Welcome to our exploration of Enneagram Tri-Fixes, an intricate framework that offers a deeper dimension to personality analysis by proposing we embody a blend of three fixed types, each from a different center of intelligence (Heart, Head, and Body). This advanced perspective, building on the foundational theories of the Enneagram, allows for a more comprehensive understanding of individual complexities.

Tri-Fix Personalities

Please be aware that the term “Trifix®” is a registered trademark owned by Enneagram coach Katherine Fauvre. For the purposes of our discussion, we will use the alternate term “Tri-fix.”

Originating from the insightful work of leading Enneagram scholars, the Tri-fix concept uncovers the nuanced interplay of core desires, fears, and adaptive strategies within us. In the following exposition, we aim to shed light on the rich tapestry of Tri-fix combinations, offering a lens through which to view the multifaceted nature of human personality. Embark with us on a journey to uncover the Tri-fix configuration that most profoundly speaks to your experience.
