54. “Good artists copy;
Great artists steal.”
Pablo Picasso

55. Jean Adeler
Originated the idea of a “-2 binary”
In her discussion of the “Eight-
One Binary” in an excellent
article on The Deep Structure
of Personality in Sept. 2010
edition of Enneagram Monthly

56. “-2 BINARY”
This line of reasoning can be
applied to the “-2 wing” of
any type. There is a natural
tension between these two
positions on the Enneagram.

57. “-2 BINARY”
This is obvious for Type Eight
whose worldview includes the
notion that “Might makes right” &
“Only the Strong will Survive”,
which is in direct opposition to
Type One’s view that “Ethics,
rules, & fairness dictate what is
right or wrong.”

58. “-2 BINARY”
At the “-2 BINARY”, we clearly
move out of our comfort zone,
which is absolutely necessary to
strengthen and expand our
character and grow
psychologically & spiritually

59. STEP OUT OF YOUR
COMFORT ZONE

60. “If we're growing, we're always going to
be out of our comfort zone.”
-John Maxwell

63. The diagonals in black create an “Enneagram Star”, which are also
the three Horneyvian Groups. The three Harmonics Groups are also
revealed on the cross-diagonals. Combined with the three Object
Relations Triad, these nine groups form the total structural and
theoretical backbone of the Enneagram

65. COLOR IS POPPING UP
EVERYWHERE!

66. LOGICALLY, EACH TYPE SHOULD BE A
MERGER OF ITS WING COLORS?

67. LOGICALLY, ALL THE COLORS OF THE
RAINBOW SHOULD BE INCLUDED

68. ROY G. BIV
ROY G BIV is the mnemonic
that we learn in grade school
physics to describe the order
of the colors of the rainbow
from the longest wavelength
(Red) to the shortest
wavelength (Violet).

69. ROY G. BIV
Enneagram Personality Types CAN all be
related to the wavelengths in a rainbow: Red,
Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and
Violet. (ROY G BIV). You see that 7 of the 9
Enneagram Types quickly fall into place:
Type 8 (Red), Type 7 (Orange), Type 6
(Yellow), Type 5 (Green), Type 4 (Blue), Type
3 (Purple/Indigo), Type 2 (Violet) easily fall
into place using this logic.

70. ROY G. BIV
The last two Enneagram Personality
Types were easily derived With Type
1 being assigned White, the color
associated with purity, morality &
cleanliness and Type 9 being
assigned Pink, which is derived by
blending white and red colors.

71. Each Enneagram Type Color blends with
its neighboring wings in a logical fashion
ONE: WHITE/SILVER
TWO: LAVENDER
THREE: PURPLE
FOUR: BLUE
FIVE: GREEN
SIX: YELLOW/GOLD
SEVEN: ORANGE
EIGHT: RED
NINE: PINK

72. “IF YOU WANT TO TELL PEOPLE THE TRUTH, MAKE
THEM LAUGH, OTHERWISE THEY’LL KILL YOU.”
-- OSCAR WILDE (1854 - 1900)

73. “I invent nothing, I rediscover.”
Auguste Rodin

74. “Art is either plagiarism
or revolution.”
-Paul Gauguin

75. HAVE WE CAPTURED ALL
THE MOVEMENTS IN THE
ENNEAGRAM?
The greatest obstacle to discovery is
not ignorance –
it is the illusion of knowledge.
-Daniel J. Boorstin
