Enneagram Patterns

While researching the Enneagram, we often find patterns that reveal commonalities between the types. These are triadic patterns where we find three categories, each containing three types. These patterns show us what we have in common with other types and also areas where were see things very differently from other types.
The Centers/Triads	The Center tells us what each type is seeking and their primary imbalance. The Feeling Center (Types 2,3,4) The Thinking Center (Types 5,6,7) The Instinctive Center (Types 8,9,1)
The Social Style (Hornevian Groups)	The Social Style tells us how each type tries to get what it wants. The Compliants (Types 1,2,6) The Withdrawns (Types 4,5,9) The Assertives (Types 3,7,8)
The Harmonics	The Harmonics tell us what each type does when it does not get what it wants. The Positive Outlook group (Types 2,7,9) The Competency Group (Types (1,3,5) The Reactive Group (Types (4,6,8)
The Object Relations	The Object Relations tell us the fundamental emotional state that sustains each type's sense of self. The Attachment Object Relation (Types 3,6,9) The Frustration Object Relation (Types 1,4,7) The Rejection Object Relation (Types 2,5,8)
