Palmer - The Enneagram in Love & Work

Point One: The Perfectionist One in Love Living with Ones: Do remember details. Ones are detail conscious. They appreciate small gestures: being on time, remembering names, proper introductions. Speak respectfully. Make sure no one looks foolish. Ask for permission. Compliment thrift, effort, and dependability. Don't expect compliments in return. Cultivate your character. Set improvement goals. Don't flaunt your achievements. Admit error immediately. Admission clears the air and prevents resentment. Bring novelty and fun to relating. Ones tend to repeat the known. Avoid power struggles. Ones need to be right. There are at least two right ways. Maintain your own interests. Ones work long hours on their own. Humor is especially helpful. Worry vanishes with gentle humor. Ones perfect relationships. "What are our responsibilitites?" "What are we learning?" "What does right relating mean?" Ethics of relating are reviewed. Scorched-earth policy. If the relationship develops a negative aspect, Ones think about calling the whole thing off. Relationships seem either black or white. Once committed and convinced, Ones dig in. Extremely loyal. Value a family. Guilt. Pleasure signals anxiety: lightning may strike if we're having fun. One at Work
