When you take the Enneagram personality test, you get a result that matches you with one of the nine types that thrive on the Enneagram star. You start reading the description, and that’s totally you. But, at the same time, it feels too generic. Enneagrams are archetypes, which means they draw a particular psychological profile with specific patterns and personality traits. But, the Enneagram wings update this information into a more polished profile with defined attributes. That being the case, knowing your wing is as important as knowing your predominant type. Especially if you want a holistic view of your enneatype.
In some way, Enneagram wings bring humanity to their dominant profiles. Far from being just consistent definite types, humans are contradictory and full of chiaroscuro features that provide ourselves with density and depth. What best defines humans are their stories, and there are plenty of movement and internal crashes within them. The Enneagram type with its wings is a whole personality story that best portrays who you are. Are you ready to listen to it? I bet you are!
