An Idealist is very aware of what is right and wrong. They try their best to be fair and want to spread equality for all.
Enneagram ones tend to focus on a specific mission or goal, and they feel it is their life’s purpose to follow it. Their behavior is very judicial, logical, and ethical.
When placed in a setting of various backgrounds- whether it be a diversity of beliefs or upbringings, a personality types’ weaknesses and strengths will be intensified.
Each Enneagram will have different motivators, since they are all driven by different value systems. Enneagram 1 personality is driven by justice and equality.

A healthy enneagram type 1 that has a firm hold on reality will thrive in an environment that allows them to create order.
The enneagram 1 is their own biggest inner critic. They have very high expectations for themselves and their coworkers. They’ll expect those around them to support their cause and work just as hard as them.

Jobs That Best Suit An Enneagram 1

Ones can create a strong sense of unity- so they are especially good at bringing their peers together and getting them excited about a common goal.
An enneagram type 1 can clash with other type ones in the work place. If they’re not both pushing for the same cause, they can quickly develop conflicts.
An enneagram 1 can be an honest and dedicated partner in romantic relationships. As long as the other person in the relationship has an open-minded personality, they should pair well with an enneagram 1.
If an enneagram one pursues other type ones, they’ll find that they won’t get along if they don’t have the same views.
An enneagram type 1 is an Idealist, meaning they have high expectations for themself and others to do what is morally right. Like a two wing, they want to help others, but it’s in a way that usually aligns with their greater purpose.
Ones have a basic fear of making the wrong choice and try their hardest to avoid mistakes. An enneagram type 1 should work towards becoming more self accepting. They should understand that nobody, not even themselves, can always meet their high standards.
Enneagram type ones tend to develop anger if they begin to lose control or are questioned. It is important to them that those around them respect their mission. If you’re working along side an enneagram one type personality, make sure you listen to their ideas.
Enneagram one has a strong sense of right and wrong. Above all other enneagram types, they are most motivated by doing the right thing. They want to make the world a place that conforms to their idealistic views.
In the workplace, a one personality will be most happy in an environment that encourages them to follow their passions. As long as this enneagram is healthy they will thrive, however, unhealthy one personality types can become obsessive and over involved.
A one personality can do a great job motivating their peers in the work place as long as those around them put in an effort. If ones feel like they’re losing control and their direct reports are not motivated they will be unhappy.
As far as their love life goes, a one personality can be a very open and caring partner. The only issue is, they struggle to overlook their loved ones imperfections and struggle to hide their anger when mistakes are made.
