Quote:

"The Enneagram 3's are very goal-oriented, optimistic, decisive people. Pragmatic, practical people as well."

"Three is in first place for being in trouble of really being a workaholic out of all of the types."

"Threes are feeling suppressed- they operate with doing and thinking, and doing and thinking."

"If not in a healthy place, it's just natural for Threes to lone wolf it, and the whole team thing kind of falls by the wayside because they are just like on this mission to hit the goal."

"Threes understand what it means to tune into an audience and shape their message around what others want to hear."
