ENNEAGRAM TYPE 1: THE MORALIST
In One Sentence I’m an extremely detail-oriented visionary driven by a set of principles personal to me that I feel in my gut are true and which others must align with in order for positive change to take place, while I forever feel the guilt of not living up to these principles myself
Essence Qualities Goodness, Sacredness, Purity
Basic Fear being bad
Basic Desire to feel aligned with what is right
Directional Movements
In growth, 1s become more spontaneous, joyful, and self-accepting, like healthy 7s.
In stress, 1s become more emotionally intense, self-critical, and withdrawn, like unhealthy 4s.

1 with 2 Wing I’m an extroverted powerhouse of service, constantly on my feet to set my world straight and do what I feel is right, frequently exhausted by not giving myself permission to care for my own needs
A Personal Meditation for Growth Perfection is in the sincerity of my striving to make a difference in the world, not in the results
