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:

Listening to Boredom
Grace L. Judson

In my work with clients, I've come to see boredom as an important signpost. Obviously, boredom has something to say about your feelings about what you're doing, but there's often something more going on. Boredom can teach you a lot about yourself and about your life - where you are, and where you want to go. But like any teacher, it can only teach you if you're paying attention.
A sense of boredom is often a sign of overwhelm

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Huh? A sign of overwhelm? How can that be?
When you're overwhelmed, your mind starts looking for an escape. You want to be doing something different. But you know you can't - you've got All That Stuff To DO. Yet your feeling of wanting to do something (anything!) different from what you're doing right now feels a lot like boredom.
So if you've ever been in the midst of tremendous busy-ness, dealing with crises, facing challenging deadlines, and had a sudden thought, "Wow, I'm really bored right now" - that's what's going on. If this doesn't sound familiar, I'll bet that you have felt it, but that your disbelief (how could I possibly be bored in the middle of being so incredibly busy?!?) overwhelmed the feeling and pushed away your ability to recognize it.
Boredom can warn you of stress and burnout
When your mind starts to reel under the weight of stress and when your stress levels rise enough to push you towards burnout, you may find yourself feeling a great sense of boredom and inertia. Your inner self, that part of you that knows things before you consciously understand them, is looking for a way out, seeking relief from the stress. Down deep, you're just over feeling so pressured. You''e ready for a break, for an alternative to the adrenaline and worry and stress. You're ready for a rest. And that sense of exhaustion, of being done, comes through to you as boredom.
Ironically, this may lead you to doing more instead of less. When you feel bored, even if it's due to stress and burnout, the typical reaction is to find something else to do, instead of taking the rest you so badly need.
Long-term boredom is a signal that you need change
I'm not talking about the casual, in-the-moment boredom you feel when you're standing in line at the grocery store or sitting in a traffic jam. (Of course, those might signal a need for change as well - more checkout clerks and fewer cars!)
This is more like the Creeping Crud. It's a slowly-growing sense of dissatisfaction, disinterest, disconnectedness. You may not even realize how you're feeling, or you may attribute it to other causes or unrelated situations. Possibly you're convinced that being bored means you're somehow wrong (like my friend whose mother taught him it wasn't intelligent to be bored). Or you may simply not be ready for the changes required.
Many of my clients find ways to explain away this feeling of being bored. One young woman believed her boredom stemmed from an uninteresting social life. She pushed herself to go out, go clubbing, be the life of the party. In fact, she doesn't much like partying, and much prefers small, quiet, more personal social events. Her job was the problem. Fast-paced and high-stress, she couldn't believe it was boring her, but it wasn't holding her interest at the level of personal meaning and core values - and it was overwhelming her. A career change was intriguing, terrifying, and exciting. She's certainly not bored, and she's working now on something that has great personal meaning. And it's had the side benefit of a new social circle sharing her values and interests.
What is your boredom telling you?
Do you need to find a better-staffed supermarket and a less-crowded route to work, or are you, like my client, seeking more personal value and meaning in your life? I challenge you to seek out your boredom and find out what's underneath it; you may be surprised. And let me know what bores you!
"The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity." Dorothy Parker, writer, poet, humorist, and critic, 1893 - 1967

The overall orientation of Sandra Maitri group will be the shifting over time of one's identity and sense of self from the personality or ego to our deeper and ultimate nature — Being; and just as importantly, the integration of this experiential knowledge such that one's everyday life becomes a lived and fulfilling expression of that deeper nature. The confluence in recent decades of the streams of psychological and spiritual wisdom afford a wide range of unprecedented avenues of access to spiritual development. This confluence will be an important part of the orientation of this group.
Did you know?
The Power of Nine is your Key to Happiness and Joy.
There are nine Temperaments. Fifty percent (50%) of your happiness is determined by your Temperament.
Understanding your Temperament Type allows you to work with it and increase your own happiness. The ways individual people inherently view the world/themselves and process information are not the same but do tend to group in different clumps.
Pick the person about that you admire, like and think you are like and click on that number below and listen to the Video.
One way to view this distribution is as nine basic Temperaments Types. They all need different experiences to be really happy.
What do they really want?
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 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 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.
Would You Like Help to Determine your Temperament?
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 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 Six examples are: Helen Palmer, Michael Moore, Tom Hanks, Rush Limbaugh, Richard Nixon, and Mel Gibson. These people want to make the world a safer, more secure, more reliable, more trustworthy place to live and they will question anyone’s authority in their effort to do so. They value loyalty in themselves and others and stand by their commitments.
Would You Like Help to Determine your Temperament?
Temperament Seven examples are: Robin Williams, Steve Jobs, Tom Hanks, Anthony Quinn, Richard Branson 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 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 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 aren’t all people with a given Temperament Type successful?
You probably know a bunch of people with the same Temperament Type. Why are some successful and others are not. Why the difference? The difference is Emotional Intelligence. We use Emotional Quotient. (EQ) as a shorthand to describe Emotional Intelligence.
A person may have a high IQ. They did well in school, maybe have a college diploma or even an advanced degree. They may even be in MENSA, the select high-IQ club and still fail in business and relationships. Why are they not successful?
The answer:
Your IQ determines 20 % of your success, which leaves 80% to other forces. This is stated by Daniel Goleman the Author of “Emotional Intelligence.”
A person with a high IQ does not mean they know how to manage their thoughts and feelings any more successfully than a person with a low IQ. Success requires taking the emotional data, making sense of that data, and integrating it into your decision-making. People with higher EQ does this better.
By increasing your EQ you can use your thoughts and emotions of your Temperament Type to make the best possible decisions. Increased EQ help you get optimal results from your relationships with yourself and others.
EQ challenges the conventional belief that emotions are in the way of good decisions. By increasing your EQ it is possible to learn how to use your emotions to make better decisions. By increasing your EQ, it is possible to increase your wisdom and energy required for high performance. The Increasing your EQ is a teachable life skill. If people get better at these life skills, everyone benefits: The brain doesn't distinguish between being a more empathetic manager and a more empathetic father
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.
