Enneagram

    Enneagram wings

    Adjacent type that flavors the core Enneagram type.

    Definition

    Every Enneagram type sits between two adjacent types, one of which exerts a stronger 'wing' influence. A Type 2w3 differs meaningfully from a Type 2w1 in social orientation.

    Example

    A 5w4 brings more emotional depth than a 5w6, which trends more analytical and loyal.
