Overview

Enneagram Type Three, often referred to as "The Achiever," or "The Performer," has a personality type characterized by a strong desire for success, recognition, and accomplishment. They tend to be driven, ambitious individuals who excel in setting and pursuing goals.

Type Threes have a natural ability to adapt to various situations and can present themselves in ways that are most likely to garner approval and admiration. They are often seen as confident, charming, and charismatic individuals who thrive in competitive environments and are motivated to achieve the highest levels of success in their chosen fields.

While Threes are often successful in their pursuits, their focus on external validation and accomplishments can lead to a disconnection from their true selves. They may struggle with identifying their authentic desires and emotions and have a tendency to prioritize their goals and achievements over personal connections.

Paradoxically, when Type Threes learn to relax their drive for success and being seen as the best, self-awareness and self-acceptance arises. They start to embrace their authentic selves and understand that their worth is not tied to accomplishments or how other people see them. Then Threes naturally inspire others to do their best and are productive, caring individuals who value themselves and others for who they are, not just what they do.
