| Through lecture, group discussion, and panels, this session will describe
the distinct characteristics of the 27 Enneagram subtypes as articulated by
Claudio Naranjo. While many studies of the subtypes focus on the generic
nature of the three instinctual tendencies, self-preservation, social, and
one-to-one, or the way they manifest dynamically in terms of “stacking,”
this presentation will highlight the defining traits of the 27 unique
instinctual subtypes in terms of how the passions of the nine types and
the neurotic needs associated with the three instincts combine to create 27
unique personality types. Participants will also learn about the interesting
and informative relationships among the three subtypes of each of the
nine Enneagram personality types. For example, for each Enneagram type
there are three subtypes, one of which is a “counter-type,” that is a subtype
in which the instinctual energy runs in opposition to the emotional
passion of the type.
