Oscar Ichazo's Ego-Types

The Enneagram personality types were derived in large part from Oscar Ichazo's Enneagrams representing fixations, traps, ideas, passions, and virtues (collectively represented here as ego-types). The ego-types are generally labeled as abbreviations of the fixations appended to "Ego-" (e.g., Ego-Resent for the fixation of resentment for ego-type 1).

Generally:
Each fixation is remedied by an idea.
Each trap keeps you stuck in the fixation.
Each passion occurs when the virtue is lacking.

Here's an example of how this might work for ego-type 1. Resentment (for having to be perfect) is remedied by holy perfection (seeing that there's already a perfection to life as it is). Perfection (your own idea of what perfection is) keeps you trapped in resentment (for seeming to be the only one focused on your sense of perfection). Anger (at things not being perfect) arises out of your lack of serenity (accepting things as they are).
