![]() ![]() You also become more attuned to the beauty (or lack thereof) in nature. Sappy or angsty lyrics and films begin to make sense.

When events go against your tightly-held principles, your internal sense of balance ultimately faces the tipping point. How does this play out for each of the nine types? Let’s find out. You may feel like a self-imposed fish out of water, and according to Riso and Hudson, that’s because you’ve pushed your natural type behaviors to the limit and have started to act like another Enneagram type. The common theme is not feeling like your usual self. Stress can hit at almost any time: during a heated meeting, on the bus (and realizing your keys/phone/wallet is missing), when the kids are crying, or as you begin to get accustomed to a new neighborhood. This dynamic can be one way to explain the shifts in your normal behavior that you undergo when you're stressed. One promiment theory, popularized by Don Riso and Russ Hudson, proposes that each Enneagram type "disintegrates" under stress, leading them to behave like another type-in its most dysfunctional incarnation. One area the Enneagram tackles is stress. As such, it suggests specific areas for self-development and growth.
