Enneagram Ones are known as hard workers. They carry around a belief that they must be responsible and that requires putting work before play.

Another Enneagram type commonly viewed as "nice" is Type 9, the Peacemaker. Type 9s are characterized by their easygoing and agreeable nature, as well as their desire to maintain harmony and avoid conflict. They often put the needs of others before their own, and they are skilled at seeing different perspectives.

Enneagram Type 7 in Brief They typically have problems with impatience and impulsiveness.

In general terms, both Eights and Threes are ambitious and competitive: both types want to rise above others. The difference is that average Eights are self-assertive and want others to give them their way immediately so they do not have to waste time and energy fighting with people–not that they are afraid to do so.
