Understanding Personality Type Three- it could be you or someone you knowThis personality type runs from failure (banish the thought!) and towards success by multi tasking, achieving their goals and looking good.

Are you charming, successful, popular and just a tad vain? You could be the three personality type.This personality type feels they're a failure unless they're producing something. This forces them to work relentlessly just to feel good about themselves. They often begin performing or working at a young age and they have the energy and focus to achieve their goals.
The talking style of the three is called propaganda - in other words they put a positive spin on everything because it's important to impress everyone. The name of their game is to impress others. If they need to talk something up they will. They're the marketing gurus who know exactly how to make things look and sound good just so we'll buy. They're the queen and king of spin. 
Their house, image, friends, spouse, job and nose job are all to hypnotize you into how successful they are.

Watch the video of interviewsSee how a Type Three thinks, talks and presents themselves. I was extremely lucky to find these three wonderful people willing to share the good aspects, the shallowness of the three fixation with humor, the pain of it as well as the joy in finding freedom.
Directors notesI've put animated golden discs throughout the background of this video clip as a metaphor for money and success as a way to highlight the success of the three fixation. I like that the discs are spinning - a reminder that the three fixation can put a good spin on anything.Enneagram/NLP/Power of Now NovelWatch the film trailerhttp://www.understandingpersonality.com/spellbindtrailer.html
I've used the metaphor of a peacock spirit to represent the three personality type Extracts from Spellbind
- an enneagram novel for children and adults.It's a magical tale with murder and mystery . . . and each of the magi are being haunted by one of nine bird spirits . . . For the three fixation I chose the peacock - efficient, successful and wants to be seen to look good (dare I say a bit of a show off?) 
The main character is Max Quigley - 12 years old and she can't cast a spell let alone a hex. But she can see that everyone has one of nine types of bird spirits . . . no one else can see them and for some reason a lot of powerful magi want her dead.Every child receives a tattoo of their bird spirit on their rump . . . Index and questionnaire from SpellbindMagi with the peacock spirit have descended from the fairies- which would explain how they get things done in triple time
Typical rump of 12 year old with peacock spirit 
Spotting the early signs in your toddler- probably president of the Kindergarten Club. They often learn to perform at a young age.- naturally looks polished and well dressed - loves to talk about their achievements and charm everyone - already knows how to dress and act for success
Gene Heritage:- efficient- talent for magically getting everything done in triple time - has a knack for success and looking good while they succeed Peacock spell to watch out for:The peacock makes the person scared of failure and obsessed with coming first.The spell can make the person vain in their desire for success. Free from the spell:No longer driven to avoid failure they can enjoy who they naturally are and do what they want instead of what is expected of them. They work with others as equals and don't need to constantly prove they are the best. They can have a life!Do you have the peacock spirit?1. Do you need to be respected?___2. Do you study hard, are captain of your team, play the lead role in the school play, your teachers love you and most of the other kids at school wish they were you?___ 3. Do you want to be the best?___ 4. Have you noticed that those who perform and look good get the best jobs and instead of feeling cynical about this, you decide you're going to play the game and win?___ 5. Do you have a cute snub nose and may already be a cheerleader or star player?___ 6. Do you instinctively know how to dress to impress?___ 7. Are you ambitious and driven?___ 8. Do you hate failure?___ 9. Are you goal oriented?___ 10. Do you get your homework done as efficiently as possible?___ 11. Do like to perform?___ 12. Do you like being admired by your peers?___ 13.

1. Have you half suspected they have a touch of fairy magic in their lives because they are so successful?___ 2. Are they confident, successful and driven?___ 3. Do they achive an enormous amount and regularly accomplish their entire list of goals?___ 4. Are they full of energy, popular and creative?___ 5. Do they want you as their child to be successful too?___ 6. Are they addicted to their list of goals and love multitasking?___ 7. Is how they appear to others important?___ 8. Do they avoid failure and won't even talk about it?___ 9. Does their success sometimes seem more important to them than anything else?___ 10. Do they believe they are what they do?___ 11. Do you suspect they are a bit shallow?___ If you answered yes to most of the questions above you may just have a parent with a peacock spirit. They really can't help their relentless pursuit of success or constant work to produce results. The spell of the peacock won't let them stop. It makes them feel that if they stop they will experience failure. Not true but that's the spell.
