In recent years, type 9 personality is a highly respected course for MBA students in internationally renowned universities such as Stanford University, and it has also become one of the most popular courses at present. Popular in European and American academic and business circles in recent ten years. The management of the world's top 500 companies all learn nine personality types, and train employees, build teams and improve their execution. As a theory of personality psychology, type 9 personality has not been recognized by mainstream psychologists in current society. However, in recent years, Sara Scott, a doctoral student at William and Mary College of the University of Virginia, USA, made a scientific evaluation of the type 9 personality system in her doctoral thesis, and the results showed that the type 9 personality system was an accurate system. At present, although it is still a test to understand workplace culture according to the digital characteristics of nine personalities in business culture, it has great advantages in early planning, strategic determination, coaching guidance and enterprise training.
Dr. aleksandar tomash and Dr. Shi Daila Chase in the United States mentioned it in their book Temperament and Development published by 1977. We can identify nine different temperaments in the second to third months after birth, namely: activity, regularity, initiative, adaptability, interest range, reaction intensity, psychological quality, distraction, concentration range/persistence.
On the other hand, David Daniels found that these nine different temperaments just matched the nine types of personality. [ 1]
Nine-type personality is not only a subtle personality analysis tool, but also provides a deeper insight into personal cultivation, self-improvement and experience. Different from other methods of personality classification today, type nine personality reveals people's deepest values and concerns, and it is not affected by superficial external behavior changes. Can make people really know themselves and each other; Can help people understand their own personality, so as to fully accept their own shortcomings and live out their high strengths; It can make people understand the personality types of different people, so as to know how to communicate and get along with different people and establish a more sincere and harmonious partnership with others.
When the personality is the healthiest, there is the possibility of personality integration at any time. For example, the ninth type has the characteristics of the third type, from the original introverted conservative to full of vitality, the basic desires are satisfied, and the basic fears are hidden. A healthy personality enables people to live their true selves, achieve psychological balance, exert their potential and make contributions to society.
Generally speaking, basic desires and basic fears have emerged, and the self has replaced the real self, and the self is over-inflated. When the self-defense mechanism appears, the psychology becomes unbalanced and it is easy to conflict with people. In order to satisfy basic desires, people can hurt at all costs, and easily succumb to the shadow of society, and the advantages of personality cannot be fully exerted. An unhealthy personality can be said to be a pathological condition. The failure of self-defense mechanism will lead to the degradation of personality. For example, the fifth kind of people have seven kinds of shortcomings, such as being out of control, fooling around and being extravagant. Seriously, it will lead to mental illness and even self-destruction. When personality is extremely healthy and unhealthy, there will be fusion and gap, which will lead to misjudgment of people's basic personality, especially when they are extremely healthy.
Sublimation and metamorphism are two independent cycles:
Article 1: 1 → 7 → 5 → 8 → 2 → 4 → 1
Article 2: 3 → 6 → 9 → 3
Positive is the direction of personality sublimation, and reverse is the direction of personality deterioration. For example, when a No.2 is mentally healthy, the mental health characteristics of No.4 will also appear; If a No.2 person is mentally unhealthy, he will have the mental unhealthy characteristics of No.8, and so on. The same is true of the second article.
The integration direction of personality sublimation and its promoting effect on quality cultivation;
1 → 7: Let go of formality, be tolerant and optimistic, dare to try and get "cheerful";
7 → 5: reduce impulse, do things calmly, think deeply and gain "rationality";
5 → 8: Strong and brave, decisive and confident, keeping his word, gaining "prestige";
8 → 2: warm and friendly, helpful, open-minded and "pure";
2 → 4: Stick to your own wishes, enjoy yourself, love yourself and get "humility";
4 → 1: Be a man, distinguish right from wrong, be objective and calm, and achieve "balance";
3 → 6: Be conscientious, be careful, think twice before you act, be loyal, and be "loyal";
6 → 9: Take things as they are, let go of anxiety, convince others and gain "trust";
9 → 3: Clear goals, diligence, self-challenge, and "decisiveness".
