It is essential to remember that there is no “good” or “bad” profile. This journey of discovery is designed to support you in better understanding your behaviors, your deepest motivations, and the recurring patterns that shape your life. As you explore what follows, you will become aware that, from birth, we are conditioned and programmed by suggestions that govern and define our being. Suggestion forms the foundation of hypnosis and NLP; your decision to take this test shows that you have already sensed the need to deprogram yourself and to move beyond your hypnotic trance state.

​​

By acknowledging these aspects of yourself, you will have the opportunity to better understand your reactions to challenging situations, while paving the way for a more harmonious personal development. This will enable you to transform your vulnerabilities into catalysts for growth and to evolve into a more fulfilled version of yourself. Before going further, you will discover what the Enneagram is and how our personality is structured around certain mechanisms. I wish you a wonderful journey of self-discovery.

​

The Enneagram is a tool for understanding
thought patterns and behaviors.
It is a personality classification system
that identifies nine profiles,
represented by the numbers 1 through 9

 

Each of these profiles corresponds to a set
of dominant character traits, deep motivations,
and behavioral patterns.
Your profile determines your map of the world.
But remember: the map is not the territory.

 

By understanding your profile, this tool provides you
a valuable framework to explore the internal dynamics
that influence your actions and your way
of perceiving the world, fostering a better
understanding of yourself… and others.

 

Your profile is determined from conception by epigenetic factors that condition you for the rest of your life.
From birth, you are influenced by external elements, such as the environment, parental upbringing, lived experiences, religion, learning, and challenges encountered. But these influences are not limited to what you consciously perceive. Deep biological processes lie at the heart of how your environment shapes the expression of your genes.

 

Epigenetics is the study of the mechanisms by which genes can be turned on or off without altering the DNA sequence, in response to environmental, behavioral, or emotional factors.

These changes can be inherited from one generation to the next. In other words, certain traumas, emotional wounds, or learned behaviors from your parents — or even your ancestors — can become biologically embedded in your makeup, just like the genes themselves.

 

An experiment on the intergenerational transmission of fear was conducted in mice. In this study, adult mice were exposed to an odor associated with a predator—such as that of a cat—which triggered a natural fear response in them. The descendants of these mice, despite never having been directly exposed to this odor, displayed fear behaviors when later presented with the same scent. These findings suggest that fear-related emotions can be passed down to the next generation.

 

This demonstrates that emotional experiences such as fear can be passed down from one generation to the next through mechanisms that influence the behavior and emotional responses of offspring, even without direct exposure to the same stimuli. It confirms that your ancestors bequeath to you part of their genetic heritage, along with emotional responses that shape your development long before your birth.
This emotional inheritance plays a key role in your development.

 

HOW DO WE INHERIT THESE MECHANISMS

​

Our genetic heritage consists of two alleles per gene, with 50 % inherited from each of our parents.
This means that for each gene, we receive one allele from the father and one allele from the mother, forming a pair of alleles. Each parent has two possible alleles for a given gene but transmits only one of these alleles to the child. Consequently, we have a one-in-two chance from the father’s side and a one-in-two chance from the mother’s side of inheriting a specific allele.

 

If one of the father’s alleles is modified by a genetic factor, we have a one-in-two chance of inheriting it.
The same goes for the mother’s side. Thus, if both parents each carry a modified allele, the probability of the child inheriting both modified alleles is 25 %. This means we have a one-in-four chance of inheriting the modified genetic factor from both parents. This principle also applies to epigenetic transmission, which influences gene expression without altering the DNA sequence.

 

FORMATION OF YOUR THOUGHT PATTERN

 

To understand how this works, imagine two six-year-old children, monozygotic twins from the same egg, often referred to as “true” twins. They are often described as being like clones: perfect copies of each other, sometimes reversed as if by a mirror reflection. It is even said that if one is injured, the other can feel the pain, even over great distances. This unique connection continues to intrigue science, as it illustrates the power of the link between biology, cellular memory, and emotional perception.

 

Although they share a strong resemblance, identical genetic heritage, and a common upbringing, twins can develop different personalities due to epigenetic factors. Their personality is shaped not only by external environmental influences but also by their internal states, known as mindsets.
This epigenetic dimension means that twins with the same DNA can express certain genes differently, depending on their life experiences, surroundings, or even those of their ancestors.

 

To understand, imagine these twins waking one morning, ready to go to the beach with their mother.
The first twin wakes up full of energy, excited at the idea of spending a fun day at the beach.
His brother, meanwhile, feels a bit unwell—with a stuffy nose and still tired. Although he would have preferred to stay in bed, he decides, to please his mother, to get up and join them.
We can therefore consider that these two brothers do not share the same mindset at that precise moment.

 

Arriving at the beach, they watch the sea. A huge wave crashes over them and thrashes them about.
The healthy twin experiences this as an exciting adventure. For him, it’s a game, and he doesn’t hesitate to jump into the next wave because he’s having fun. His brother perceives the same experience as a traumatic ordeal. His only reaction is to cry in his mother’s arms, frightened by what just happened.
This difference in perception of a similar experience could be influenced by epigenetic factors.

 

Indeed, sensitivity to fear or trauma can sometimes be linked to emotional experiences lived and passed down by past generations. A trauma experienced by an ancestor—such as a water-related danger—could be transmitted from one generation to the next and reactivate that fear in one of the twins, who has inherited one or both of his parents’ alleles, while the other remains unaffected, lacking that information in his genetic inheritance.
Thirty years later, the two brothers must take the ferry across rough seas.

 

The first recalls the beach with enthusiasm, while the second feels fear when remembering that day.
Their reactions, rooted in thought patterns formed during childhood, continue to influence their behavior in adulthood. This divergence reflects a different expression of epigenetic factors that condition their emotional response. Thus, these emotional patterns can persist beyond individual experiences, traverse generations, and unconsciously shape behavior.

 

The Enneagram helps you understand how these thought patterns develop and influence emotions and behaviors throughout life. For example, if one of the twins is a Type 7, they will constantly seek adventure and excitement. If the other is a Type 6, they will always anticipate danger and strive to protect themselves.
The impact of epigenetics can also explain why one of the twins develops a stronger propensity for fear— inherited from prior traumas—even though they grew up in a similar environment.

 

When our senses are stimulated by our environment, the brain activates to process the information received.
It scans its memory for a similar experience that might resonate with the present situation.
This resonance with a memory generates an emotion. The emotion thus evoked acts as a defense mechanism, preparing the person to respond to the stimulus.
It triggers an automatic response, allowing one to manage stress or potential danger.

 

UNDERSTANDING HOW YOUR PERSONALITY WAS FORMED

​

Your personality can develop in an environment where freedom, enthusiasm, and stimulation are highly valued. From childhood, you may have been encouraged to seek new experiences, to look for exciting opportunities. Sometimes, this educational framework emphasizes adventure rather than deep reflection or managing constraints, which can lead your profile to become more scattered, developing a constant need for novelty and a tendency to avoid boredom and routine.

 

When familial affection seems to depend on the ability to seek new experiences or stay busy, the need for stimulation and distraction is strengthened. This can then translate into a tendency to minimize the importance of responsibilities, where the individual seeks reassurance by accumulating pleasures and diversifying their activities. This dynamic can sometimes move them away from their well-being, encouraging them to prioritize excitement over reflection, which can intensify a sense of superficiality.

 

You develop traits oriented towards your ability to explore while having fun. You learn to seek exciting opportunities and focus on immediate pleasures to feel fulfilled.

Even in the absence of a solid structure or constant stability, you develop traits centered on seeking optimism and escaping constraints. You are driven to preserve your freedom, seeking to fill your need for stimulation by staying close to dynamic people.​

​

Search for Stimulation:

​

• You tend to seek stimulating experiences and a sense of validation through your ability to seize opportunities. You are highly sensitive to novelty and the excitement of ideas, seeking to stand out through your enthusiasm and curiosity. Your need to explore and understand the world pushes you to accumulate varied experiences, preferring action and adventure over introspection or reflection. Sometimes, you may feel the need to escape the constraints of commitments..

​​

​Requirement for Freedom:

​

• You can be very demanding of yourself and others when you feel that your options are limited or your freedom is restricted. You judge your own value by your ability to seize opportunities and avoid boredom, and may feel intense frustration when you perceive obstacles or restrictive behaviors in your environment.         This dynamic may drive you to constantly seek new experiences or distractions to escape any sense of confinement.​

 

Need for Positive Engagement:

​

• You are guided by a strong desire to find relationships and activities that nourish your enthusiasm and joy. You seek to be recognized for your ability to bring lightness and joy, not just for your productivity or seriousness. Convinced that your value lies in your ability to remain positive and inspire others, you often prefer to engage in relationships and projects that are full of exciting possibilities and energy, rather than in routine interactions or meaningless endeavors.

 

PROFILE 7 IN INTEGRATION TOWARDS TYPE 5

 

When integrated, you tend to develop the positive aspects of your personality. This translates into a greater ability to focus, deepen your knowledge, and adopt a more serene approach to the challenges and uncertainties of life. You learn to detach from immediacy and the need for constant stimulation to cultivate a deeper understanding. By developing a deeper trust in yourself, you find balance, becoming more open to meaningful experiences.

​

Affirmation and Confidence in the Future

​

• In integration, you learn to trust your ability to focus and act with assurance in a calmer, more thoughtful environment.                                                                                                                                          You develop greater inner stability, replacing agitation and anxiety with a sense of clarity and depth. This integration allows you to free yourself from the fear of lack and uncertainty and to become actively involved in your environment, with renewed confidence in your ability to deepen your projects.

 

Liberation from the Fear of Discomfort

​

• In integration, you learn to detach from your tendency to flee discomfort and to constantly seek distractions. You realize that your true strength lies in your ability to explore the world, but also in your capacity to face moments of solitude and introspection. By integrating this new perspective, you will find a balance between your desire for stimulation and your ability to appreciate moments of calm, without feeling limited by the fear of boredom or emptiness.

 

Balance Between Freedom and Responsibility

 

• Integration teaches you not to be overwhelmed by the constant search for pleasure and adventure. You discover that you can combine your need for freedom with greater responsibility in your projects and relationships. This ability to blend excitement and stability allows you to channel your energy more constructively, finding a balance between exploration and commitment, to live enriching and lasting experiences.

 

PROFILE 7 IN DISINTEGRATION TOWARDS TYPE 1

 

During disintegration, you begin to display the less constructive facets of your personality. You feel compelled to amass distractions and chase ever‑stronger stimulation, fixating only on immediate gratification. You may flee from your own emotions, throwing yourself into new opportunities and thrilling activities in hopes of feeling accepted and secure. This relentless pursuit of novelty causes you to neglect your deeper emotional needs—and over time, it can leave you feeling hollow, disconnected, and even more unsettled within.

 

Mental Dispersal and Fleeing from Discomfort:

 

• During disintegration, you begin to exhibit the less constructive sides of your personality. This manifests as an urge to escape reality, causing you to shirk responsibilities and withdraw from emotional commitments. You become fixated on fleeting pleasures and instant gratification, at the expense of your deeper needs. Your craving for inner security gives way to an unrelenting pursuit of stimulation, as you attempt to fill an inner void. Over time, this restless behavior only deepens your sense of emptiness and heightens your disconnection from your true self.

 

Accumulation of Achievements and Lack of Depth:

 

• During disintegration, you become overly fixated on external achievements and the pursuit of validation, all while neglecting your own emotional needs. You may feel an inner emptiness and attempt to fill it by accumulating successes, yet never find lasting satisfaction. This relentless chase for approval scatters your focus—seeking attention and recognition—while you continually avoid confronting your deeper feelings and true desires. Over time, this pattern erodes your sense of authenticity and leaves you feeling fragmented, exhausted, and disconnected from yourself.

 

Avoidance of Authentic Commitment and Search for Validation:

 

• During disintegration, you lose the capacity to invest in genuine, thoughtful commitments. Rather than confronting your fears or nurturing authentic relationships, you may resort to avoidance—pouring your energy into chasing recognition and success in order to feel valued. You might rationalize your restlessness by diving into new projects or grasping at chances to impress others, yet each victory only deepens your sense of emptiness and superficiality. Ultimately, this cycle keeps you from addressing your true emotional needs and undermines the possibility of forming real, lasting bonds.

​

​​​

THE IMPACT OF YOUR EMOTIONAL WOUNDS

 

​

WOUND OF REJECTION

​

For you, this wound is characterized by a deep fear of being limited or constrained. This feeling fuels a fear of lacking freedom, leading you to avoid serious commitments and prioritize distractions. You develop strong anxiety at the idea of routine and a tendency to protect yourself from this feeling of rejection by constantly surrounding yourself with new stimulation and dynamic people. This quest becomes a strategy to escape anything that could restrict your freedom, further reinforcing your difficulty in settling down and accepting situations that require sustained attention and commitment.

​​​

WOUND OF ABANDONMENT

​​

Your wound manifests as a deep fear of becoming trapped or limited by overly demanding relationships or responsibilities that could restrict your freedom.  This fear leads you to convince yourself that you must avoid deep connections or emotional commitments in order to preserve your independence. You then develop a tendency to flee from overly serious or restrictive relationships, feeling deep discomfort when you perceive the risk of becoming trapped in a situation or relationship that threatens your need for freedom.

​​

WOUND OF INJUSTICE

​

For you, injustice manifests as a deep feeling of not being taken seriously or recognized for your ability to live fully and enjoy life. You may feel frustration when it seems to you that there is a lack of appreciation for your energy, enthusiasm, or creativity.

This wound generates mistrust towards social expectations and constraints, leading you to turn away from situations where you risk feeling limited or suffocated.

You tend to constantly seek new opportunities that allow you to feel free, far from any restrictions.

​​​

WOUND OF BETRAYAL

​

For you, the betrayal wound manifests as a deep fear of being limited or trapped by those in whom you have placed your trust. This feeling generates constant vigilance toward others' expectations and obligations, pushing you to anticipate any situation that could restrict your freedom or prevent you from following your own path. The fear of being forced or deprived of your lightness leads you to distrust overly serious commitments and avoid any form of dependency or relational responsibility. You may tend to flee from situations that seem too engaging or restrictive.

​

WOUND OF HUMILIATION

​

For the Epicurean, the humiliation wound manifests as an intense fear of being perceived as boring, limited, or incapable of living fully and exploring the many possibilities available to you. This feeling generates anxiety about being stuck in monotonous situations or having your adventurous and pleasurable capacities questioned. You may fear being judged for your lack of seriousness or your absence of deep emotional commitment, causing you to fluctuate between a need to protect yourself behind distractions and a tendency to avoid any situation where you might feel limited or constrained.

​

BEHAVIORS OF PROFILE 7 UNDER STRESS

Under pressure, you manifest behaviors designed to alleviate the anxiety generated by the fear of being trapped, deprived of freedom, or confronted with suffering. These unconscious reactions serve as defense mechanisms to escape emotional discomfort. They translate into mental dispersion, a flight to avoid boredom or pain. You tend to multiply activities to distract yourself from what destabilizes you, focusing on the present moment.

 

THE RISKS OF ADDICTION IN PROFILE 7​

For the Enthusiast, the risks of addiction or dependency appear when you feel the anxiety of being limited, trapped, or confronted with emotional pain that you prefer to avoid. This drives you to compensate for this discomfort by overindulging in activities, pleasures, or distractions in order to maintain a constant state of excitement. These behaviors, often automatic, aim to avoid boredom and confrontation with deeper emotions. The need for lightness takes precedence over listening, masking a form of existential emptiness.

​

This tendency can be accompanied by difficulty slowing down, staying present in the moment, or embracing discomfort without trying to extinguish it immediately. The refusal of emotional pain pushes you to multiply projects or pleasures, which may distance you from your authentic feelings. This can sometimes create relational instability, fueled by an unconscious fear of deep attachment or emotional boredom. Learning to savor the moment without filling it becomes a path toward more presence and grounding.

​

​HOW TO AVOID DISINTEGRATION

 

You need to learn to balance your need for stimulation and freedom with a more grounded and present awareness in the moment. It is essential to cultivate a relationship with yourself that is not solely based on distraction, optimism, or the accumulation of experiences, but also on the acceptance of limits and uncomfortable emotions. By developing a deep connection to your feelings and learning to embrace the void without running from it, you can find lasting inner peace.

CONCLUSIONS

 

Understanding your thought pattern through the Enneagram represents a valuable opportunity to explore your personal development in depth. It not only allows you to highlight your strengths but also to identify areas of vulnerability that deserve attention and work.

By clearly defining your type and becoming aware of the impact of your emotional wounds, you begin to reveal the unconscious dynamics that influence your behaviors — whether they are empowering or limiting — and that are triggered in response to emotions activated by your environment.

​

You may have already noticed that it is not so much the event itself that affects you, but rather the emotional charge it awakens within you. The therapist's goal is not to erase your emotions but to support you in how you perceive them, working on their intensity, form, or tone.
In therapy, aware that nature abhors a vacuum, we guide you to transform your emotional experience — not by suppressing it, but by allowing you to reinvest it differently.
By shifting the way you perceive your emotions, your outlook on them — and on yourself — is transformed.

It is essential to remember that there is no “good” or “bad” profile. This journey of discovery is designed to support you in better understanding your behaviors, your deepest motivations, and the recurring patterns that shape your life. As you explore what follows, you will become aware that, from birth, we are conditioned and programmed by suggestions that govern and define our being. Suggestion forms the foundation of hypnosis and NLP; your decision to take this test shows that you have already sensed the need to deprogram yourself and to move beyond your hypnotic trance state.

​​

By acknowledging these aspects of yourself, you will have the opportunity to better understand your reactions to challenging situations, while paving the way for a more harmonious personal development. This will enable you to transform your vulnerabilities into catalysts for growth and to evolve into a more fulfilled version of yourself.

UNDERSTANDING HOW YOUR PERSONALITY WAS FORMED

 

Your Type 8 personality can develop in an environment where strength, independence, and control are highly valued. You may have been encouraged to take charge, assert your power, and defend what you believe is right. Sometimes, this educational framework emphasizes domination and mastery rather than collaboration or emotional management, which can lead Type 8 to become more intense, developing a constant need for power and a tendency to avoid dependency.

 

For some, especially when familial affection seems to depend on their ability to impose authority or maintain control, the need for power and independence is reinforced. This can manifest in a quest for domination and a tendency to minimize the importance of emotional compromises, seeking reassurance by accumulating successes and diversifying responsibilities. This dynamic can sometimes distance them from their well-being, pushing them to prioritize power and control rather than reflecting on their relationships.

 

You develop early on the idea that your value depends on your ability to assert your power, make decisions, and maintain control. Often evolving in an environment where strength, determination, and independence are valued, you actively seek leadership opportunities to feel legitimate and fulfilled. In the absence of a secure framework, you develop your autonomy and avoid any form of vulnerability. This pushes you to take charge and fiercely preserve your independence.

​

Search for Mastery​ 

 

• Type 8 individuals tend to seek situations where they can exercise their power and influence. They are highly sensitive to the opportunity to make decisions and assert their authority, seeking to free themselves from external constraints and lead their own destiny. Their need to feel powerful and in control drives them to engage in environments where they can assert their strength and take initiative while avoiding situations where they might feel vulnerable or restricted.

 

Demand for Autonomy​ 

 

• You may be very demanding of yourself and others when you feel that your authority is threatened. Judging your own value by your ability to exert total control over your actions and avoid any form of submission, you may experience intense frustration when you perceive attempts at manipulation.                                        This internal tension can lead you to adopt a firmer, even authoritarian, posture to assert your power and protect your personal space.

 

Need for Trust and Respect 

​

• You are often driven by a strong desire to build solid and authentic relationships based on loyalty and mutual respect. You seek to be recognized for your ability to defend what you believe in and protect those you love. Convicted that your value lies in your strength and ability to inspire trust, you prefer to engage in relationships and projects where you can assert your influence and where your authority is respected, rather than in superficial or vulnerable interactions.

 

TYPE 8 IN INTEGRATION TOWARDS TYPE 2

When you integrate the Type 2 aspects, you develop the positive aspects of your personality. This is reflected in your increased ability to be more attentive to the needs of others and show warmth and empathy in your relationships. You learn to balance your strength with kindness and generosity, becoming more receptive to the emotions of others and ready to connect more authentically. By developing a deeper trust in your ability to take care of others and create strong connections.

​

Affirmation and Confidence in the Future 

​

• In integration towards Type 8, you learn to trust in your inner power while becoming more vulnerable and attentive to others. You develop a greater ability to connect emotionally, replacing your tendency to dominate with a sense of reciprocity and kindness. This integration allows you to free yourself from your fear of weakness and actively engage in your relationships with renewed confidence in your ability to create deep and sincere bonds.

 

Release of the Fear of Isolation 

​

• In integration, you learn to detach from your tendency to withdraw into yourself. You realize that your true strength lies not only in your ability to make decisions and defend your principles but also in your capacity to show compassion. By integrating this new perspective, you find balance between your need for power and your desire to create emotional connections, strengthening your ability to embrace emotions without feeling vulnerable.

​​

Balance Between Strength and Support 

​

• In this process of integration, you learn not to be overwhelmed by the need to control everything. You discover that you can combine your need for power and leadership with a softer and more supportive approach in your relationships. This ability to balance authority and attentiveness to others allows you to channel your energy more constructively, finding a balance between protection and emotional connection that you establish, for deeper and more enriching experiences.

​

TYPE 8 IN DISINTEGRATION TOWARDS TYPE 5

 

When you disintegrate, you begin to manifest less controlled aspects of your personality. You become more suspicious, more impulsive, and seek to impose your point of view with force in an attempt to maintain control in the face of an inner sense of threat. Listening to others diminishes, replaced by a need to dominate or protect yourself. In trying to avoid vulnerability, you cut yourself off from your emotions and risk losing touch with your values, retreating into a defensive and conflict-driven mode.

 

Avoidance of authenticity and search for ownership

​

• In disintegration, the Type 8 may avoid authenticity by focusing solely on others and forgetting to reconnect with their own emotions and truths. They become more dependent on admiration and external validation to boost their self-esteem.                                                                                                                          This quest for recognition can make their actions superficial, driven by the desire to please rather than by deep personal goals, intensifying their inner dissatisfaction.

​

Dominance and Search for Validation:

 

• You often become obsessed with the idea of being loved and recognized for your actions, but this search for validation can harm your integrity. Rather than maintaining healthy and determined leadership, you may seek to be loved at all costs, attempting to emotionally dominate situations and impose your authority to fill an inner sense of insecurity. This need for control often masks a deep fear of vulnerability and a refusal to acknowledge your own flaws.

​

Loss of Control and Search for Affection:

​

• You lose sight of your role as a leader and become more reactive to your emotions and the expectations of others. You become more inclined to avoid situations that would confront you with your own limits, seeking to fulfill your emotional needs through superficially engaging relationships. Instead of maintaining your independence and control, you become dependent on external relationships to feel valued, which ultimately harms your autonomy and your ability to act with clarity.​​​

​

​​​

THE IMPACT OF YOUR EMOTIONAL WOUNDS

 

​

WOUND OF REJECTION

​​​

For the Leader, the rejection wound manifests as an intense fear of being perceived as weak, powerless, or disrespected. This feeling triggers a compensatory reaction, where the need for affirmation takes precedence over vulnerability. To avoid being rejected or humiliated, they adopt a posture of strength and control. Every action becomes a way to prove they don't need anyone, thus protecting themselves from the humiliation of being pushed aside or judged inadequate. This armor of power often conceals a deep, hidden sensitivity, difficult even for the leader to acknowledge.

​

​WOUND OF ABANDONMENT

​

For the Leader, abandonment translates into a deep fear of being betrayed or left alone in the face of adversity. This feeling generates constant mistrust toward others and a need to control everything to avoid dependence on anyone. They seek to avoid emotional dependency, convinced that relying on others is a path to loss.

Every bond is tested for its reliability, and any breach in loyalty triggers a strategic retreat or a defensive reaction. Beneath this defensive posture lies a strong desire for authentic connection, often suppressed for fear of being hurt again.

 

WOUND OF INJUSTICE​

​

For the Leader, the injustice wound manifests as a refusal to submit to authority perceived as unjust or arbitrary. They cannot tolerate abuse of power or rules imposed without coherence. This profile intensely feels imbalances and often positions themselves as a defender of the vulnerable. Any situation where they feel wronged or controlled can ignite explosive anger, driven by the need to restore fairness according to their own standards of loyalty and honesty. Their intense reaction to injustice hides a deep attachment to the values of respect, truth, and dignity.

​

WOUND OF BETRAYAL

​

For the Leader, betrayal is one of the most painful wounds, experienced as a direct attack on their trust. They give their loyalty cautiously, but once given, any rupture or disappointment is perceived as an unbearable affront. This wound fuels their need to control relationships and anticipate any possible weakness.

Every bond becomes a test of strength, and any crack is a threat to neutralize in order to avoid a new wound. Their mistrust is often proportional to the depth of their attachment, which they hide behind a facade of independence.

 

WOUND OF HUMILIATION

​

For the Leader, humiliation manifests as a fear of being exposed in their vulnerability or publicly degraded. They dread situations where they could lose face or be dominated. To defend themselves from this pain, they wear a mask of power, assurance, and provocation.

They prefer to attack rather than risk being diminished. Every criticism or judgment is interpreted as a danger, leading them to react intensely to preserve their integrity and image of strength. This reactivity hides a great sensitivity to personal injustice, often concealed behind a posture of control.

​

BEHAVIORS OF TYPE 8 UNDER STRESS

 

Under pressure, as a Type 8, you may adopt behaviors of domination or excessive control, driven by the fear of being betrayed or weakened. Often without fully realizing it, you seek to strengthen your position through force or authority, rather than showing your doubts or wounds.

This defense mechanism aims to conceal inner vulnerability, while risking alienating yourself from others and reinforcing constant mistrust in your relationships.

 

THE RISKS OF ADDICTION IN TYPE 8

 

When you feel the anxiety of losing control, being betrayed, or appearing weak, you may seek to compensate for this discomfort by adopting behaviors of overcompensation, such as overinvestment in action, excessive authority, or a heightened need to control everything.

These reactions, often unconscious, serve as defense mechanisms to soothe deep insecurity and mask any form of vulnerability perceived as dangerous.

​

This behavioral drift is often accompanied by rigidity in relationships, a refusal to delegate, and a fierce desire to control everything to avoid potential threats. The constant search for power and control becomes an escape from internal tensions and the fear of losing control.

Failing to recognize your own limits or struggling to accept help only fuels this cycle, making it particularly difficult to break free from this spiral.

​

HOW TO AVOID DISINTEGRATION

 

You need to learn to balance your need for control and assertion by being more authentic and open to the world around you. You must cultivate a self-esteem that does not rely solely on the exercise of power, but also on sincere relationships and mutual respect. By having a more balanced view of yourself, you will find the equilibrium between strength and receptivity. Freeing yourself from the fear of being perceived as weak will allow you to experience deeper relationships and avoid the endless quest for control and independence.

CONCLUSIONS

 

Understanding your thought pattern through the Enneagram represents a valuable opportunity to explore your personal development in depth. It not only allows you to highlight your strengths but also to identify areas of vulnerability that deserve attention and work.

By clearly defining your type and becoming aware of the impact of your emotional wounds, you begin to reveal the unconscious dynamics that influence your behaviors — whether they are empowering or limiting — and that are triggered in response to emotions activated by your environment.

​

You may have already noticed that it is not so much the event itself that affects you, but rather the emotional charge it awakens within you. The therapist's goal is not to erase your emotions but to support you in how you perceive them, working on their intensity, form, or tone.
In therapy, aware that nature abhors a vacuum, we guide you to transform your emotional experience — not by suppressing it, but by allowing you to reinvest it differently.
By shifting the way you perceive your emotions, your outlook on them — and on yourself — is transformed.

It is essential to remember that there is no “good” or “bad” profile. This journey of discovery is designed to support you in better understanding your behaviors, your deepest motivations, and the recurring patterns that shape your life. As you explore what follows, you will become aware that, from birth, we are conditioned and programmed by suggestions that govern and define our being. Suggestion forms the foundation of hypnosis and NLP; your decision to take this test shows that you have already sensed the need to deprogram yourself and to move beyond your hypnotic trance state.

​​

By acknowledging these aspects of yourself, you will have the opportunity to better understand your reactions to challenging situations, while paving the way for a more harmonious personal development. This will enable you to transform your vulnerabilities into catalysts for growth and to evolve into a more fulfilled version of yourself. Before going further, you will discover what the Enneagram is and how our personality is structured around certain mechanisms. I wish you a wonderful journey of self-discovery.

​

The Enneagram is a tool for understanding
thought patterns and behaviors.
It is a personality classification system
that identifies nine profiles,
represented by the numbers 1 through 9

 

Each of these profiles corresponds to a set
of dominant character traits, deep motivations,
and behavioral patterns.
Your profile determines your map of the world.
But remember: the map is not the territory.

 

By understanding your profile, this tool provides you
a valuable framework to explore the internal dynamics
that influence your actions and your way
of perceiving the world, fostering a better
understanding of yourself… and others.

 

Your profile is determined from conception by epigenetic factors that condition you for the rest of your life.
From birth, you are influenced by external elements, such as the environment, parental upbringing, lived experiences, religion, learning, and challenges encountered. But these influences are not limited to what you consciously perceive. Deep biological processes lie at the heart of how your environment shapes the expression of your genes.

 

Epigenetics is the study of the mechanisms by which genes can be turned on or off without altering the DNA sequence, in response to environmental, behavioral, or emotional factors.

These changes can be inherited from one generation to the next. In other words, certain traumas, emotional wounds, or learned behaviors from your parents — or even your ancestors — can become biologically embedded in your makeup, just like the genes themselves.

 

An experiment on the intergenerational transmission of fear was conducted in mice. In this study, adult mice were exposed to an odor associated with a predator—such as that of a cat—which triggered a natural fear response in them. The descendants of these mice, despite never having been directly exposed to this odor, displayed fear behaviors when later presented with the same scent. These findings suggest that fear-related emotions can be passed down to the next generation.

 

This demonstrates that emotional experiences such as fear can be passed down from one generation to the next through mechanisms that influence the behavior and emotional responses of offspring, even without direct exposure to the same stimuli. It confirms that your ancestors bequeath to you part of their genetic heritage, along with emotional responses that shape your development long before your birth.
This emotional inheritance plays a key role in your development.

 

HOW DO WE INHERIT THESE MECHANISMS

​

Our genetic heritage consists of two alleles per gene, with 50 % inherited from each of our parents.
This means that for each gene, we receive one allele from the father and one allele from the mother, forming a pair of alleles. Each parent has two possible alleles for a given gene but transmits only one of these alleles to the child. Consequently, we have a one-in-two chance from the father’s side and a one-in-two chance from the mother’s side of inheriting a specific allele.

 

If one of the father’s alleles is modified by a genetic factor, we have a one-in-two chance of inheriting it.
The same goes for the mother’s side. Thus, if both parents each carry a modified allele, the probability of the child inheriting both modified alleles is 25 %. This means we have a one-in-four chance of inheriting the modified genetic factor from both parents. This principle also applies to epigenetic transmission, which influences gene expression without altering the DNA sequence.

 

FORMATION OF YOUR THOUGHT PATTERN

 

To understand how this works, imagine two six-year-old children, monozygotic twins from the same egg, often referred to as “true” twins. They are often described as being like clones: perfect copies of each other, sometimes reversed as if by a mirror reflection. It is even said that if one is injured, the other can feel the pain, even over great distances. This unique connection continues to intrigue science, as it illustrates the power of the link between biology, cellular memory, and emotional perception.

 

Although they share a strong resemblance, identical genetic heritage, and a common upbringing, twins can develop different personalities due to epigenetic factors. Their personality is shaped not only by external environmental influences but also by their internal states, known as mindsets.
This epigenetic dimension means that twins with the same DNA can express certain genes differently, depending on their life experiences, surroundings, or even those of their ancestors.

 

To understand, imagine these twins waking one morning, ready to go to the beach with their mother.
The first twin wakes up full of energy, excited at the idea of spending a fun day at the beach.
His brother, meanwhile, feels a bit unwell—with a stuffy nose and still tired. Although he would have preferred to stay in bed, he decides, to please his mother, to get up and join them.
We can therefore consider that these two brothers do not share the same mindset at that precise moment.

 

Arriving at the beach, they watch the sea. A huge wave crashes over them and thrashes them about.
The healthy twin experiences this as an exciting adventure. For him, it’s a game, and he doesn’t hesitate to jump into the next wave because he’s having fun. His brother perceives the same experience as a traumatic ordeal. His only reaction is to cry in his mother’s arms, frightened by what just happened.
This difference in perception of a similar experience could be influenced by epigenetic factors.

 

Indeed, sensitivity to fear or trauma can sometimes be linked to emotional experiences lived and passed down by past generations. A trauma experienced by an ancestor—such as a water-related danger—could be transmitted from one generation to the next and reactivate that fear in one of the twins, who has inherited one or both of his parents’ alleles, while the other remains unaffected, lacking that information in his genetic inheritance.
Thirty years later, the two brothers must take the ferry across rough seas.

 

The first recalls the beach with enthusiasm, while the second feels fear when remembering that day.
Their reactions, rooted in thought patterns formed during childhood, continue to influence their behavior in adulthood. This divergence reflects a different expression of epigenetic factors that condition their emotional response. Thus, these emotional patterns can persist beyond individual experiences, traverse generations, and unconsciously shape behavior.

 

The Enneagram helps you understand how these thought patterns develop and influence emotions and behaviors throughout life. For example, if one of the twins is a Type 7, they will constantly seek adventure and excitement. If the other is a Type 6, they will always anticipate danger and strive to protect themselves.
The impact of epigenetics can also explain why one of the twins develops a stronger propensity for fear— inherited from prior traumas—even though they grew up in a similar environment.

 

When our senses are stimulated by our environment, the brain activates to process the information received.
It scans its memory for a similar experience that might resonate with the present situation.
This resonance with a memory generates an emotion. The emotion thus evoked acts as a defense mechanism, preparing the person to respond to the stimulus.
It triggers an automatic response, allowing one to manage stress or potential danger.

 

UNDERSTANDING HOW YOUR PERSONALITY WAS FORMED

 

Your Profile 9 personality can develop in an environment where harmony, tranquility, and avoidance of conflict are prioritized, fostering a strong need for peace and cohesion.

Sometimes, this educational framework may be marked by a certain indifference or overly conciliatory, even absent, parents, which accentuates your tendency to blend in and seek relational stability. However, it is important to note that each experience is unique.

 

For some, particularly when family love is fluctuating or in an environment where disagreements are suppressed, this need for calm and consideration intensifies and manifests as an external quest for harmony, where you seek to preserve peace at all costs.

Children of Profile 9 integrate these values of kindness and moderation despite the initial absence of support for self-assertion or encouragement to freely express their opinions.

​

You develop character traits oriented towards seeking serenity and consensus.

You are driven to maintain balance and avoid confrontations to fill an emotional void and prove your worth by being accommodating.

As you grow, you seek to adapt to external expectations and restore inner well-being, relentlessly pursuing agreement and peace, regardless of its origin.

​

Relational Harmony Seeking:​​

 

• Profile 9 individuals tend to prioritize a peaceful atmosphere and emotional connection, avoiding conflict in their relationships. You keenly feel differences and often seek to soothe them, fearing discord or rupture. Your need to maintain tranquility pushes you to constantly adapt, sometimes sacrificing your own desires to preserve the calm. As a result, you often find yourself in a pattern of self-effacement that can make you neglect your true needs and aspirations.

 

Avoidance of Confrontation and Masked Passivity:

 

• You may retreat into yourself or avoid any form of disagreement when you fear disappointing or provoking tension. This attitude sometimes leads you to suppress your opinions, preferring to agree or withdraw. You may then feel misunderstood or harbor inner frustration, without expressing it.                                       Gradually, this avoidance reflex can intensify your fear of conflict and further isolate you from your own feelings.

 

Attachment to Tacit Recognition:​

 

• You are often motivated by a desire to be accepted and valued for your availability and accommodating nature. You aspire to preserve harmonious relationships by constantly adapting to the expectations of those around you, hoping to be noticed or supported. You believe that your quiet efforts should be enough to be recognized, a sentiment stemming from a family environment where your need for affirmation was not always acknowledged.

 

PROFILE 9 IN INTEGRATION TOWARDS TYPE 3

 

When you integrate towards Type 3, you develop the positive aspects of your personality. This translates into an increased ease in taking initiatives and stepping out of your reserve. You learn to recognize your priorities and express your needs more clearly, while maintaining your willingness to cooperate.

This evolution fosters a renewed balance in your relationships, allowing you to combine assertiveness with a sense of harmony.

 

Flourishing and Progressive Affirmation:

 

• As a Type 3, you learn to better understand yourself and embrace your ambitions without fearing potential conflicts. You realize that it is possible to act proactively to achieve your goals while remaining sensitive to the needs of those around you.                                                                                                                  This transformation allows you to be more present with yourself, build your confidence, and strengthen your self-esteem, all while preserving the inner peace that is dear to your nature.

 

Liberation from the Passive Mode:

​

• As you integrate, you gradually detach from the passive stance that forced you to suppress your desires.      You discover the power of more direct communication, avoiding misunderstandings related to the systematic avoidance of disagreement.                                                                                                                    By embracing this new dynamic, you find a balance between self-assertion and listening to others, paving the way for more sincere exchanges and more balanced relationships.

 

Balance between Adaptation and Initiative:

 

• In this integration process, you learn to reconcile the flexibility inherent in Profile 9 with the drive for achievement characteristic of Profile 3. You realize that it is possible to maintain a serene atmosphere while making bold decisions aligned with your values.                                                                                      This ability to claim your choices allows you to fully live your projects without breaking relational harmony, thus fostering more complete personal growth.

 

PROFILE 9 IN DISINTEGRATION TOWARDS TYPE 6

 

In disintegration, you begin to manifest the more passive and evasive aspects of your personality. Your need for harmony may then transform into inner inertia, accompanied by increasing disengagement or a vague sense of frustration. You gradually withdraw, oscillating between avoidance and resignation, which fuels a loss of connection with your deeper desires. Your energy, instead of being directed towards building peaceful relationships, becomes diluted in indecision and self-forgetfulness.

 

Internal Tensions and Silent Withdrawal:​

 

• In disintegration, the Profile 9 often becomes overwhelmed by emotional fatigue and difficulty in facing latent conflicts. You may try to minimize your needs or ignore tensions, while feeling an unexpressed inner frustration. This tug-of-war between the desire for peace and unspoken discomfort can push you towards isolation. You may find yourself trapped in a posture of withdrawal, gradually diminishing the quality of your connections and vitality.

 

Exacerbation of Avoidance:​

 

• You often become inclined to avoid any engaging decisions, preferring to let others choose for you to avoid potential disagreements. You turn away from your personal power, allowing your environment to dictate the course of things, even if it goes against your true desires.                                                                      While you feel an increasing emptiness, the need for peace outweighs the need for alignment, distancing you further from yourself and others.

 

Confusion between Peace and Emotional Disengagement

 

• As a Type 9, you struggle to distinguish between the true search for inner harmony and an emotional avoidance state, where you disconnect from your feelings to escape any form of conflict. You cling to an apparent calm, putting aside your true needs and emotions. This resistance to making decisions or fully engaging sometimes leads you to apathy. Out of fear of conflict, you distance yourself from yourself. By positioning yourself clearly and authentically, you restore your deeper connections.​​​

THE IMPACT OF YOUR EMOTIONAL WOUNDS

 

​

WOUND OF REJECTION

 

For the Mediator, the rejection wound manifests as a persistent feeling of being transparent or insignificant in the eyes of others. This sensation feeds a deep fear of not being appreciated or accepted, driving this profile to constantly avoid disagreements in order to preserve harmony and approval from those around them. The need to be included and recognized leads them to fade into the background, sacrificing their own needs to avoid any potential criticism or rejection. Every behavior becomes an attempt to maintain relational peace, hoping to protect themselves from the painful feeling of being excluded or forgotten.

 

WOUND OF ABANDONMENT

 

For the Mediator, the abandonment wound manifests as a persistent fear of being ignored, left out, or forgotten by those around them. This feeling generates deep anxiety, fueled by the fear of being invisible or insignificant. To preserve their relationships, they seek to avoid conflict by adapting to others, sometimes sacrificing their own desires to maintain harmony.

Each action becomes a subtle effort to avoid isolation, ensuring their place within the group while trying to discreetly fill their fear of being emotionally forgotten.

​

WOUND OF INJUSTICE

​

For the Pacemaker, the wound of injustice often manifests as the feeling of not being listened to, considered, or recognized for one's true value. This feeling leads to silent frustration and anxiety in the face of conflict, pushing this profile to constantly prioritize peace and compromise.

The need to preserve relational harmony translates into a deep desire to avoid any form of direct confrontation or rupture. Every interaction thus becomes an opportunity to subtly restore emotional balance, striving to maintain cohesion at all costs.

 

WOUND OF BETRAYAL

 

For the Pacemaker, the betrayal wound is experienced as a deep sense of having been ignored, neglected, or forgotten by those they relied on. This feeling generates a constant worry related to the fear of being rejected or excluded, prompting this profile to continuously seek harmony and relational stability.

The need to feel integrated and accepted manifests as an increased desire to avoid any conflict or disagreement in order to prevent ruptures or tensions. Every interaction then becomes an opportunity to strengthen their sense of belonging.

​

WOUND OF HUMILIATION

 

For the Pacemaker, there is a sense of not mattering or being forgotten due to their lack of self-assertion. This creates anxiety related to the fear of rejection and conflict with others. They constantly seek harmony and acceptance by avoiding disagreements.

They tend to ignore their own needs, interpreting any discomfort or frustration as a threat to their inner peace. This desire to fade into the background to maintain peace leads to a gradual forgetting of themselves, reinforcing their belief that they don't really matter.

 

BEHAVIORS OF THE TYPE 9 UNDER PRESSURE​

 

Under pressure, as a Type 9, you may adopt behaviors aimed at maintaining superficial peace, out of fear of conflict or rejection.

Often without fully realizing it, you prioritize discretion and immobility rather than direct confrontation or clarifying your needs. This defense mechanism serves to mask inner insecurity, while risking further isolation and nurturing suppressed anger.

 

THE RISKS OF ADDICTION FOR TYPE 9

 

For the Pacemaker, the risks of addiction or dependency arise when you feel the anxiety of an impending conflict or disagreement that might disturb your inner peace.

You may try to ease this discomfort through avoidance behaviors, such as withdrawal, passivity, or over-adapting to the expectations of others. These reactions, often unconscious, respond to a deep need to preserve harmony and remain safe from external tensions.

 

This tendency can be accompanied by a gradual loss of your personal will, as well as difficulty in clearly expressing your needs or desires.

The refusal to disturb or provoke fosters a silent spiral of renunciation, making it difficult to access authentic self-assertion. It can also create a form of distance in your relationships, nurturing unspoken words and a feeling of mutual misunderstanding.

 

HOW TO AVOID DISINTEGRATION

 

Break free from the tendency to fade into the background and cultivate a more assertive and conscious presence of yourself. It is essential to recognize that harmony does not come from avoiding conflict, but from authenticity in expressing your needs. By developing self-esteem independent of external approval and daring to take a stand, you will find a balance between peace and active engagement. Freeing yourself from the fear of disagreement allows you to have sincere relationships by reconnecting with your deep desires.
