Enneagram Type 1s Explained - A Complete Guide 

Thanks for watching y'all! And please remember to hit that subscribe button if you haven't already 🙌🙏🤍

How you know a type 1 made the video: - starts with overview of objectives - proceeds to cover each point and sub point thoroughly and systematically - “fun stuff” at the end - perfect execution!

as a 1w9 i unfortunately experience everything exactly as you describe it. outstanding description.

I didn't know how truly messed up I could be until I watched this. Thanks. I think.

As a 1, it was not a strict father (nor even a strict mother) that drove my 1-ness: instead, it was an inconsistent mother. I had no ability to guess what I would do wrong, so I tried to do everything 'right' so I would be safe. Being perfect was a way to avoid unpredictable judgment. ETA: This is not meant as a judgment or criticise of this video, merely to provide some comfort to other ones who have a childhood that led to similar trauma through different routes.

I've been watching videos, reading books & blogs, and taking tests on the topic for over a year and you're for sure in the top 3 of resources I would recommend to anyone interested in the ennegram. Keep up the good work i hope you get big on the platform!!!

You are incredibly intelligent, relatable, well versed, and beyond well spoken. I’ve mentioned to you before that out of my five years studying this no one has ever been so consistent, concise, and easily digestible. It’s truly a gift that I want to express to you I appreciate beyond words! So thank you (sexual four wings yet to discover fully)

First, I have to say how much I really, really enjoy your videos. I'm shocked you only have 2K subscribers. Your videos are possibly the very best on RU-vid that I've come across for the Enneagram. You just rock it! I'm a 1w9 and the only thing I didn't connect with in this video were your comments on the father relationship. My dad is a very playful, kind and nurturing father. He had rules and high standards but he wasn't unjust or overly strict. That being said, I think his goodness and love actually pushed me to be more of a perfectionist than if he had been a punisher or was critical of me. I wanted to be Good, Just and have Integrity because that is how my dad is and I wanted to be like him more than anything. I also wanted to show him that his love was not wasted or taken for granted. He never made me feel I had to do this; I was doing it for myself because I needed to prove to myself that I deserved such a good life and dad - especially after seeing the relationships some of my friends had with their fathers. I felt extremely luckily - maybe even unjustly so! - and thus I had to earn it by being as perfect and good as possible.

Your enneagram videos are really helpful for making deep characters in my stories.

This is the best overview of 1s on RU-vid. I’m a 1w2 and to hear another 1 describe our type is super helpful. Plus, your thoroughness and order is quintessential Type 1 and it makes me sigh in relief and smile. Not an ounce of frustration as I watch and listen. 😂 Thank you!

Hi :) I'm really impressed with the organization of your channel and the quality of the content. I was skeptical at first, because you seem a little young. But everything was solid, and you became one of my favorite resources. After working on myself some, I wanted to have better relationships with my kids but had a hard time typing them. In a nutshell, YOUR insights were the ones that clarified it for me when the Old Guard of the enneagram left me flustered and mentally flailing. You boil it down so concisely. And you're seeing something the seemingly more experienced people aren't. Is further work on the enneagram something you might do in the future, maybe research or a book? (This 5 appreciates you saving me so much misdirected time)

I'm glad to see encapsulating enneagram guides like this finally emerging on RU-vid.

By far the best, most clear and thorough explanation on the enneagram. Thank you for having made these! Now I won’t have to read the whole enneagram book type by type but can get the most important info from all your overviews. (Oh and at the end, speaking about the MCU, did you know that Thanos is also a 1? For often being perceived as goody two shoes, 1s make incredible villains (and in my opinion the best) because they think they’re in the right.)

Thank you for this video. I really like the way the video was set out and it was also very informative. The comparisons made were really helpful in allowing me to discern whether I was actually a 5 or a 1. I've watched both the 5 and 1 explanations from your series and I identify with a lot from what was described for 1s and have also scored highly for 1 on tests, but I still think it wouldn't be my main enneatype and rather part of my overall triad as I think I've grown to embody the 5 type more..

Such accurate point on integration for 1s being their wisdom (or skill, whatever it is) radiated outwards. It's like after you've put those mountains of effort into something, all the created order gifts you freedom to run on 'cruiser-control' through any obstacles on your way, when the hard work turns into means instead of purpose for its own sake

You execute your content so perfectly. Im new to all this and glad that I see your content as a starter because you really make sense of everything

Thank you. 👏I'm a 1w9 SP, just like you! Twinsies 😉You described me damn well.

I recently took an Enneagram test through work and learned that I'm a 1. I felt like my report was written by a psychic, or a little angel that's had her eye on me my whole life. Finally, I feel that I "make sense", and it's been so freeing because since understanding my archetype, I'm finding myself able to laugh at some of this stuff and carry myself more lightly. I cracked up when you said 1s are "stingy" with compliments because you're right-- I totally am. The idea of giving unwarranted praise seems like an offense against my integrity, but because my standards for everything are so high.... well, it's an amusing combination and something I'd like to reflect on.

The detail in your formatting for each of these type videos is impeccable. Thank you very much ❤

Thank you so much for this in depth analysis. I love learning more about myself and I find it so helpful accepting myself, and as a result, accepting others.

Best explanation of 1’s I have heard or read! 👏 👏

Also, your content is incredibly well made and so informative! Thank you!

As a type sp 1 the things about me that don’t fit the stereotypes (mind you right now Im at my lowest and very very stressed): Messy even though it freaks me out, not tidy which also gives me the irk, not religious at all (I used to be a Muslim, but now I’m agnostic bc no proof no believe for me), being critical with others tbh with family YES I call them out if something is morally wrong, but with others hell nah. Anyway the father one was on point you really got me there, he is physically and emotionally abusive,my mom too but never as much as him and I’ve always been terrified and angry at him, always.. And yes I sometimes find myself wanting to act rebellious, even if I feel unwell about the thing myself, just cause he makes me so mad, because it’s unfair, I never ever deserved this abuse.. THANKS, YOU EXPLAIN IT SO WELL I APPRECIATE & IT HOPE U GET FAMOUS

What an enxhauative video❤ My type one felt nourished! Thank you so much🎉

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CHANNEL, SUBSCRIBED! You are amazing at explaining abstract topic in an easy way. I have mistyped as almost every other type but 1, thought because of developed anxiety 5 or 6. But 1 makes so much sense. My father was/is neglectful and doesn't care about me or my mother. Always wanted to protect her so I have lots for quarrels with him, having high standards for him being the "right" type of father, like a father "should be". When in fact people cannot change, especially when old GCC I am and was scared of becoming like him that due to stress outside and inside home I became explosive and angry, harsh even - like him. I am scared of that. So subconsciously I have made a continuum he being the bad side, and my mother being the good side. That explains also my explosive anger at home especially towards my father. My mother has become both a father and a mother figure because of her responsibility, selflessness and hard work. I always keep myself up to a high standard which makes me pessimistic, angry and nervous lol.

Woah - this is spot on!

I stumbled upon the Enneagram types yesterday whilst trying to improve my character writing. Now I’ve been binging your videos and reading up on this. I really think this model can also have great personal applications. I’ve always wanted to have a perception that closely aligned with reality, so the fact that Enneagram types are classified as a Pseudo-Science does not bother me. I'm a Self-Preservation Instinct type 1w9 and I agreed with each description. I’m in a good mental place, after learning to ‘let go’ and occasionally letting myself know that “It’s not my fault”. I’ve traded regret and FOMO for anxiety of the future and a crippling need for security. So I still need to keep reintegrating back to 7... Wow, I just forgot how free and energetic I was… Great video, my fellow SP1w9!

Loved this video, especially your deep dive on the instinctual variants and triadic groups which most Enneagram content creators don't discuss. One thing I disagree with a bit is the childhood experience. I heard another Enneagram person talk about that it can be a really strict home upbringing OR a really chaotic, no rules upbringing (where the little one feels they have to step up and be the moral and structural compass for the family). And as a 1 that 2nd experience is definitely more aligned with what I grew up with. And I find it interesting that one of my recent new habits is yoga. Haha. it does for sure help me relax and get into my body. Thank you!

I just started exploring enneagrams. I could tell you how I approached finding my enneagram but, suffice it to say, it was in true Type 1 (wing 2) fashion. Once I landed on this video, it really helped me to embraced it wholeheartedly. For only a ~30 minute video, you did so well getting more in depth about the different aspects and variations which was the key for me! Although I winced through some parts, I was also able to laugh at its accuracy and feel a bit reassured about how far I've come the path of personal growth. Phew, it's a bumpy process lol!

Wow, I’m a 9w1 but I had a very similar experience with my type 8 father growing up. It was definitely a combination of wanting to avoid conflict but also being morally critical of him. Great video btw, I feel like Ones are that type we don’t hear very much about.

Damn. Four minutes in and this dude has me pegged from every angle. Very insightful

This was really eye opening and helpful. I had no idea that there’s a whole category of people just like me.

I like how clear, organized and easy to understand your video about type one. I rarely clicked the subscribe button for youtubers that I watched (it took me a while as I do haha) But because of your clear and organised way of explaining you got my subscription and a like! I got a Type 1 before so I watched your channel regarding type one. Now I am more convinced that indeed I am a Type 1 especially when it comes to Justice part thing and angry part section of your explanation. I understand more myself why I am into getting justice for those who deserve it rightfully and feel some anger for injustice around. Sometimes people just dont get me why I cant just forgive you know (hahahah) if they feel and see what I do, they might understand me somehow, hayyyyy.... Im a Libra and a Lawful Neutral and a Type 1 w 9. 😊

Bro this is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Helpful!!!!!! Mannnn!!!!! I'm hugging you in my mind! Thanks my guy! This is going to help me when it comes to my assignment in the Kingdom. Much much much appreciated. Aw man... 🤦🏾‍♂️

I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I’m actually a 1! After a long time of thinking I was a 9. I’ve only recently become aware of the fact that I’m actually very self critical and have limiting negative self talk.

This is so well organised... Stuff about enneagram I've literally never heard of before, too. I'll definitely listen to the whole thing, I'd like to maybe find out which one I am. And those around me too. And just know about it cos it's interesting ~

You are great, thank you.

I love that your videos are so systematized and orderly that I can do a little choreography with them: You: Disclaimer Me: tap tap tap You: OK, that's my disclaimer Thank you! You're awesome! Cheers from a (likely) fellow 1

I’m a one with a two wing and I had a rather strict and tragic past. I always felt that I was manipulative but I always blamed that on my mother being manipulative by taking away love. I’m 16, and I feel like I’ve really been on a journey to become a kind person and eliminate any manipulative qualities, and I feel like the drive to get rid of that is a plus from my perfection in my character. I’m glad my life goal is to become a better person, which includes not trying to fix people around me.

Solid.

Wow, I've been watching a lot of video's as I've been getting into the Enneagram, I think this is the best, most "Me" overview of Type 1. Especially when you talked about the environment in the home. Nailed me to a "T"! Have you made any video's yet for Type ones and dealing with that fear of letting people down? I find that is my biggest block to growth. I stalled in my own business growth because I had a few clients I "Let down", and i just couldn't handle how wrong, bad and "not good" I felt. Any resources you have on that, or suggestions for an Enneagram coach, would be most welcome

I think the best way one could gauge oneself (as correctly as possible) and the best way an instructor could help us by citing the negatives through examples ... Examples when get related to Anecdotes & empirical experiences, will "tell" the type negative or

It delves into a deeper complexity that extends beyond the scope of this discussion. Side note: I've come to understand that devout religious practitioners(myself included), through years of dedicated practice, can attain a level of discipline that renders conventional tests ineffective. Their responses are often influenced by supernatural or spiritual convictions that align with their scriptural beliefs. It becomes challenging to respond purely from a worldly perspective when one is deeply rooted in their spiritual journey. Likewise with any strong influences.

Yes meditation and bringing mindfulness to my body. In my previous experience with journaling I totally agree that I would get sucked into the internal critic voice of the story and wallow there. Now I try to dial in more to observing how my body feels and ask why....what am I denying...is there a viewpoint im identifying with. For instance why is my stomach feeling jittery (that was anxiety for me...hmm what is causing that...what do I need to do. Today that came up for me. I realized sharing a crazy idea in a work chat made me anxious. I was able to share it with one person who loved it and gave me the "approval" I needed to share it with the group. This takes practice.

I’ve been slowly researching my enneagram type 1. Have to pace myself so I don’t get overwhelmed. Which is a major accomplishment for me to even recognize! My question has to do with mental illness: are there any studies of the percentages of Type 1’s diagnosed with OCD? Having met the criteria and carrying the diagnosis at different points in my life, it wasn’t surprising to me that I am a 1. I’m curious how many others find themselves in the same situation. Had I known that I was a Type 1 and that information from enneagram research may have helped me, I would have dug into this stuff much sooner. Really appreciate your approach…you have a manner that takes the sting out of some of the most potentially difficult information to digest!

That bit about mistyping 1-w-9 as 5 was interesting. I was curious about 5 and only checked out one because of the small possibility via the wings (9). I'm still not sold, but that was an interesting specific mention

Thank you

About the countries… and ones loving clean streets and clear rules, my type one husband LOVED Japan and that seems to fit as well. :)

My mom said "Thank you so much! He nailed it."

Wow, looking forward to diving into these. I’m curious about the subtypes - is it possible to have traits of both your wings? I’m a 1 with the gift giving tendencies of a 2 but also refuse to send back food or correct people’s grammar because of my 9 tendencies.

Holy crap I feel so called out! 😅

I’m a 1 with chronic illness and disability (and lots of yet to process big trauma) so I think I lean more into the 9 wing because of that. But, when I feel a jolt of energy or I get a break from difficulty, I lean more into the 2 wing. And since I’ve been doing the healing practices of meditation, journaling, walking, reciting mantras etc. since I was a kid, I’ve managed to transcend a lot of the 1’s more immature stages. In my daily life, I think I prefer to be a blend between the softness of wing 9 and the nurturing action of wing 2. Regarding the instincts, I’m ace, but I think that’s because I have a literal medical condition that causes asexuality, but a friend who did an assessment of my type laughed about the 1 wing 9 being the trope of the asexual mad genius, implying that I fit that quite well, haha. So yah, I think it’s possible that my blind instinct is sexual, but I also wonder if that’s by design due to my health or if it would have been that way regardless of my medical condition. I’m sex positive so I enjoy sexual activity, but only with the people who meet my standards. That said, I’ve spent quite a lot of time investigating my sexuality. I have not spent half the same amount of time investigating self-preservation so I wonder if that’s actually my blind instinct (I often struggle to have material and financial stability but that could also be due to having chronic illness that puts me out of work for months on end). I think most of my energy goes towards social, but due to meditation and doing self work I’ve had to spend a lot of time alone doing deep inner work.. and in some sense, to an outsider, it could look like I have been neglecting relationships. Anyway, just goes to show that things are not what they appear to be, especially when chronic illness and disability and lots of unprocessed trauma that requires healing and treatment is a big part of one’s life. It would be great to hear more about how health problems can impact one’s enneagram interpretation and results. Thanks for making this video!

Hey, Colton! I really appreciate and think highly of your content - it really is very impressive! What would you say are some key differences between Type 5s and 1s? I’m a type 5 and would really appreciate your thoughts on this. Out of all the other types, I see so much of Type 1s in myself and am eager to understand why.

As an 8w9, I have such a hard time grasping what a 1 is vs a 9, 2 or 6, so finding out that YOU are, in fact, a 1, was very helpful - thanks.

I would have thought you knew my mother in law personally and made this just for here even right down to Switzerland, she really likes Amish people and customs and after you said that I was like … no way … and yes they are from Switzerland you are great at what you do thank you for sharing knowledge

Thanks

I sometimes wonder if I'm a 1w9 even though I behave like 5 or 6. The reason for this is that internally I am as you said emotional and the primary emotions are disgust and anger. This fuels my exterior rational critical approach to everything and has lead me to become rather cynical, jaded and disillusioned with the world. I seem to also be highly conscientious compared to others, despite me thinking that I'm not conscientious at all. One thing I don't relate to is repressing anger. I have a kind of "righteous wrath" I am proud of. I do see myself as a kind of "villain", but from my pov its more like "In a mad world only the mad are sane." Idk where my social instinct might be since I have SP Type 5 famous "castle" behavior: super introvert with a bad tendency to isolate. A wizard in a tower that functions as a bulwark against the external world.

I'm a 1w2 and I believe I pretty thoroughly identify with this type. There's only a minor trait or two that diverges from my nature and no other type feels even slightly familiar in this this way, so I feel fairly confident that it's an accurate fit for me and I haven't been mistyped. However, with that said, the childhood experience of a 1 doesn't resonate with mine AT ALL! Mine was actually much more the OPPOSITE of that description! I was cheeky and headstrong and defiant as a child and would frequently face off in a battle of wills against my mom. I was fiercely independent and curious and mischievous and had more confidence than any child has right to. I truly believed I could do ANYTHING, all I had to do was decide I wanted something and I would make it happen for myself. Truly fearless and infinitely imaginative. As for my father, I was the stereotypical daddy's girl right from the start. He was always the "fun" parent and that spoke to my adventurous spirit. My mom and I didn't have quite as much success because she entered into motherhood with a certain picture of what it would look like (I'm the oldest child) and my independence and determination didn't fit with it. She wanted a baby to cuddle and coddle and fawn all over and I refused to accept help or be held back from exploring the world. Needless to say, we bumped heads, but it wasn't anything like the strict, invalidating model of the type 1! What could potentially be the cause for this disparity? I know there's obviously endless variations to this particular model that could apply to the childhood of ones, but it's just so DRASTICALLY different from mine that it seems significant somehow....

I’m listening through all of the types and as soon as I started listening to this video, it was clanging bells ringing out - my father is an unhealthy 1. Like, holy cow, that was craziness. 😮 My father became a Marine and then joined the Military Police so he could enforce his rules of right and wrong onto others. He joined an extreme religion. Everything you said, he fit it to a T. Oh! True story: He once was driving with my sister in the passenger seat and blew through a stop sign without noticing. When my sister told him what he’d done, he looked in the rear view mirror, saw the retreating stop sign in the distance, pulled over to the side of the road, AND WROTE HIMSELF A TICKET. He then turned in that ticket to the military police station. He was the head of the military police on that base, and when the ticket went through the system, the admin came out and said, “Sir, there’s something wrong here.” “Nope, I broke the law, and I need to pay.” He paid for that ticket. My father is hardcore, pinging the meter at #1 so hard, I’m surprised you didn’t start this video by saying, “We have the perfect example of an unhealthy one” and then name my father. 😂 Btw, it was his mom who was the unhealthy parent, not his father. His father had a job away from home and was rarely there. His mother was pretty insane, and…it shows. Now I’m super curious what my mother is. 🤔 Gonna keep listening…

Very informative video! I’m kind of new to Enneagram and I currently cannot figure out if i’m a type 1w9 or a type 5w6, those are the results I’ve gotten so far. I see traits of myself on both types. Do you have any advice?

Type 1 married to a type 4 here… I feel called out! 😂

Thanks for all the useful info. Your videos so informative 🙏👏🙂 I'm definitely a Sexual One with a 2 wing.

Also, I have a question. I was in a very unhealthy home, where a certain religion was forced on me. I would believe that THAT was right, I was right, and I’m not sure if that was because of my moral based personality, or if it was just from me being, well, brainwashed. I doubt that it’s my personality for just one reason, which is that I recently got out of that home, and am experiencing new beliefs, and keeping an open mind way better than I had before.. I’d love it if somebody shared their experience

Hi!! I loved the video!! I would like to know if type ones can be lazy and procrastinators

Hey would you say you added the silly bits at the end to also reach into that 7 enneagram? And do you care about mbti? What'd you say your type would be, getting te dom vibes

It seems that U know what U speaking so here is a question for U regarding Type1: Strong desire to conquer and possibly reform particular selected areas in life is better fit for Type1 or Type3? Else? There is no rush in achieving goals and even long periods of wasting time is alowed but in long-term it is a must and some goals could be achievied very suddenly. Don't care about how it looks to others, avoiding spotlight but like the fact that have many invisible thropies. Strong perfectionism but learned that it is better done in decent way than perfect never done.

TL;dr: ☝️ I’m in my late 30s yet apparently I’m still angry with my father ✌️I’ve had too many disintegrating 3s as friends in the past and 🤟 Is there a Reddit for 1s? 🏃🏼‍♀️My dad (8w7) and at one point one of my stepdads were drill sergeants. I’ve never heard the term “angry with” used before about the relationship with the protective figure and it really resonates. Not only was he arbitrarily strict, harshly and furiously punitive, but even as an adult I’ve articulated to my dad that he never gave me the benefit of the doubt or took my side. I even said that “I was such a good kid,” My dad assumes in all situations that I’m going to be lazy, stupid, inconsiderate or malicious and attributes selfish motives to my most banal or even altruistic behaviors. I make mistakes and by no means am I perfect but I try really hard to do the right thing, the smart thing, the fair thing. I have the manners of an army brat with a drill sergeant dad ffs, I put _effort_ into _everything_ I do. This is probably why I’m so desperate to be recognized for when I’m being smart, figuring stuff out, working hard and doing the right thing, but these tend to be areas that people think I am naturally “gifted” in or don’t need to ‘develop an ego’ about. People can be resentful of traits they wish they had, sure, (tall poppy syndrome) but I don’t get why people think I need “taken down a peg or two.” I often get this from men if they find me attractive or colleagues when I achieve career success. I’ve had lifelong friends be remorseless and hate me enough to seduce a fiancé, sabotage a child custody battle, blacklist me from the industry I’m in. Crabs in a bucket? I dunno, it felt more _personal_ than that. It felt more _targeted_ than that. I have come to believe that I must’ve been too critical or too unreachable to these people and I drove them to hate me. I genuinely don’t know how I’m doing it but I’ve had multiple dear friends express absolute glee as they kicked me when I was down during the darkest times of my life. Oof, my twenties were a doozy. 30s had some bumps in the road. I’m hoping I can gather myself before the next decade starts. I teared up when you got to the part about forgiving yourself, and of course my inner voice was like LOL NO. Tbh that’s the most foggy, unknowable thing I can barely latch onto intellectually, this idea of self love. I oscillate between feeling overrun with an instant panic or repulsion when I consider what loving myself might be like. sooooooo I reckon I’m gonna try yoga, or make more art. Art helps. I didn’t mean to get so personal or so tragic with this comment, and normally I avoid that level of self indulgence, but I think this forum warrants it because we are discovering the things that make ones tick, or trying to- we are discussing it at least. I’m normally not this much of a drag. I really appreciate the perspective of a one on the enneagram bc I know I can trust you to be thorough and pragmatic and to genuinely care about the accuracy and quality of your work. I don’t know any 1s irl but I imagine it might feel something like what having a clone might feel like, you know? I can’t be certain about _exactly_ what this individual is going to do but I can bet it’ll be whatever I’d have done too (or close) Is there a Reddit for ones? I’d love to ask “me” for “my” advice on things or just any how-to guide from 1s would be awesome.

I think I'm type 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9

You literally just described my dad

Hey why you calling me out like that man😔... But seriously though, great video and good flow of the different topics you talk about 🤝

#sillyquestionssquadatack How does a 1 know what is "right"? I mean, where the system of believes come from? It cannot be just mirroring (and expanding) ideas learnt in childhood, can it? And if it comes from within, than why are 1s seen as compliant? Every true reform needs a redefinition and every redefinition is a form of rebellion. I suspect myself of being sx 1. I find compliance very difficult, almost offensive. Could a sexual instinct influence it? Another good one, Colton!

Could it be a strict mother?

Curious what you think about type one’s going through a period of rebellion and not caring if they were punished and then going back to the perfectionist ways. Maybe it was just depression haha!

Infj 1w9

This is hilarious, as a 4 myself I was in a relationship with a 1 who constantly judged me and tried to fit me in her ideal image of myself. I thought she might have been bipolar the way she flip floped back and forther between madly romantic and sexual then suddenly blocking herself off from me. The relationship finally ended because I messed up on a job interview she really wanted me to get will feels like a 1 thing to get mad about.

Watch HBO's Rome series, and observe Lucius Vorenus.

What if there wasn't a father figure? Is the father figure more in line with the "disciplinary adult" in a 1's life?

What if the father figure was actually the mother in the childhood experience, curious if this makes a difference…

For the silly sh*t section, u mentored meryl streep too :)

Captain America is EEEEASILY a type one and I'm shocked you didn't mention it

Oh my god. 😂 🔥🫢

what if you didn't have a dad though and you think you are a 1?

Omg so far I’m a 1,

My mom could be one she pisses me off not gonna lie

Nope I’m not a one! My father was amazing! My childhood was wonderful almost perfect!
