Enneagram

    Tritype

    One dominant type from each Enneagram center (head, heart, gut).

    Definition

    Tritype theory holds that each person has a dominant type from each of the three Enneagram centers, producing a three-digit code (e.g. 269) that captures cognitive, emotional, and instinctive defaults.

    Example

    A 269 tritype tends to be empathetic, vigilant, and reconciling — well-suited to mediator roles.
