Style One Subtypes*
Influencing to do it "right"
Self-Preservation
(Worry):
Worried about
survival, afraid to take a risk, obsessed about
details. Others have to earn this subtype's love and support.
They engage in either/or thinking, show anger
covertly ("I was so concerned, afraid you'd
had a wreck").
According to
O'Hanrahan*
the key word for this subtype is "anxiety," stemming quite literally from
survival worries (self-preservation). Rules and structure are
paramount but attention can focus too much on "What's out of place?"
"Off-time" gets set aside in favor of working toward survival (can be overdone).
At best
gets details, plans contingencies to avoid failure
At worst
a passion for doing it right, checks and double-checks,
covertly angry
One-to-One/Sexual (Zeal):
In Spanish, “zeal” means “the animal in heat.”
The most free of the One subtypes. More Eight-like.
A passion for being righteous (vs. being right). Aggressive and possessive in personal
relationships; also may be jealous of others who
succeed, which feels safer than “I want” or “I
need.” O'Hanrahan
calls this subtype "the evangelist" because of their
often passionate idealism. According to Palmer, this is a
possessive
subtype. In work settings this will show up as jealousy toward others who get promoted,
who are more popular at work, or who are taken more seriously.
At best
ensures quality processes and continuous improvement
At
worst zealous, a passion for
being righteous, invasive anger, aggressiveness
Social (Nonadaptability):
Anger acted out through correct
causes and social ideals. Self-righteousness,
narrow endorsement of own values. Entrenched in the
tenets of the "right" ideological platform, with
uncompromising opinions. O'Hanrahan
emphasizes the importance of rules and responsibilities for this subtype.
This subtype may see breaking or even bending the rules as a failure of moral character.
They're somewhat more concerned about status than other One subtypes.
At best makes
"right" choices, applies rules/standards to target success
At
worst a passion for being
right, punitive

*According to
Peter O'Hanrahan,
the subtypes "show how the ruling emotion of our type is expressed through our
instinctual behavior." The above descriptions also draw from Helen
Palmer's The Enneagram in Love & Work and
workshops with
Dr. Claudio Naranjo.
