  Properties of the Enneagram
What instead was characteristic of Gurdjieff's presentation of the enneagram was that he described it as a symbol relating the law of the triad (law of three) to the law of the octave (law of seven).
In the representation of the enneagram, the first of these 'gaps' is suggested by the apex of the internal triangle (representative of the 'law of the triad') at point 3.
When the enneagram is used as a symbol against which to cast the system of personality or ego types, clearly the ideal is the self that is fluid in all points of the enneagram, one that is able to move freely to all points.

 Enneagram
The Enneagram is a popular New Age tool which has found its way into Catholic practices, including parish classes and in retreat programs.
The Enneagram is a circular diagram on which personality types numbered one through nine are symbolically represented at nine equidistant points on the circumference.
The Enneagram is supposed to enable a person to gain knowledge of his true self, exposing the true motivations for actions and illusions developed regarding himself and regarding how to deal with the world.

 Three (Enneagram) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Achiever personality type, according to Don Richard Riso, is the third personality type of the Enneagram, and is also known as a Three.
When Achievers are healthy, they know how to develop themselves in order to become the best they can be, and they are often well-liked and successful in whatever field they choose.
They split off from their identities and live lives of loneliness and frustration, even though they may have achieved some sort of worldly success.

 A BRIEF REPORT ON THE ORIGINS OF THE ENNEAGRAM
While Gurdjieff considered the enneagram to contain the key to knowledge of all that is in the cosmos, it was Ichazo in the 1960s who first developed a theory of nine personality types corresponding to the nine points of the enneagram.
Many enneagram teachers believe that he learned the enneagram from Sufi mystics, though in saying this they do not necessarily mean to deny that the enneagram could be older, since the Sufis themselves are reputed to pass down forms of wisdom that are older than their own school.
The desire of the cosmos to return to the unity of the Absolute is represented by the division of one by three and by seven, thus yielding the repeating decimals that are at the basis of the enneagram.

 Interpreting Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator Data With the Enneagram of Consciousness.
Point Three's muscle sensation receptors for monitoring force in the body are in a completely different category from Point Seven's passive extraverted sensation function for receiving stimuli with the five senses (see, hear, taste, touch, and smell) from objects in the world outside the body.
It is significant that Karen Horney uses the adjective "moving" with each of her three attitudes; it confirms the logic of the fifth "moving" function on the Enneagram of Consciousness.
This means that each point on the enneagram has a tug of war going on between its bipolar opposite at another point on the enneagram (the 9-7 and 1-6 pairs, for example).

 Enneagram Types: The Performer
Point Three, the Performer, is the child who lost hope that the Universe will provide and discovered that love, recognition, value and acceptance came to those who could achieve, who could "do", and who could accomplish.
The deceit is of one's self through the unconscious adptation to, and an identification with, a role that is deemed by the Three to be the epitome of success in a given situation.
THREEs can be "used car salespersons" in whatever field--and there's a part of me that loves to sell ideas and feel the approval and flow from the crowd as I respond to their interests using their language and experiences.

 Enneagram and the Tree of Life
In addition to the properties of the enneagram discussed in consideration of the inner hexagram, a second property of the relationship of enneagram to the laws of three and seven is considered here.
However, the law of the octave is not significant only in itself, but primarily when three octaves are brought into relationship, the 'do' of the succeeding second and third octaves providing the impulses to carry the initial impulse across the 'gaps' or 'intervals' at mi-fa and si-do.
In the enneagram, the interval si-do is 'unrepresented', although in a sense, 'crossing' it represents the 'goal' of the enneagram; in the Tree, the interval mi-fa is 'suggested' or 'half represented,' that is, represented by the mysterious Daath.

Strictly speaking, the enneagram is a circle with nine points on it (_ennea_ means "nine" in Greek, and _gram_ means "line drawing").
Enneagram teachers who recommend that students return to this essence rarely understand what Gurdjieff meant, but his words make it clear that he did not have a Christian sense of God.
The enneagram practitioners, and anyone tempted to take their courses, must become aware that their doctrine must conform to Scripture and (at least in the view of the Catholic, but also to a lesser extent for many Protestants) church teaching.

 The DuVersity Library: The Enneagram
Enneagrams largely derives from articles written for the Enneagram Monthly, attempting to explain the Gurdjieffian view of the enneagram as an insight into transformative process rather than as a spectrum of 'fixations' or psychological types.
These three materials are the Intelligence, the Human Heart (as distinguished from intelligence or mind) and the World or elemental space suited for the proper action of Mind and Heart on each other for the purpose of forming the Soul or Intelligence destined to possess the sense of Identity.
FIXATIONS: As a frame of nine points, the enneagram was used by Oscar Ichazo to depict his scheme of human types of fixation, in such a way that the dynamical organising process was ignored.

 Enneagram Articles and Research
Claudio introduced a multitude of theories and intriguing ways of slicing the "Enneagram pie." Of the triads, he said the 8-9-1 was the triad dealing with ignorance or unconsciousness, the 2-3-4 with craving or desire, and the 5-6-7 with issues of hate or aversion.
In addition, the 8-9-1 was the neutral aspect of the Enneagram, the 2-3-4 was the extroverted perspective of the Enneagram, and the 5-6-7 was the introverted.
In contrast, 8-9-1, the third triad at the top of the Enneagram, is described as ignorant, neutral, insensitive, and unconscious, and as "defensive extroversion with an avoidance of inwardness." This insensitivity is perhaps a reflection of self-forgetting.

 enneagram, enneagon
The work of the enneagram authors is plainly unscientific and without rational foundation, because it is based on dogmatic formulations as opposed to the Arica system, which under any measure is logical and scientific and is based on rational metaphysical propositions and ultimate theological truth.
It is believed by some teachers of the enneagram that Gurdjieff learned the enneagram from Sufi masters, and that he was trained in the mystical arts not only of Sufism but of the cabala and Zen.
Palmer says that the "Enneagram is a psychological and spiritual system with roots in ancient traditions." She types people by fundamental weakness or sin: anger, pride, envy, avarice, gluttony, lust, sloth, fear, and deceit.

For the Sarmounis the enneagram was important as a means of divination to foretell future events as well as a tool to represent life processes, such as personal transformation.
The multiples of three correspond to the triangle inside the circle, and the decimal.142857 (derived by dividing seven into one and resulting in a repeating decimal that never contains three or its multiples) corresponds to the points on the circle that connect the six-sided figure.
Gurdjieff taught that the enneagram has the power to reveal the "timeless" aspect of any cosmic process, since the enneagram is a symbol of the cosmos (i.e., the universe itself is ordered according to the same numerical arrangement as the enneagram).

These three entirely separate sources of the intellectual, emotional or moving life of man, each taken in the sense of the whole set of functions proper to them, are called by the system under notice the thinking, the emotional and the moving centers.(Note 3)
Thus, the proper relationship of the three centers of cognition in the human being is a necessary precondition for the reception and realization of what in the religions of the world has been variously termed the Holy Spirit, Atman, and the Buddha nature.
Thus the law of three with its positive, negative, and reconciling forces is echoed in the triadic structures of music, in which combinations of three tones constantly give birth to new combinations, with certain tones in common.

The Enneagram (pronounced "Any-a-gram") is a key that opens the door to self-discovery.
The gate to understanding Enneagram spirituality is the model of the three Enneagram centers — head or cognition, heart or affectivity, and gut or effectivity — which integrates the human tripartite model of organism, psyche, and spirit.
At the core of these three centers is a built-in self-transcendence that pushes toward a broader and deeper grasp of life.

The three centers of intelligence — thinking, feeling, and doing — and why it is necessary for each to be healthy for you to live a happy life.
Presentations on the Enneagram can be of various lengths: a three hour introduction to the system, a half-day seminar, a full day seminar, a keynote with a full day seminar and a workshop of several days in length.
