The Nine Enneagram Types as Givers

How do you give based on the Type you are. Find out here!

There exists a feeling of responsibility to give back in each of us. How do we as different Enneagram types employ it?

Most of us are guilty of taking various personality tests online, though the intent may differ. It may be an effort to truly introspect and improve our knowledge of ourselves, or perhaps in the hope of finding a marker of that greatness that awaits us in the future. There are several tests that are scientifically accurate in defining your traits and throwing light on incidents and relationships in your life that may have you wondering, what made them/me say/do this?

The Enneagram personality test is a powerful tool that goes beyond the superficial classifications of gender, culture, and religion to aid one’s self awareness and handle personal transformation adroitly. Though the nine personas may be divided on the basis of major differences in traits (however minute or exaggerated), one that is common to every type is the willingness to give to a cause. Here’s how each type exercises giving, as we observe.

Type One — The Reformer

The one is a true advocate for change — armed with an unflinching sense of right and wrong. The Reformer fears corruption and strives to be a crusader for positive change. Type one as a giver tends to be a leader in creating social impact and is capable of driving major humanitarian missions. Joan of Arc is known to be a one. The peasant girl believed God had chosen her to lead France’s army to victory in its war with England in the thirteenth century.

Type Two — The Helper

Known to be empathetic, warm and emotional, the Helper makes efforts to be selfless and prioritizes serving others. Their major motives are to be loved and appreciated and they are driven by sentiment. The two as a giver aims to bring people together and move them to collectively create change in a cause. Lionel Richie was a typical two. The single “We Are The World” written by him and Michael Jackson is considered a significant milestone in pop history. Its sales raised US $10.8 million and its official merchandise raised four times as much. The funds were used to send cargo jets carrying food, clothing and medicine to poor countries in Africa.

Type Three — The Achiever

She used her show as an educational platform to display a philanthropic angle on world events, interviews with unique individuals with a striking story and feature motivating self-improvement segments.

Type Four — The Individualist

Constantly at risk of falling prey to melancholy, the four is a self-aware and self-indulgent individual, who is capable of high levels of creativity. A four tends to be moody and often withdraw into themselves due to self-consciousness. As a giver, the four is capable of turning their creative cogs to devise unique campaigns for social causes. Kate Winslet, for example, founded the Golden Hat Foundation after getting inspired by a documentary she voiced about an Icelandic boy who suffered autism. Her foundation focuses on improving the lives of those affected with autism.

Like her, sixes are dedicated to their causes and attach heavy emotional connect to giving. Princess Diana changed the way the world saw HIV and leprosy when she was captured shaking hands with affected patients. She also led a campaign for worldwide ban on landmines.

Type Seven — The Enthusiast

Spontaneity and optimism are the chief qualities of the Enthusiast. At their best, the Seven is a joyful spirit to be around and at their worst, need to learn to deal with pain and are impatient. Sevens tend to give spontaneously in bursts of emotion. John F Kennedy was a type seven that was known to donate his entire presidential salary impulsively to charitable causes during his term.

Type Nine — The Peacemaker

That one person who everyone in a social circle is friends with; the glue that holds them together, is the Nine. Accepting of all, stable and supportive, Peacemakers are afraid of loss and separation more than anything else. Giving comes naturally to the type nine, in their daily lives, career and relations. “With malice toward none, with charity for all,” were some of the words Abraham Lincoln (a type nine) used in his second inaugural address. During his term, he led the country into abolishing slavery and modernizing the economy.
