Tri-type

There are 3 "intelligence" centers on the Enneagram. Katherine Fauvre says that even though we have one core type, we are driven by one leading type from each of these centers:

body (action) center - 8, 9, 1, coping with anger

heart (feeling) center - 2, 3, 4, coping with shame

head (thinking) center - 5, 6, 7, coping with fear

The combination of these is our tri-type.

The sequence is determined by the order in which we access them, from most to least (For example, someone whose core type is 2 could have a tritype of 258. For someone who has a core type of 5, it could be 528. For someone whose core type is 8, it could be 825.)

Work in each of the three numbers of our tri-type can be beneficial, as they can each have a significant impact on our lives.
