Hillary’s Personality Type According to Enneagram Theory

According to the popular personality theory, the Enneagram, there are nine basis personality types.  Hillary Clinton has been identified by many Ennegram experts a type “One” personality.  “Ones” are the perfectionists and reformers of the world.  They identify strongly with rationalism and idealism, hence their tendency to be involved in reform movements.  “Ones” are conscientious, hardworking people with a strong sense of right and wrong.  They often make good judges, advocates and teachers, since they act as agents of change and believe in justice.  In the process of striving to improve themselves and the environment around them, “Ones” can come across as overly-critical, judgmental, angry and/or high minded.   “Ones” often put a lot of pressure on themselves and others because they maintain high standards.  When “Ones” are unable to keep their perfectionism in check, they may suffer unhealthy levels of stress or may project it on others.  “Ones” are often valued in organizations because of their strong work ethic, ability to stay organized and focused and work single-mindedly on a goal.  “Ones” value integrity above all other values.  It is difficult for “Ones” to act contrary to their deep seated values and beliefs.  They often make excellent speakers because they speak from the heart and with conviction.    Examples of One Leaders – Aristotle, Jerry Brown, Ralph Nader, Hillary Clinton, Confucius, Queen Elizabeth II, Gandhi, Al GoreCorrelates with following Myers-Briggs types – ISTJ, ENFJ, ENTJ, ISFJ, INFJ, INTJ, ESTJ, ESTP, ENTPInformation derived, in part, from: http://business.nmsu.edu/~dboje/teaching/490_psl/step_9.htmSee www.ennegraminstitute.com for a great source of Enneagram information
