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:

While Isabella Rolla plans on taking Business Management 1000 at the University of Pennsylvania 's Wharton School of Business this fall, she has already taken a real-life version of the course.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because of its commonness, hardly any of us places any significance in the feeling called boredom, which sets in as silently as it comes. As such, each one of us has developed our own way of dealing with it. The only aspect most of us consider in facing boredom is how to while the time away, and using smoking as a crutch to get the time to pass by swifter is definitely not a good idea.
However, in spite of the commonness of boredom, it is touted as among the symptoms of clinical depression, especially when the person concerned is highly prone to it. People who rank low on the boredom proneness scale, on the other hand, are certified to perform much better in diverse areas in their lives. It has been noted that boredom is a state of “learned helplessness,” an aspect closely associated with depression.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liable to occur at any given time and at any given situation, overcoming boredom implies having to kick it out of our minds via activities that would either help address the root of the problem (if boredom is characterized as the dull rut some of us experience when we are trapped in dead end jobs/situations) or simply help us pass the time. Hence, there would always be a way to use boredom to our advantage. How? Read on to find out.
Unearth our creative juices.
Boredom means time used unproductively because we are devoid of enthusiasm or interest. So why not make the most out of it by firing up our imagination to start conceptualizing creative ideas? We are free to think of anything as creatively and wildly as we please. Who knows? Maybe in the process of imagining, we can come up with the best lucrative ideas we can really make use of in the not-so-distant future. Chat with other bored people close to us. Engaging in a casual conversation with that bored guy/gal sitting right next to us on the bus does not only help pass the time, but it could also help open doors to forming serious friendships. Let us get physical. If we are bored from having to face the computer day in and day out or doing the same routinary task repeatedly, maybe it would do us a lot of good to get some energizing physical workout. We can try going out on a walk or doing some dance moves to help liven up our physical system. Chronicle our deepest innermost thoughts and feelings. What better way to analyze the reason behind our boredom than to write it down on a journal during the exact times when we are going through its motions. Become more observant of our environment. The hustle and bustle of life can make us overlook those tiny details that make it interesting, beautiful, or weird. When bored, we can try becoming more observant of what is transpiring around us. We should pay particular attention to the people and the events per se, and allow ourselves to become curious. Indulge in a lucrative hobby. Whether we are painting, knitting, writing poetry, or analyzing the behavior patterns of crawling lizards on the ceiling; engaging in a worthwhile hobby that hones our innate talents and thinking skills is indeed a very good way of making use of all that idle time in our hands.

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.
