Succession Enneagram Types

Type 8w7: The Challenger

Logan is a textbook 8w7—aggressive, dominant, and using chaos as a tool of control. His 7 wing shows in his restlessness and inability to ever be satisfied with what he has. He destroys what he builds because stasis feels like death.

Evidence

• •Dominates through intimidation and unpredictability
• •Views vulnerability as weakness to be exploited
• •Tests loyalty through betrayal and power plays
• •Energized by conflict and competition

Type 3w4: The Achiever

Kendall's 3w4 makes him crave both success and significance. He doesn't just want to win—he wants to be seen as a good person winning. His 4 wing creates the melancholy and self-sabotage that undermines his achievements.

Evidence

• •Desperate to prove himself worthy of his father's legacy
• •Image-conscious and performative in his rebellion
• •Swings between grandiosity and self-loathing
• •Deeply affected by failure and public perception

Type 3w2: The Achiever

Shiv's 3w2 manifests as charm and political skill combined with a need to be seen as the 'good one.' Her self-deception about her own motivations is classic 3—she can't see how much she's become what she claimed to reject.

Evidence

• •Positioned herself as the 'different' Roy through politics
• •Skilled at reading people and adapting her image
• •Uses relationships strategically while needing to be liked
• •Believes she's morally superior while playing the same games

Type 7w6: The Enthusiast

Roman's 7w6 uses humor as armor against the family's cruelty. His 6 wing shows in his surprising loyalty and his need for security beneath the chaos. He's the most emotionally honest Roy, which the family punishes.

Evidence

• •Uses humor and deflection to avoid emotional depth
• •Uncomfortable with genuine intimacy despite craving it
• •Quick-witted and able to read social situations
• •Anxious beneath the joking exterior, seeks father's approval

Type 9w1: The Peacemaker

Connor's 9w1 is a study in avoidance. His political aspirations are really about finally being seen by a family that ignores him. His 1 wing shows in his principled self-image that doesn't match his actual behavior.

Evidence

• •Retreated from family conflict to live on a ranch
• •Delusional about his political ambitions to avoid facing rejection
• •Goes along with family dynamics to keep the peace
• •Has rigid ideas about how things should be (1 wing)

Type 6w7: The Loyalist

Tom's 6w7 makes him the most relatable character—aware he's in a shark tank and trying to survive. His 7 wing provides the humor and social charm that let him endure the Roy family's cruelty.

Evidence

• •Constantly anxious about his position in the family
• •Tests loyalty while being deeply loyal himself
• •Uses humor to ingratiate and deflect
• •Seeks security through alliance with power

Type 9w8: The Peacemaker

Greg's 9w8 is underestimated by everyone. His 9 makes him seem harmless and agreeable, but his 8 wing emerges in his quiet power moves and refusal to be completely crushed. He survives by being useful without being threatening.

Evidence

• •Goes along with whatever powerful person is in front of him
• •Avoids direct confrontation while quietly positioning himself
• •Passive-aggressive when threatened
• •Surprisingly cunning beneath the bumbling exterior
