Can you imagine Winnie the Pooh bouncing enthusiastically up trees without a care in the world, while Piglet went over to Rabbit and started bossing Rabbit around while Rabbit shied away timidly and never dared to contradict anyone. And can you imagine Tigger sitting around all day under a pile of sticks he calls a house feeling sorry for himself, rubbing his tearful eyes and going no where while Eeyore runs around from flower to flower exclaiming that they all smell so wonderful while telling Tigger to get over his blues and look on the bright side of life? Ugh! It's all just so wrong, isn't it? The animals of Christopher Robin's Forest all have their own personalities, and they don't just trade them with each other like clothes do they? Melancholic Eeyore doesn't suddenly become Sanguine Tigger one day while Tigger suddenly becomes Melancholic Eeyore. That would ruin everything won't it?

That's why one needs a good paradigm of personalities to write a good story with good character development. You could start very simplistically with the four ancient humors, but that really only works best for childhood and anthropomorphized stuffed animals. Once you start dealing with adults you really need sometime that is much more intricate and dynamic--and the Enneagram is the only thing that can really to the job. Myers-Briggs is even more intricate topping the Enneagram's 9 personality types with 16 personality distinctions; however, doesn't have any of the dynamic movement between stressed disintegration states and thriving integration ones that the Enneagram has. That is why I say the Enneagram is the best. And it's much more seductive, because it is shrouded in mystery that I would argue is an ancient as written language itself.
In my investigations of Proto-Semitic, Ancient Phoenician, Biblical Hebrew, and Quranic Arabic, I've been shocked to find what appears to be an archetypal correspondence between the original pictographs and derived root words corresponding to the original symbols for the world's first alphabet. I now believe that the Semitic Alphabets represent hidden secrets about a past understanding of 9 core human archetypes and their personality evolution from the baser instinct up through their higher powers to unify and bless a larger human community in which they all belong. I am not going to try to prove this theory now--if any of you out their want to dig deeper I'll give you some more leads--but for now, lets move on to simply memorizing the order of the Ancient Hebrew alphabet sounds connected to the numbers they represent with the addition of the extra Arabic sound in sacred order as well added at the end of the Hebrew sequence:
__1 = "t" like in Latin,
_10 = "y" like in yoke
100 = "Q" like in Qatar
(Personality-1's Totem) t + y + q = tuque
In some sections of Canada a tuque with a brim on it, commonly worn by snowboarders, is nicknamed a bruque (a brimmed tuque). The tuque is similar to the Phrygian cap and, as such, during the 1837 Patriotes Rebellion a red tuque became a symbol of French-Canadian nationalism. The symbol was revived briefly by the Front de libération du Québec in the 1960s. It is considered outerwear and is not commonly worn indoors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuque
__2 = "b"
_20 = "k"
200 = "r"
(Personality-2's Totem) = baker
__3 = "g"
_30 = "l"
300 = "m"
(Personality-3's Totem) = golem (Adam was a golem, a person animated from the inanimate)
__4 = "d"
_40 = "m"
400 = "t"
(Personality-4's Totem) = dimity
__5 = "H"
_50 = "n"
500 = "th"
(Personality-5's Totem) = High (to the) nth
__6 = "w/v"
_60 = "s"
600 = "kh"
(Personality-6's Totem) = Vise for Khoa
__7 = z
_70 = ayin (gutterol "I" sound, means eye)
700 = dh
scythe (original proto-semitic pictograph)
__8 = h
_80 = p
800 = d
high podia
__9 = t
