Nine Ways People Show Up At Their Best

The basis of the nine strengths types is a framework of enneatypes—pronounced "any-a-types."

Ennea means nine in Greek.

While many frameworks articulate strengths—Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI), DiSC®, StrengthsFinder®—most focus on traits and behaviors.

Enneatypes take traits and behaviors a step further by clarifying individuals' core motivations.

When we are highly motivated to do one thing over and over, we naturally develop deep proficiency in that area.

While we each possess characteristics of all nine types, we tend to favor one primary type plus one secondary type.

Two of these nine core motivations drive each person's actions more often than the others.
