Self preservation 8 enneagram

The Preserving Eight subtype of the Enneagram

Each Enneagram type has a core vice that influences your instinctual behavior. You channel that vice into how you go about getting your needs met, which can make people with the same Enneagram type look quite different. In this series, we’re showing how this pattern looks for each type. The instincts are three different drives that influence your feelings, actions, and perceptions. The three different instincts are Self-Preservation, Relational (sometimes called “one-to-one” or “sexual”)…

Self-preservation types are motivated by protecting themselves from the world around them in very tangible ways, and that’s how they primarily find their safety and security. Their survival strategy is to pay more attention to preserving resources…

An additional layer to the Enneagram personality model is the concept of “instincts,” highlighting the area(s) of life that each person tends to pay the most attention to. There are three instincts: Self-Preservation, Relational, and Social. Every person has some proportion of all three instincts, but there is often one instinct that is dominant (a preoccupation), one that is neutral (neither a focus nor neglected), and one that’s a blind spot (neglected). The “Social instinct” emphasizes…

What are the different instincts of Enneagram 8s, 9s, and 1s? In addition to your type and wing, your “instinct” can explain a lot of your behavior. The three different instincts are Social, Relational, and Self-Preservation. You always have all three, but they tend to fall into a hierarchy where one is dominant, another is neutral, and the last is somewhat of a blind spot. Which instinct do you lean into most? . . . . . . . . . . #enneagram #personality #personalitytypes #mbti #instincts
