The Enneagram: A Christian Perspective
by Richard Rohr & Andreas Ebert

'The Enneagram: A Christian perspective' is exactly that! It's a very helpful explanation of the Enneagram system from a Christian viewpoint. It doesn't have the useful questionnaires that some of the other books do, but it has helpful descriptions of each of the nine types, particularly from the viewpoint of likely churchmanship, preferred styles of prayer and worship, and so on, as well as more general descriptions.

A little heavy in places, and it would be hard to follow if someone knew nothing about the Enneagram in advance, but recommended for anyone wanting to reconcile this fascinating personality system with Christian belief.

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:

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.
