Loving and lovable, they adapt well to changing circumstances and are aware of the true self that exists beyond their relationships. They create a comfortable, safe space for others and are often considered to be a friend to many. These happy, secure Twos also have appropriate boundaries, knowing what is theirs to do and what is not.
They are generous in their efforts to love well and care for others.
Some say that elements of the Enneagram also appear in other world religions, including Sufism (the mystical tradition within Islam) and Judaism. Some trace its origins back to a Christian monk named Evagrius, whose teachings formed the basis for what later became the Seven Deadly Sins, and to the desert mothers and fathers of the fourth century, who used it for spiritual counseling.
What is clear is that it’s been a work in progress for a long time. No one knows for certain when, where or who first came up with the idea for this map of the human personality. When my grandmother didn’t know what to make of something she would say it was “novel.” I suspect that’s how she’d describe the Enneagram.
