Famous Jews Through the Enneagram Lens

Here’s a speculative, respectful mapping of modern, famous Jews onto the Enneagram’s nine personality types.

Obligatory disclaimer: These are interpretive suggestions informed by documented behaviors and teachings. People are complex, and the Enneagram itself is conjectural.

Type 1:

Rabbi Avigdor Miller and Rabbi Gedalia Anemer.

Type 2:

Rabbi Aryeh Levin.

Type 3:

Chief rabbis, such as Rabbi Yitzchak Halevi Herzog and Rabbi Jonathan Sacks.

Type 4:

Rabbi Nachman of Breslov.

Type 5:

The Rogatchover Illuy (Rabbi Yosef Rozen) and Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik.

Type 6:

Rabbi Dov Landa. (Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach?)

Type 7:

Rabbi Meir Mazuz, Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, Rabbi Yitzchak Meir Morgenstern, maybe Rabbi Boruch Mordechai Ezrachi.
