Does a persons Enneagram type change over time?
From the time your primary type is determined, you keep it for your entire life. As we gain emotional intelligence and wisdom, our patters of thinking, feeling, and acting may evolve, but the underlying motivation and world view will remain. Think of it as vertical growth within type rather than a horizontal change of type. It should be noted, too, that we take on qualities of other types episodically when under stress or during extended periods of growth. See Wings and Arrows for more information.
