What Are Your Enneagram Personality Patterns?

"An Enneagram number does not stand by itself. It remains part of a line, part of an ongoing story..." The Lines Are the Basic Building Blocks of the Enneagram, Not the Points, by Michael Goldberg, Nine Points Magazine.

Your path to transformation involves deeply observing your connections to all nine Enneagram points:  
What triggers your desire to fix things, to focus on standards, quality, and ideals? What makes you angry and how does that show up?
  Point 1 patterns
When are you focused on service, relationships, helping? What makes you sometimes lose yourself by taking care of others? 
  Point 2 patterns
Under what circumstances are you driven to succeed? What triggers your competitiveness? When do you focus on making yourself look good?
 Point 3 patterns
What triggers a fresh perspective in you? Under what circumstances do you see a different way to make change happen? When does moodiness tend to strike?           
 Point 4 patterns
When do you become reserved, lost in your thoughts, and/or focused on gaining knowledge? Under what circumstances do you withdraw from others' emotions?
 Point 5 patterns
What leads you to look ahead, to plan for contingencies, to consider what might go wrong? When do you find yourself second-guessing your decisions? 
 Point 6 patterns
What generates great enthusiasm in you? When are you focused on the future and the possibilities? Under what circumstances do you avoid the nitty-gritty details?
 Point 7 patterns
When do you feel responsibility and/or take charge? What brings out your strength? Leadership? What are the conditions that make you feel uncomfortable showing weakness?
Point 8 patterns
