For each of the nine Enneagram types, there are three instinctual subtypes. And for each of nine groups of three subtypes, there is one that is the counter-type, one that, as Naranjo says, is “upside-down” and goes against the

predominant energetic flow of the type. The counter-phobic Six is only the most famous of these nine counter-types. Knowledge of the counter-types can help with self-knowledge and selfdevelopment, and it can greatly improve our ability to locate an individual’s type. Through lecture, discussion, film clip examples, and testimonials from panelists, we will explore this important feature of the instinctual subtypes.
