9 Types | Enneagram Group

BODY TYPE

The Reformer

Basic description

Type Ones values growth, integrity, and meaningful contribution. Ones hold themselves and the world to high standards and carry an inner sense of responsibility for making things right. That drive toward excellence is a real gift, though it can turn into self-criticism and rigidity when the standard becomes a rod.

Core Drivers

Belief

The world needs to be orderly, fair, and correct, and it's my responsibility to make that happen.

Fear

Being wrong, imperfect, corrupt, or morally flawed.

Motivation

To be good, ethical, and worthy of respect.

Focus of Attention

Errors, mistakes, and how things can be improved.

Typical External Behaviors

HEALTHY

UNHEALTHY

Disciplined

Responsible

Unyielding

Perfectionist

Resentful

Arrows

In Growth

One moves toward Seven, loosening the grip of the inner critic and letting more spontaneity, play, and possibility into their approach. Standards stay high, but they hold them with a lighter hand and start to enjoy the work rather than only judging it.

Under Stress

One moves toward Four, sinking into moodiness, self-doubt, and a sense that no one else sees how much is wrong. The clear inner rules give way to feeling flawed and misunderstood, and the criticism turns inward.
