People who have adopted Type 1 are action-oriented, have a demanding practical sense, which prioritizes the tasks to be performed. Emotional addiction is rabies, which, because it is unconscious, is justified with a virtuous attitude and virtuous self-image - I am doing my part. The name Perfectionista comes from the high level of demand, which makes them known as "cri-cris". "If it has to be done, it doesn't matter whether you like it or not, it has to be done."

The main negative consequence of this way of organizing resides in the difficulty in recognizing your real needs. Such a departure from oneself reveals hard and uncompromising people, attached to the dichotomy of right-wrong, just-unfair, adequate-inadequate, believing that the effort makes them deserving. "If everyone were like me, we wouldn't have to go through this".

In companies, we find Type 1 normally linked to an area where their effort can be measured. Accounting, finance, organization and methods are some of the common areas. His practical sense is very useful in situations where the main themes are organization and achievement. But in their compulsion, few will adapt to their high level of demand. The details become disproportionate. "Obviously this is not good; if you tried harder, you would understand that good is an enemy of great".

When Type 1 recognizes their pattern of behavior as a way of organizing themselves and not what they really are, they are open to developing neutralization of emotional addiction (Anger) and contact with themselves through the virtue of Serenity. This tool helps them to recognize what they want from themselves, no longer through right-wrong, allowing a greater integration of their feelings, thoughts and actions.

Type 1 Examples: Lilian Witte Fibe, Luiz Carlos Prates, Airton Senna, Marcius Melhem.

People who have adopted Type 2 are centered on emotion, have an acute perception of others, becoming conquerors, who know how to get what they want from people. Emotional addiction is Pride, which, being unconscious, is justified with a caring attitude and a well-intentioned self-image. This emotion supports a behavior based on the feeling of self-sufficiency and capacity. "I can". The name Prestativo adapts comes from the high sense of capacity and the common attitude is "I can, I know, I do". Skilled in relationships, they are often known as loved ones.

The main negative consequence of this way of organizing resides in the difficulty in recognizing your real needs. Such distance from oneself reveals people centered on others, who become aggressive when not attended to. They develop a low tolerance for anything that translates into taking care of themselves. They suffer when they have to ask for something or when they cannot live up to the idealized image.

In companies, we find Type 2 normally linked to an area where there are relationships with people. Sales, HR, secretariat and assistance areas are common. Its high level of excitement and involvement with people creates movement where there was a slump, arouses in people the desire to get involved. But in their compulsion, they become aggressive manipulators, who demand every move they make towards each other, and can move people against each other.

Type 2 Examples: Luciano Huck, Galvão Bueno, Michel Teló, Juliana Paes, Ana Maria Braga.

People who have adopted Type 3 are focused on action or planning, seeking recognition. They have a mercantilist view that guides them in their pursuit of success. Emotional addiction is Vanity, which, being unconscious, is justified with a progressive attitude and efficient self-image.

The name Successful comes from its attachment to the image and the value it translates; success is a means of achieving self-worth.

The main negative consequence of this way of organizing resides in the difficulty in recognizing your real needs. Such a departure from oneself reveals cold people, who disguise their coldness with a humanistic image. They are passionate about the result, stressing everyone around them in the name of excellence. "The ends justify the means. If the winds have changed, adjust the sails." They walk with a taximeter on their backs, committing themselves to people to the extent that they become useful to achieve the goals.

In companies, we find Type 3 normally linked to areas where there are possibilities for growth. Sales, advocacy, administration, freelancers, consulting and advisory are some of the common areas. Their ability to synthesize ideas and communicate generates guidance based on goals. But in their compulsion, they become impersonal, demanding more from people than they could give; and uncompromised, being able to abandon the boat in the face of a more attractive proposal.

When Type 3 recognize their pattern of behavior as a way of organizing themselves and not what they really are, they are open to developing neutralization of emotional addiction (Vanity) and contact with themselves through the virtue of Sincerity.

Type 3 Examples: Roberto Justus, Silvio Santos, Fátima Bernardes, Cristiano Ronaldo, Marília Gabriela.

People who have adopted Type 4 are people focused on emotion, are sensitive to the environment and emotionally unstable. Sensitive emotional perception makes them people who see what most people don't. Emotional addiction is Envy, which, because it is unconscious, is justified by the unfulfilled attitude and self-image of uniqueness. Of the 9 emotions described in the enneagram, envy is the most misunderstood, aggravating the Romantics' difficulty in identifying themselves in the enneagram. What they easily recognize is dissatisfaction.

The name Romantic comes from comparing his life with an idealized one, in which "There, yes, things could be better". Criticism and the demand for originality make them known as authentic.

The main negative consequence of this way of organizing resides in the difficulty in recognizing your real needs. Such detachment reveals people focused on what is missing, being scathing or even complaining. But the common feature is dissatisfaction. "If only it were so". As the focus is on what is lacking and the comparison is constant, they become critical and often ironic people. There is a basic feeling that they have been “screwed up” by the world or by other people. It is worth mentioning that the subtypes of 4 are the ones that present the most characteristic differences, looking like different types from each other.

In companies, we find Type 4 normally linked to an area where creativity and originality can be expressed. Styling, decoration, psychology and journalism are some of the common areas. His keen critical sense and taste for the different create a human environment, where one wants to be. When they feel free to express themselves, they flood the environment with colors. But in their compulsion, they become melancholy, charging the environment with their feeling of dissatisfaction.

"Good morning!" - Says João

"Only if it's for you!" - Answer Vera.

This tool helps them to recognize what they want from themselves, no longer by obtaining what is missing or what is outside, allowing a greater integration of their feelings, thoughts and actions.

Type 4 Examples: Caetano Veloso, Steve Jobs, Neymar, Sandy Lima, Cleo Pires.

People who have adopted Type 5 are centered on the mind, have a curiosity for understanding, becoming extremely rational planners. Emotional addiction is Avarice, which, because it is unconscious, is justified with an insignificant attitude and a logical and prudent self-image.

The name Observer comes from the attitude of non-involvement, as if it prefers to be in the background, from where it can see better without losing its critical sense. Of the types of the Enneagram are the "most in theirs"; they prefer to be with themselves, involved in activities that only concern themselves.

The main negative consequence of this way of organizing resides in the difficulty in recognizing your real needs. Such detachment reveals cold and calculating people, who believe in the mind as a means of achieving things, replacing emotions with thoughts. God placed the head higher than the heart so that reason could dominate the feeling. They prefer rationalism to empiricism, not even allowing themselves to desire something that is not "logical", or to express feelings, which, in turn, are seen as inadequate.

In companies, we find Type 5 normally linked to a planning area. Engineering, research and informatics are some of the common areas. Their analytical skills make them real chess players, bringing the value of long-term goals and strategic planning to the group. But in their compulsion, they become distant and inaccessible; with short and direct answers they turn people away, showing little or no appreciation for their presence.

They accept and express their feelings more, allowing a greater integration of their feelings, thoughts and actions.

Type 5 Examples: Mark Zucherberg, Bill Gates, Angela Merkel, Amyr Klink, Delfim Netto.

People who have adopted Type 6 are centered on action or emotion for control. They are attentive and suspicious, although they do not necessarily express this. They prefer to prepare themselves to throw themselves off the cuff. Emotional addiction is Fear, which, being unconscious, is justified with the self-image of cautious and realistic. The name Questioner comes from the suspicious and alert attitude, of the type "While you are going, I already went and I am coming back". In the sexual subtype we find the counterphobic form of fear, which is recognized with attitudes opposite to fear, such as "What are you looking at there? Are you going to face it?"

The main negative consequence of this way of organizing resides in the difficulty in recognizing your real needs. Such a departure from oneself reveals anxious people, who always have a back seat, who prefer the known and want to prepare for the unknown. "A bird in the hand is better than two flying". Or, "Better to be safe than sorry". In the case of counterphobic people, the expression is always the opposite, of not submitting to another's command or at least aggressively questioning the other's intentions. "The best defense is attack. While you are going, I am coming back" This is an attitude that hides a suspicion about the real intentions of others and a willingness to interpret others as a threat.

In companies, we find Type 6 normally linked to the management of people and procedures. Production, finance and HR are some of the common areas. Their ability to perceive risks makes them skilled process critics, bringing a range of possibilities for failure. In addition, they are gregarious managers, who easily manage to bring the team spirit, in which the One is worth for all and all for one. Loyalty is a hallmark of this pattern of behavior. But in compulsion, they become strict collectors of rules and procedures, as a way to guarantee control. Counterphobics are found in leaders, taking risks as collaborators or entrepreneurs.

This tool helps them to recognize what they want from themselves, no longer through the rule or what is more logical or safe. They accept and express their emotions more, allowing a greater integration of their feelings, thoughts and actions.

Type 6 Examples: Luiz Felipe Scolari, Patrícia Poeta, Preta Gil, Tite, Tadeu Schimidt

People who have adopted Type 7 are centered on the mind; they have a mental agility to deal with several things at the same time, giving priority to pleasure. Emotional addiction is Gula, who, being unconscious, is justified with the enthusiastic attitude and self-image of a skilled improviser. "I make lemonade out of lemonade." The name Dreamer comes from the great amount of ideas and plans, bordering on the impossible.

The main negative consequence of this way of organizing resides in the difficulty in recognizing your real needs. Such detachment reveals superficial people, who overload themselves with activities as a means of escaping emotional difficulties. Exaggerated optimism also reveals people who avoid displeasure by looking at the world with pink glasses.

In companies, we find Type 7 normally linked to an area where there is no routine and creativity is needed. Marketing, sales, planning and negotiation are some of the common areas. Your optimism and creativity are very useful in situations where the main theme is the search for new solutions. But in their compulsion, they are undisciplined and irresponsible, evading routine through manipulative arguments. They clash with those who are more rigid and want to follow the steps provided.

Type 7 Examples: Jô Soares, Ivete Sangalo, Tatá Werneck, Renato Gaúcho, Elon Musk.

People who have adopted Type 8 are action-centric, have an ease of command and leadership, giving priority to achievement. Emotional addiction is Lust, which, being unconscious, is justified by the dominating attitude and self-fulfilling self-image. Everything around you has to be intense and challenging, in an attitude of "Give an ox not to enter and a herd not to leave". The name Confrontador comes from the ease with which they take a position on what they want, expressing themselves in a direct and objective way, intimidating with their apparent security.

The main negative consequence of this way of organizing resides in the difficulty in recognizing your real needs. Such a detachment reveals insensitive people, attached to strength and power. Aggressive dominators, become known as true roller compressors. They easily tend to exaggerate, disregarding what others think and feel.

In companies, we find Type 8 normally linked to leadership. This is the typical profile of the fast-growing megalomaniac businessman. Their feeling for business and their self-confidence make them people who inspire growth and overcoming. Through direct and effective attitudes, they transform organizations quickly. But in their compulsion, they assume the centralization of power. "Order who can, obeys who has a sense". Or, "It will be my way or not at all".

For greater balance:

When Type 8 recognize their behavior pattern as a way of organizing themselves and not what they really are, they are open to developing neutralization of emotional addiction (Lust) and contact with themselves through the virtue of Innocence. This tool helps them to recognize what they want from themselves, no longer through power and dominance, allowing a greater integration of their feelings, thoughts and actions.

Type 8 Examples: Dilma Roussef, Fausto Silva, Serena Williams, Dunga, Roberto Requião.

People who have adopted Type 9 are centered on emotion or the mind, have a mediating attitude, giving priority to the common good. Emotional addiction is indolence, which, because it is unconscious, is justified with a calm attitude and a conciliatory self-image. The name Preservacionista comes from the quest to preserve status, avoiding conflict in favor of peace and tranquility.

The main negative consequence of this way of organizing resides in the difficulty in recognizing your real needs. Such detachment reveals apathetic people who have developed a state of anesthesia so as not to suffer friction with reality. An attitude of hyper-flexibility leaves them amorphous, easily adapting them to the environment. They are people who express serenity and calm, even though these are not their real feelings. Emotional apathy leaves them indecisive, to the point of being known as "whatever".

In companies, we find Type 9 in the most varied areas. Their ease in adapting allows them to remain active for long periods, initially resisting changes, but adapting over time. Administrative, secretarial, public service and auxiliaries are some of the common areas. Your mediating skill is very useful in situations where it is necessary to develop long-term tasks. But in their compulsion, they give in to avoid conflict. They become indecisive and procrastinating, preferring the performance of tasks to active involvement in the search for solutions - "I will pretend to be dead to survive".

For greater balance:

When Type 9s recognize their pattern of behavior as a way of organizing themselves and not what they really are, they are open to developing neutralization of emotional addiction (Indolence) and contact with themselves through the virtue of Right Action. This tool helps them to recognize what they want from themselves, no longer in an adaptive attitude to the environment in which they are inserted, allowing a greater integration of their feelings, thoughts and actions.

Type 9 Examples: Serginho Groisman, Marília Mendonça, Anderson Silva, Simone Mendes, Tony Ramos.
