| For each of the nine Enneagram types, there are
three instinctual subtypes. And for each of nine
groups of three subtypes, there is one that is the counter-type,
one that, as Naranjo says, is “upside-down” and goes against the
predominant energetic flow of the type. The counter-phobic Six
is only the most famous of these nine counter-types. Knowledge
of the counter-types can help with self-knowledge and selfdevelopment,
and it can greatly improve our ability to locate an
individual’s type. Through lecture, discussion, film clip examples,
and testimonials from panelists, we will explore this important
feature of the instinctual subtypes.
