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:

Sevens Want to Know: Why cannot everyone keep up with me? * EI Secret To Success In The Workplace
Emotional Intelligence - the Secret to Success in the Workplace
Jo Gibney
In many of today's organisations, people are struggling to cope with excessive emotional pressures. They often react to these pressures with bitchiness, aggression, backstabbing, gossipping, complaining and other purely childish behaviours. And many in leadership positions are modeling these very behaviours!
In short, organisations are tearing themselves apart from the inside out. It's time to stop the madness Daniel Goleman, author of the 1995 classic Emotional Intelligence (Bantam Books), says that the best remedy for battling our emotional shortcomings is prevention. It's a strong arguement for introducing emotional intelligence training into all aspects of our workplaces, from leadership to customer service. It's never too late to improve your emotional intelligence.

In a 1994 report on the current state of emotional literacy in the U.S., author Daniel Goleman stated:
"...in navigating our lives, it is our fears and envies, our rages and depressions, our worries and anxieties that steer us day to day. Even the most academically brilliant among us are vulnerable to being undone by unruly emotions. The price we pay for emotional literacy is in failed marriages and troubled families, in stunted social and work lives, in deteriorating physical health and mental anguish and, as a society, in tragedies such as killings..."

Event Fosters Young Entrepreneurs
A group of budding, young entrepreneurs put its business skills to the test Friday at King's Place in downtown Fredericton.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
That was over 12 years ago. I still see the same problems today in many of the organisations I consult to. People struggling to cope with the emotional pressures of today's workplace often resort to bitchiness, aggression, backstabbing, gossipping, complaining and other purely childish behaviours. And many in leadership positions are modeling these very behaviours! In short, organisations are tearing themselves apart from the inside out.
Time to Stop the Madness
Goleman says that the best remedy for battling our emotional shortcomings is prevention. In other words, we need to place as much importance on teaching our children the essential skills of Emotional Intelligence as we do on more traditional measures like IQ and school exams. And while were at it, why not teach each other these vital life skills? It's never too late to improve your own emotional intelligence.
What is Emotional Intelligence (commonly known as EQ)?
The term includes these five characteristics and abilities:
1. Self-awareness--knowing your emotions, recognizing feelings as they occur, and discriminating between them
2. Mood management--handling feelings so they're relevant to the current situation and you react appropriately
3. Self-motivation--"gathering up" your feelings and directing yourself towards a goal, despite self doubt, inertia, and impulsiveness
4. Empathy--recognizing feelings in others and accurately recognising and tuning into their verbal and nonverbal cues
5. Managing relationships--handling interpersonal interaction, conflict resolution, and negotiations
Why Do We Need Emotional Intelligence?
Research in brain-based learning suggests that emotional health is fundamental to effective learning. According to a report from the National Centre for Clinical Infant Programs, the most critical element for a student's success in school is an understanding of how to learn. (Emotional Intelligence, p. 193.) The key ingredients for this understanding are:
* Confidence
* Curiosity
* Intentionality
* Self-control
* Relatedness
* Capacity to communicate
* Ability to cooperate
These traits are all aspects of Emotional Intelligence. Basically, a student who learns to learn is much more apt to succeed. Emotional Intelligence has proven a better predictor of future success than traditional methods like the GPA, IQ, and standardized test scores.
The Benefits of Emotional Intelligence
Building Emotional Intelligence has a lifelong impact. Many parents and educators, alarmed by increasing levels of conflict in young children - from low self-esteem to early drug and alcohol use to depression, are rushing to teach students the skills necessary for Emotional Intelligence. And in corporations, the inclusion of Emotional Intelligence in training programs has helped employees cooperate better and motivate themselves and each other more, thereby increasing productivity and profits.
"Emotional Intelligence is a master aptitude, a capacity that profoundly affects all other abilities, either facilitating or interfering with them."--Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence, p. 80.

The Red Trangle in the above image points to the ASSERTIVE TEMPERAMENTS which move against their feelings. They are:
Temperament 3 – The members of this Temperament are aggressive against ANY feelings that may interfere with achievement or success. Feelings are put on hold while the task is accomplished. The problem is that they are rarely dealt with because there's always another task and another reason to not deal with them. Feelings simply get in the way and are unimportant to the goal. Image is preferred over feeling (in other words, they knows what feelings should look like and may even portray behavior that mimics appropriate feelings, but may not genuinely experience the feelings themselves). We call members of this Temperament - Achiever – Performers. 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.
Temperament 7 – The members of this Temperament are aggressive against NEGATIVE feelings. There's a constant effort to buoy life to the positive and pleasurable. An attitude of entitlement to the good things in life can sometimes be perceived. Reframing or putting a positive spin on life is a way of keeping any bad feelings from surfacing. Thinking is preferred over feeling. We call members of this Temperament - Visionary – Optimists. Temperament Seven examples are: Robin Williams, Steve Jobs, Tom Hanks, Anthony Quinn, and Terry Bradshaw. These people want to enjoy life and experience all its possibilities. They value joy and variety. They envision making the world a more delightful place to live.
Temperament 8 – The members of this Temperament are aggressive against exposing SOFT feelings. Feelings leave them with a sense of vulnerability. The soft underbelly is left exposed for people to take advantage of which goes against the desire to be strong. Feelings can aggressively be denied to the point of not even being noticed, in the self as well as in others. Doing is preferred over feeling. We call members of this Temperament - Challenger – Protectors. Temperament Eight examples are: Martin Luther King, Jr., FDR, Sean Connery, Donald Trump, and John Wayne. These people want to live life fully and freely. They are attracted to, appreciate, and effectively use power. They envision using their strength to influence others and bring about a more just world where power and resources are equitably distributed.

Temperament Two examples are: Bill Cosby, Alan Alda, Nancy Reagan, Dolly Parton, and Pat Boone. These people want to know they are loving. They want to nurture others and foster relationships. They value and are attracted to love. They envision making the world a more loving place to live.

Temperament Seven examples are: Robin Williams, Steve Jobs, Tom Hanks, Anthony Quinn, and Terry Bradshaw. These people want to enjoy life and experience all its possibilities. They value joy and variety. They envision making the world a more delightful place to live.
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.

Why do we use numbers?
Sevens are the:. Visionary, Epicure, Entertainer, Optimist, Adventurer, Rationalizer, Optionist. We use numbers rather than these 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.
