9
chaos is zero null & void is zero random noise, static on a television
The Enneagram describes nine interconnected personality types, each with core traits, stress (disintegration) points where they adopt unhealthy behaviors from another type, and bliss/growth (integration) points where they access healthier traits from yet another type. "Saints" refer to each type's holy virtue or ideal state, while "daemons" align with their core vice/passion or shadow under stress. Here's a fair breakdown across all types.
Core Traits
Each type has a basic role, fear, desire, vice (daemon), and virtue (saint). [link removed]
