TOPIC • ENNEAGRAM
My chosen topic is The Enneagram, a personality typology
that helps with discovery, development, awareness, and un-
derstanding of the self.
I’ve always been intrigued by personality typologies, howev-
er the Enneagram speaks to me the most because it does
not box you as a personality type based on traits, but rather
it gives you further explaination of why we developed such
traits, how we may respond to situations, and how we can
improve ourselves to be the best version of ourselves that we
yearn to be.
The Enneagram is a great tool that helps with
• mental health
• spirituality
• religion
• understanding of the self and relationships.
I am a big advocate for mental health awareness, and self
empowerment.
6. The Enneagram of Personality Types is a modern synthesis of a number of ancient wisdom traditions, but the person who
originally put the system together was Oscar Ichazo. Ichazo was born in Bolivia and raised there and in Peru, but as a young
man, moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina to learn from a school of inner work he had encountered. Thereafter, he journeyed in
Asia gathering other knowledge before returning to South America to begin putting together a systematic approach to all he
had learned.
After many years of developing his ideas, he created the Arica School as a vehicle for transmitting the knowledge that he had
received, teaching in Chile in the late 1960’s and early 70’s, before moving to the United States where he resided until his pass-
ing in 2020. In 1970, When Ichazo was still living in South America, a group of Americans, including noted psychologists and
writers Claudio Naranjo and John Lilly, went to Arica, Chile to study with Ichazo and to experience firsthand the methods for
attaining self-realization that he had developed.
To grasp the significance of these diagrams and the relationship between them, we must remember that the system was de-
signed primarily to help elucidate the relationship between Essence and personality, or ego. In Ichazo’s own words: “We have
to distinguish between a man as he is in essence, and as he is in ego or personality. In essence, every person is perfect, fear-
less, and in a loving unity with the entire cosmos; there is no conflict within the person between head, heart, and stomach or
between the person and others. Then something happens: the ego begins to develop, karma accumulates, there is a transition
from objectivity to subjectivity; man falls from essence into personality.” (Interviews with Ichazo, page 9)
Thus, Ichazo saw the Enneagram as a way of examining specifics about the structure of the human soul and particularly about
the ways in which actual soul qualities of Essence become distorted, or contracted into states of ego. In developing his Ennea-
gram theories, he drew upon a recurrent theme in Western mystical and philosophical tradition—the idea of nine divine forms.
This idea was discussed by Plato as the Divine Forms or Platonic Solids, qualities of existence that are essential, that cannot be
broken down into constituent parts. This idea was further developed in the third century of our era by the Neo-Platonic philos-
ophers, particularly Plotinus in his central work, The Enneads.

HISTORY • ENNEAGRAM
7. Ichazo’s brilliant work was in discovering how these Divine Forms and their corresponding distortions connected with the
Enneagram symbol and with the three Centers of human intelligence, Thinking, Feeling, and Instinct. He called the higher,
essential qualities of the human mind, the Holy Ideas, in accordance with western mystical tradition. Each Holy Idea also has
a corresponding Virtue. The Virtues are essential qualities of the heart experienced by human beings when they are abiding
in Essence. As a person loses awareness and presence, falling away from Essence into the trance of the personality, the loss of
awareness of the Holy Idea becomes a person’s Ego-fixation, and the loss of contact with the Virtue causes the person’s char-
acteristic Passion. While everyone has the capacity to embody all of the Holy Ideas and Virtues, one pair of them is central to
the soul’s identity, so the loss if it is felt most acutely, and the person’s ego is most preoccupied with recreating it, although in a
futile, self-defeating way. See the diagram below.
Holy Ideas:
Essential qualities of the human mind
Ego Fixation:
loss of awareness of Holy Ideas
Virtues:
Essentials qualities of the heart based on human experiences when
they’re abiding Essence.
Essence:
Awareness and presence in all human experiences.
Personality:
The loss of Essence
Passion:
Loss of contact with Virtues and it is the Ego’s way of resopnding
Ego tries to recreate the losses (creates an Ego personality, who we
think we are based on external factors) This can range from healthy
to unhealthy.

THEORY • THE ENNEAGRAM
8. The Enneagram is a 3 x 3 arrangement of nine personality types in three Centers. There are three types in the Instinctive Center,
three in the Feeling Center, and three in the Thinking Center, as shown below. Each Center consists of three personality types that
have in common the assets and liabilities of that Center. For example, personality type Four has unique strengths and liabilities
involving its feelings, which is why it is in the Feeling Center. Likewise, the Eight’s assets and liabilities involve its relationship to its
instinctual drives, which is why it is in the Instinctive Center, and so forth for all nine personality types.
SERENA VANG • TYPOGRAPHY II • FUNCTIONAL TYPOGRAPHY • SEPT 29, 2021 8
THE CENTERS • ENNEAGRAM
9. The inclusion of each type in
its Center is not arbitrary. Each
type results from a particu-
lar relationship with a cluster
of issues that characterize that
Center. Most simply, these is-
sues revolve around a power-
ful, largely unconscious emo-
tional response to the loss of
contact with the core of the
self. In the Instinctive Center,
the emotion is Anger or Rage.
In the Feeling Center, the emo-
tion is Shame, and in the Think-
ing Center, it is Fear. Of course,
all nine types contain all three
of these emotions, but in each
Center, the personalities of the
types are particularly affect-
ed by that Center’s emotional
theme.
INSTINCTIVE (GUT)
Concerned with: Justice
Seeking: Autonomy
Underlying Issue: Anger
8 - display
(in hopes of controlling it)
9 - deny
(in hopes of not upsetting any-
one)
1 - repress
(in hopes of achieving perfec-
tion)
FEELING (HEART)
Concerned with: Image
Seeking: Attention
Underlying Issue: Shame
2 - focus feelings outwards
(in hopes of not feeling shame)
3 - deny
(in hopes of resisting shame)
4 - focus feelings inwards
(in hopes of avoiding deeper
shame)
THINKING (HEAD)
Concerned with: Strategies
Seeking: Security
Underlying Issue: Fear
5 - anxious of the outside
world (and thus try to isolate
themselves)
6 - anxious internally
(and thus are always playing
worse-case-scenarios)
7 - deny their anxiousness
(and thus are always keeping
their minds and bodies busy)

THE CENTERS • ENNEAGRAM
10. You might be wondering what all those lines mean on the graph. These inner lines are arrows that point in disintegration
(stress) and integration (growth) for each type. So for example, when a type 1 is stressed, it will display unhealthy character-
istics of a 4. When a type 1 is in growth, it will display healthy characteristics of a 7.
The disintegration sequence: 1-4-2-8-5-7-1 and 9-6-3-9. So to explain this sequence, type 1 disintegrates into type 4, type 4
disintegrates into type 2, and so on.
The integrataion sequence: 1-7-5-8-2-4-1 and 9-3-6-9.

DISINTEGRATION VS INTEGRATION
11. The Holy Ideas represent specific non-dual perspectives of Essence—particular ways of knowing and recognizing the unity of
Being. They are what naturally arises in a clear, quiet mind when a person is present and awake, seeing reality as it actually is.
SERENA VANG • TYPOGRAPHY II • FUNCTIONAL TYPOGRAPHY • SEPT 29, 2021 11
THE HOLY IDEAS • THE ENNEAGRAM
12. The loss of a Holy Idea leads to a particular ego-delusion about the self or reality, called the type’s Ego-fixation. Through the
ego-fixation, the person is trying to restore the balance and freedom of the Holy Idea, but from the dualistic perspective
of ego, cannot. Again, understanding the perspective of our type’s Holy Idea functions as an antidote to the ego-fixation. The
non-dual perspective of our true nature is restored as we see through the particular delusions of our type.
For Example: Type 9
The ego will try to restore balance and freedom, a 9’s holy idea is Holy Love (unconditional love, can only be achieved through
peacemaking since love is full of challenges). The ego will fixate on Idolence (Idleness) because the Ego has a dualistic perspec-
tive due to past experiences. However, a 9 cannot achieve Holy Love if they are Idle in their reality. Peacekeeping ≠ Peacemaking.

EGO FIXATION • THE ENNEAGRAM
13. The Virtues describe the expansive, non-dual qualities of Essence experienced in a direct, felt way by a person abiding in their true
nature. The Virtues are the natural expression of the awakened heart. We do not try to force ourselves to be “virtuous”—rather, as we
relax and become more present and awake, seeing through the fear and desire of the ego self, these qualities naturally manifest
themselves in the human soul.
SERENA VANG • TYPOGRAPHY II • FUNCTIONAL TYPOGRAPHY • SEPT 29, 2021 13
VIRTUES • THE ENNEAGRAM
14. The Passions represent an underlying emotional response to reality created by the loss of contact with our Essential nature,
with the ground of our Being, with our true identity as Spirit or Essence. The underlying hurt, shame, and grief that this loss entails
are enormous, and our ego is compelled to come up with a particular way of emotionally coping with the loss. This temporarily
effective, but ultimately misguided coping strategy is the Passion. But because the Passion is a distortion of an inherent, essential
Virtue, recognizing the Passion can help us to restore the Virtue.
For Example: Type 4
Recognizing the coping strategy of “Envy” would be recognizing why one feels the need to have what others have and where
that mentality come from, thus restoring the virtue Equanimity (mental clarity and composure).

27. “Here is our first table representing the distribution of the enneagram types from 189957 results, which displays an idea of the
distribution within the population.
Note that type 4 is potentially the type that tends to be most naturally interested in introspection. 4s would therefore be more likely
to take this kind of test. So, their population might be slightly fewer in terms of percentage on a real scale.
We can observe that the types are distributed in a fairly balanced way within the population, apart from 1s and 2s, which are a
little less common, and 5s and 8s which are a little rarer.”

as scientifically “valid and reliable” as a test instrument with “solid psychometrics”. The internal consistency reliability scores show
that the RHETI ranges from 56% to 82% accurate on various types; with an overall accuracy of 72%. Since everything above 70%

59. The Enneagram of Personality has been widely promoted in both business management and spirituality
contexts through seminars, conferences, books, magazines, and DVDs. In business contexts it is gener-
ally used as a typology to gain insights into workplace interpersonal dynamics; in spirituality it is more
commonly presented as a path to higher states of being, essence, and enlightenment. Both contexts
say it can aid in self-awareness, self-understanding, and self-development.

FEEDBACK:
• Include Hierarchy and Layering so that there are
distinguished elements for readability.
• Reference off of well-known designers like Michael
Bierut and other design firms
• Stay at a distance from creating illustrations and
logos for fun
• Pairing fonts and how to pair them
PLAN FOR NEXT TIME:
• Play with color choices, color as background
• Add in the rest of graphs and data
• Work on layering/hierarchy

I am conscientious and ethical, and have a strong sense
of right and wrong. I desire integrity and balance. I
fear being wrong, bad, inappropriate, and corruptible.
I struggle with resentment and impatience; I might re-
press my anger, and if I can’t find a way to release my
anger healthily, it leads to continual frustration and dis-
satisfaction in myself, others, and the world. At my best,
I am wise, discerning, realistic, and noble. When I feel
stressed, I become moody and irrational like a type four.
When I feel secured, I become spontaneous and joyful
like a healthy type seven.
I wish to hear: “You are good”
THE INDIVIDUALIST

I am self-aware, sensitive, and reserved. I want to create
and surround myself with beauty and maintain moods
and feelings. I desire to find myself, to be unique, and
express individuality. I fear being inadequate, mun-
dane, flawed, or insignificant in my identity. I struggle
with envy; I tend to feel tragically flawed, as if some-
thing foundational is missing inside of me while oth-
ers possess the qualities that I lack. At my best, I am
inspired and highly creative, I am able to renew myself
and transform my experiences and perspective. When

mercy of injustice. I struggle with lust or excess; I tend
to constantly desire intensity, control, and power that I
may push myself willfully on life and on people in order

THE CENTERS
Head x Heart x Gut
The Enneagram is a 3 x 3 arrangement of nine per-
sonality types in three Centers. There are three types
in the Instinctive Center, three in the Feeling Center,
and three in the Thinking Center. Each Center consists
of three personality types that have in common the
assets and liabilities of that Center. For example, per-
sonality type Four has unique strengths and liabilities
involving its feelings, which is why it is in the Feeling
Center. Likewise, the Eight’s assets and liabilities in-
volve its relationship to its instinctual drives, which is
why it is in the Instinctive Center, and so forth for all
nine personality types.

in disintegration (stress) and integration (growth) for
each type. So for example, when a type 1 is stressed,
it will display unhealthy characteristics of a 4. When a
type 1 is in growth, it will display healthy characteris-
tics of a 7.
The disintegration sequence: 1-4-2-8-5-7-1 and 9-6-3-
9. So to explain this sequence, type 1 disintegrates into
type 4, type 4 disintegrates into type 2, and so on.
The integrataion sequence: 1-7-5-8-2-4-1 and 9-3-6-9.

The Enneagram of Personality has been widely promoted
in both business management and spirituality contexts
through seminars, conferences, books, magazines, and
DVDs. In business contexts it is generally used as a ty-
pology to gain insights into workplace interpersonal dy-
namics; in spirituality it is more commonly presented as
a path to higher states of being, essence, and enlight-
enment. Both contexts say it can aid in self-awareness,
self-understanding, and self-development.
