So these are what we have to watch out for:
Ego-fixations & deadly sins
The Enneagram types have also been correlated with the traditional Seven Deadly Sins plus two additional descriptors - 'deceit' and 'fear'. The '7 sins + 2' need to be understood in a much more specific meaning than usual.
- One – Anger
Anger as a frustration in working hard to do things right, while the rest of the world doesn't care about doing things right and doesn't appreciate the sacrifice and effort made.
- Two – Pride
Pride as a self-inflation of ego, in the sense of seeing themselves as indispensable to others - they have no needs yet the world needs them.
- Three – Deceit
Deceit in the misrepresentation of self by marketing and presenting an image valued by others rather than presenting an authentic self.
- Four – Envy
Envy of someone else reminds this individual that they can never be what the other person is, reawakening a sense of self-defectiveness.
- Five – Avarice
Avarice in the sense of hoarding resources in an attempt to minimize needs from a world that takes more than it gives, thus isolating oneself from the world.
- Six – Fear
Fear often in the form of a generalized anxiety that can't find an actual source of fear yet may wrongly identify one through projection, possibly seeing enemies and danger where there are none.
- Seven – Gluttony
Gluttony not in the sense of eating too much, but instead, of sampling a taste of everything the world has to offer (breadth) and not taking the time for richer experience (depth).
- Eight – Lust
Lust in the sense of wanting more of what this individual finds stimulating to the point that most people would feel overwhelmed and say too much.
- Nine – Sloth
Sloth or laziness in discovering a personal agenda and instead choosing the less problematic strategy of just going along with others' agenda.
