Schlegel believes the real power of the Enneagram is the relational aspect. âYou can see the diagram has these lines in it.

âSo when I m feeling secure, then I start to move towards the dynamic of a type nine. Now, remember, I m a type six, that s my starting point. But the issue for the thinking types is anxiety. As my anxiety goes down, I start to look like this nine, which is the peacemaker, the harmonizer. On the other hand, when my anxiety starts to go up, then I moved toward the highly productive three,â explained Schlegel.
