Understanding Enneagram Wings
What are Enneagram Wings?
Enneagram wings are the two personality types adjacent to your core type on the Enneagram circle. They represent related traits that can influence and complement your primary type, adding depth and nuance to your personality.
For example, if you're a Type 2, your wings would be Type 1 and Type 3. This means that while your core motivations and behaviors align with Type 2, you may also display some characteristics of either Type 1 or Type 3, depending on which wing is more dominant.
Understanding your wings can provide a more comprehensive view of your personality and help you recognize the subtle influences that shape your behavior and decision-making processes.

How Wings Influence Your Personality
Your wings can influence your personality in several ways:
- They can provide additional strengths or challenges to your core type
- They may become more prominent in certain situations or stages of life
- They can offer alternative perspectives or approaches to problem-solving
- They might influence how your core type's characteristics are expressed
It's important to note that while wings can significantly influence your personality, your core type remains the primary factor in the Enneagram system.
