CONQUEROR / MAN OF ACTION

ambition

My achievements are what set me apart from ordinary people

diligence

I am ready to work long and hard to achieve my goals

assertiveness

I do not let anyone stand in my way when I have set my sights on something

motivation

Only success is admired – I do not need any extra encouragement to strive for it

entrepreneurship

I am in my element in business. I just know how to play the game

Trojka, out of all the types, has the greatest capacity for realising goals and achieving what it sets out to do. It knows precisely who it needs to impress and how to go about it. The Three knows the recipe for success – both regarding itself and the people around it. This means it is able to motivate and spur people on to types of action whose execution will certainly bring tangible benefits. To-do lists, goals and targets are something the Three needs in order to feel secure. 

At first glance Trojka She comes across as bold, self-assured and confident in her own worth, and incredibly strong. Few people realise that giving this impression to others is merely a defence mechanism. Beneath this armour, the Three hides a great deal of fear and doubt regarding their own worth, strength and abilities.

THREE is a born actor. They can play any role demanded of them by their professional environment, family or society. Unnoticed by their audience, they change masks and exhibit the set of behaviours and attitudes required by the given circumstances. There can be so many of these faces that Three stops realising who they truly are when all the masks fall off.

Achievements and success are what Trojka He needs it to feel good. Every situation he finds himself in or problem he experiences, he immediately turns into a task to be done. Regardless of the kind of activity he gets involved in, he instantly figures out the rules of the game and discovers how to leave the other players behind. 

Trojka she does not need external motivation to act. Her impaired self-esteem is masked by achievements that provide her with the admiration and respect she craves from other people. The fear of losing them is a sufficient driving force for the Three. 

HEALTHY IDENTITY
95%

The Healthy Three radiates an authentic, healthy sense of self-worth. Her actions and behaviours reflect who she truly is. She has an open heart and is able to combine the expression of her talents with humility and service to other people. She is aware of her own flexibility and is able to use it in harmony with herself. She perceives the world as full of wonderful opportunities and knows how to point them out to others. She works industriously and persistently towards the realisation of her goals, bringing out the best along the way – both from herself and the people around her.

AVERAGE IDENTITY
65%

The average Three is goal-oriented and often successful. However, it does not measure the magnitude of its achievements by its own standards, but rather is guided by the external validation of these accomplishments. It focuses on what it wants to achieve and does everything necessary to ensure its endeavours end in success. A Three in this state strives at all costs to keep up appearances. To others, it may then appear snobbish and overly focused on its own status. The Three then exhibits narcissistic, arrogant behaviour and lets others know that it thinks very highly of itself. 

Identity Crisis
35%

The unhealthy Three strives to achieve its goals at all costs. It plays dirty and does not shy away from using others to fulfil its needs. It learns the rules of the game in order to break them, paving a quick path to victory. At this stage, the Three becomes malicious and vindictive – it is ready to destroy anyone who gets in its way and hinders the achievement of what it perceives as success.

UNHEALTHY IDENTITY / STRESS / CHAOS

Disintegration
TOWARDS 9
In a state of disintegration, Type Three takes on the unhealthy traits of Type Nine. Its normal decisiveness and self-confidence give way to numbing. A state of lethargy, inactivity and laziness creeps into its everyday life. Thrown off balance, the Three withdraws, loses its commitment and resists taking any action. Challenges and obstacles that would normally motivate it to act become paralysing difficulties.

HEALTHY IDENTITY / WELLBEING / DEVELOPMENT

Integration
TOWARDS 6
In the state of integration, the Three leans towards the positive traits of the Six. It begins to use its drive for achievement to pursue the goals of a group or community that is important to the Three. It becomes more cooperative and attuned to emotions – both its own and those of the people around it. It is ready to stand on the side of truth, rather than considering what narrative to adopt to polish reality. The harmonised Three strives for authenticity and is ready to reveal its imperfections and fears.

KNOW YOUR TYPE

Enneagram

The Enneagram is a system that organises both human potential, made up of its strengths and bright sides, and its deepest shadows, flaws and frustrations. It reveals how our identity is constructed and what stimuli bring out the best – but also the worst – in us. It allows for a deep understanding of which subconscious patterns drive our behaviours, influence our decisions and either facilitate or hinder the execution of everyday tasks.

The Enneagram reveals nine fundamental personality types. Each of them is guided in life by a different motivation, leans towards different things, and tries to stay away from different things.
