To print a copy of an Free Enneagram ebook
The study of the Nine Temperaments is called the Enneagram and is described in the free ebook listed above. The Enneagram types (Temperaments) are not made up of lists of character traits, but are founded in a person's core values. Each Temperament represents what that person considers something very important to their life such as power, security, harmony, knowledge, fulfillment, i.e.
Your Temperament enables you to make a valuable contributions to your life; but it also causes you to neglect other values, creating a psychological ‘blind spot” for you.
This is why, if you:
“KEEP DOING WHAT YOU BEEN DOING, YOU WILL CONTINUE TO GET WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN GETTING.”

The Yellow Trangle in the above image points to the WITHDRAWN TEMPERAMENTS which move away from doing. They are:
Temperament 4– The members of this Temperament are withdrawing from doing the ordinary. The drive is to express their individual uniqueness by doing what they feel instead of what's required. There is also an avoidance of doing because it may reveal their inadequacies and defective self and thus contradict the special self-image that they may have created. The preference is for feeling instead of doing. We call members of this Temperament - Authentic – Originals.
Temperament Four examples are: Michael Jackson, Johnny Depp, Nicolas Cage, Neil Diamond, and Angelina Jolie. These people want to be unique individuals with lots of originality. They enjoy putting their personal touch on everything in which they are involved. They also value beauty and want to make the world a more beautiful place to live.
Temperament 5 – The members of this Temperament are withdrawing from doing or involvement in activities. It's a movement away from being too overwhelmed by the world, some time to process experience through thinking, and not being ready to play the game until it's understood intellectually. It's not that type five cannot be involved, it's just that there needs to be clear boundaries and an escape route should the experience become too overwhelming. The preference is for thinking instead of doing. We call members of this Temperament - Thinker – Investigators. Temperament Five examples are: Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Howard Hughes, George Lucas, and Karl Marx. These people long for wisdom, understanding, knowledge, truth. They want to make the world a more enlightened place by discovering what is real and true and making it more intelligible to others.
Temperament 9 – The members of this Temperament are withdrawing from doing for the self and sometimes stubbornly resistant against doing what others demand. There is confusion about one's own agenda and priorities. Doing is a tendency to go along with others' agenda. Yet, this member often has never really decided to go along, it's just a matter of going along until they figure out what they want or simply to keep the peace because they have no strong personal agenda anyway. The preference is for being instead of doing (in other words, doing without any purpose or goal). We call members of this Temperament - Peacemaker – Observers. Temperament Nine examples are: Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln, Jimmy Stewart, Carl Jung, and Dwight Eisenhower. These people want to feel at one with others and at home in the universe. They value peace, harmony, and unity. They envision making the world a more harmonious, ecumenical, and comfortable place to live for everyone.

Five's Believes: I don't need much, but I need my space * 1, 3, And 5 - The Competency Temperaments
135
1, 3, and 5 - The Competency Temperaments Types...........................These Temperament Types have learned to deal with conflict and problems by putting aside their personal feelings and striving to be objective, effective and competent. They put their needs and feelings on the back burner and expect others to do the same. They try to solve conflicts and problems by logic and competency. These types are not sure how much they want to give themselves over to the values of the system.
For example:
Temperament Type 1 operate inside the rules. They follow them so well that no one would dare question their integrity.
Temperament Type 3 operates outside of the rules. They focus on their needs.
Temperament Type 5 wants to operate both inside the rules and outside the rules at the same time. They want the benefit of the rules and structures while not having the restrictions.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Temperament Type 5
This Temperament Type rejects the system and wants to work on their own system. They have little patience with rules or procedures. They do this by splitting off and abstracting feelings. They stay preoccupied and cerebral as if their feelings were happening to someone else. They want the world to see them as an expert and having a lot of information. They focus on the process, objective facts and maintaining clarity and detachment.
Temperament One examples are: Hillary Clinton, Tom Brokaw, Martha Stewart, Al Gore, and Tony Randall. These people want to be good. They have high ideals and value and are attracted to situations where those ideals are met. They want to realize all their potential and help others actualize theirs. They envision making the world a better place to live.
Temperament Three examples are: Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise, Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, and Bill Clinton. These people are attracted to and value productivity, industry, and competence. They envision making the world more productive, organized, efficient, and smooth running. They see the universe as chaos and want to really make it a cosmos, a harmonious and orderly system.

Why do we use numbers?
Names such as: Fives are the: Observer, Investigator, Thinker, Philosopher or Guru are commonly used to decribed the Temperaments Types. We use numbers instead of any names.
We use numbers to designate each of the Temperament Types because numbers are value neutral. They imply the whole range of attitudes and behaviors of each Temperament without specifying anything either positive or negative.
The numerical ranking of the Types is not significant. A larger number is no better than a smaller number.
No Temperament Type is inherently better or worse than any other. While all the Temperament Types have unique assets and liabilities, some Types are often more desirable than others in our society.
You may not be happy with your particular Type. You may feel that your Type is “limited" in some way. As you learn more about all the Types, you will see that just as each has unique capacities, each has different “limits.”
People do not change from one basic Temperament Type to another. Some Types are more valued in our society than others; it is because of the qualities that society rewards, not because of any superior value of those Types.
The descriptions of the Temperament Types apply equally to males and females, since no Type is inherently masculine or feminine. Not everything in the description of your basic Type will apply to you all the time because you fluctuate constantly.
