Survival Instincts

Enneagram 9 1:1

Union, The Seeker
This subtype derives a great deal of their persona from their current surroundings. They go through many distinct and varied phases in their life as they embed themselves into new circumstances.
When alone, they are driven by listlessness, and they form close attachments to other people and things in order to feel ‘whole’. They dedicate themselves deeply, but when they move on, they distance themselves completely from their past; usually replacing the old with something new.
 
The phases of The Seeker’s life may be underpinned by an enduring disassociation with their sense of self since they, unintentionally, take on the thoughts and feelings of others rather than developing their own.

Enneagram 9 Social

Participation, The Community Benefactor
The Community Benefactor is a social butterfly. They might be described as ‘fun loving’. They’re easy to communicate with and can adapt well to almost any situation.
 
In more serious times, this subtype might become uncomfortable. They want to help others, but mostly know how to form connections through light, casual interaction. As a result their underlying emotional state can sometimes go un-cared-for and they might have emotional blocks when faced with difficult decisions.

Enneagram 9 Self Preservation

Appetite, The Collector
This subtype is excellent at building a safe-haven, and can organise their life into a manageable and realistic routine.
What they call ‘home comforts’, their friends might lovingly call ‘stuck in a rut’. The Collector relies heavily on things which enhance their feelings of safety, including habitual eating and repetitive activities.
 
They might shy away from reaching new heights in their career, or making big life changes because they’re comfortable where they are.

Enneagram 8 1:1

Possession, The Commander
The Commander isn’t afraid to raise their voice, and advocate for themselves. Their outspoken nature is magnetic, and gives rise to close, intense relationships from which The Commander draws a great deal of power.
 
Often caught up in ‘whirlwind’ affairs, what they may intend as passionate and protective tendencies can tumble into overbearing possessiveness

Enneagram 8 Social

Friendship, The Group Leader
This subtype might seem boisterous and aggressive to those outside their circle of friends, but within the group they are a respected and trusted leader. Those around them value them for their fearlessness in the face of conflict, and their confidence to follow through on promises.
 
Their main priority is to look out for their team. This makes them a strong leader, but one who may ignore personal prospects like a new job, or a romantic relationship, if it threatens the integrity of the group.

Satisfactory Survival, The Survivalist
Practicality and efficiency are the cornerstones of this subtype’s mindset and they use these attributes to fiercely defend their turf. They fully understand the steps required for any task they engage with, and they expect others to do the same.
 
The Survivalist can begin to panic if things aren’t falling into place quickly enough, and they will be bluntly straightforward in making things move faster.
