The Enneagram Subtypes Development Master Post!
This table is published by Susan Rhodes, “On The Nature of the Enneagram Subtypes”. She discussed ways in which the nine types and 27 subtypes can serve as a guide to discover dharma (our path in life) and to transform in a way that enhances our ability to be of service to life.
Table A-1 “The Traditional Subtypes” is what the author complied from existing books and articles.
Table A-2 “The Transformed Subtypes” depicted the positive roles for each subtypes. The idea what transforming the negative subtype behaviors listed in A-1 would result in transfigured behaviour described in A-2.
Table A-3 “The Dharmic Subtypes” is a devising set of descriptors that focus on the kinds of challenges we encountered in everyday life, but which reflect an appreciation for the value of each subtype in teaching us specific kinds of life lessons. To add some context, dharma in Sanskrit means: “that which upholds or supports the natural law of the universe” a.k.a. that which is life supporting and in tune with the purpose of creation or living in accordance to our nature and using our full potential to the best of our abilities.
Table A-4 is a list of archetypes, life paths, and social roles.
Table A-5 is a list of words that the author associate with each subtypes.
