Question 3

What is the 'Object Relations' triad grouping in the Enneagram?

Accepted Answer

A grouping based on how types relate to their primary attachment figures in childhood

2, 5, 8

Types 2, 5, and 8 form the Rejected group, having developed strategies in response to feeling fundamentally unwanted or pushed away — Twos by becoming needed, Fives by withdrawing, and Eights by toughening up.
