Have you heard of the enneagram?  It describes nine personality types that are more based in spirituality and anecdote than science, but they’re an interesting description of how we think about the world, the choices we tend to make, our personal values, how we interact with people, and how we respond to stress.  

A lot of the articles I write are geared toward folks who are enneagram type 1.  In part, this is because enneagram 1s tend to think nothing is ever quite good enough so they’re always on a personal improvement quest.  They love a good self-help book and are addicted to researching how to do things. In my article today, I’m sharing with you the core characteristics of type 1s — from their strengths and weaknesses to their core fears and desires.  See if you relate here.
