If Your Enneagram Type Were a Movie, What Would Your Main Character Energy Be?

In the movie of your life, what kind of main character are you? The calm, peacekeeping type? The bold, take-charge hero?  Or maybe the quirky, comedic sidekick? Believe it or not, your Enneagram type can reveal what kind of lead you'd play and how you can embody that movie-star energy in your everyday life.

Let’s dive into each type and explore how your unique strengths would shine on screen (and IRL).

Type 1: The Honorable Advocate

The Type One main character energy is all about saving the day by keeping things in check—whether it’s standing up for what’s right or making sure everything is just so. You have a natural drive to improve the world and make it a better place, and you’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves to get it done.

You probably see yourself in characters like Hermione Granger (Harry Potter), Elizabeth Bennet (Pride and Prejudice), or Captain America (Avengers) — all about justice, fairness and making sure things run smoothly.

If you were the lead in a movie, your plot would focus on creating positive change and standing up for what matters. To embody this energy, inspire others with fairness and humility. Balance your high standards with a little grace and remember, sometimes things don’t need to be perfect to be impactful.

Type 2: The Heart of Gold

Type Twos are the one everyone turns to for support, and your main character energy is all about being there for the people you love. Whether it’s offering a shoulder to cry on or going the extra mile to make someone feel special, you love being the go-to person for those in need.

You probably resonate with characters like Anna (Frozen), Rebecca Pearson (This Is Us), and Ted Lasso (Ted Lasso)—the ones who quietly uplift everyone else around them with their unwavering support.

If your life were a movie, the story line would be about learning to balance helping others with taking care of yourself. Show up for your loved ones, and remember that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your needs. Self-care isn’t selfish. It’s what makes you stronger for the people who matter.

Type 3: The Power Player

Type Three's main character energy is all about success, achievement and being the best at whatever you put your mind to. You’re the star of the show when it comes to hitting goals and looking fabulous while doing it. Let’s face it—you love the feeling of winning, and you’re good at it too.

You channel characters like Elle Woods (Legally Blonde), Harvey Specter (Suits), and Rachel Green (Friends)—people who don’t just succeed, they own it!

If you were the lead, your story would focus on climbing to the top, but also on discovering that true success is about more than just external validation. Pursue goals that align with who you really are, not just what looks good on paper. Lead by example and remember: success with integrity is the ultimate win.

Type 4: The Brooding Artist

Type Four's main character energy is deep, introspective and full of emotion. You crave authenticity and meaning in everything you do. You’re not here to blend in—you want to stand out and express your unique perspective in a way that resonates with others.

You probably connect with characters like Peyton Sawyer (One Tree Hill), Jo March (Little Women), and Jay Gatsby (The Great Gatsby)—individuals who feel deeply, create boldly and march to the beat of their own drum.

In your movie, the story line would be about discovering and expressing your true self while finding balance between your emotions and the outside world. Channel your creativity into meaningful projects, but don’t let the search for meaning pull you away from the present. You can be both deep and grounded.

Type 5: The Brilliant Mind

Knowledge, curiosity and intellectual depth fuel Type Five's main character energy. You love diving deep into subjects, solving complex problems, and uncovering hidden truths. You’re the one people go to when they need someone who really knows their stuff.

You’re like characters such as Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes), Bruce Wayne (The Dark Knight), and Ross Gellar (Friends)—always the smartest person in the room and ready to prove it with your brilliant mind.

If you starred in your own movie, the plot would revolve around your quest for understanding while learning to balance intellect with emotional connection. Share your insights with others, not just keeping them to yourself. You have so much knowledge—let it help you build meaningful relationships and make a real impact.

Type 6: The Trusty Sidekick

Type Sixes bring reliable, steady energy to every situation. Your main character energy revolves around loyalty and making sure everyone feels secure and supported. You’re the one others lean on when things get tough because they know you’re always prepared for what comes next.

You’re similar to characters like Ron Weasley (Harry Potter), Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games), and Samwise Gamgee (The Lord of the Rings)—loyal, dependable and always looking out for those you care about.

If you were the lead in a movie, the story would focus on learning to trust yourself as much as you trust others. Step into your own strength and build confidence in your ability to handle uncertainty. You’re a protector by nature, but don’t forget that you’re also strong on your own.

Type 7: The Party Starter

Your main character energy is all about fun, excitement and living life to the fullest, Type Seven. You’re the one who brings joy and spontaneity to any situation, and you’re always ready for the next adventure. You live for new experiences and the thrill of the unknown.

You resonate with characters like Alexis Rose (Schitt’s Creek), Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean), and Tanya McQuoid (The White Lotus)—people who know how to keep things light, fun and exciting.

If your life were a movie, the plot would follow your quest for excitement while also learning to find contentment in the present. Embrace life’s joys while also appreciating the quieter moments. You don’t have to constantly chase the next big thing—sometimes the best adventures happen when you slow down.

Type 8: The Badass Boss

Your main character energy is bold, assertive and not afraid to take charge. Type Eights are natural leaders who are always ready to stand up for what’s right and defend those who can’t defend themselves. Your strength is undeniable, and you know how to use it.

You channel characters like Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones), James Bond (James Bond series), and Diana Prince/Wonder Woman (Wonder Woman)—people who don’t back down from a challenge and aren’t afraid to take on the world.

If you were the star, your story line would revolve around fighting for justice while learning to balance strength with vulnerability. Use your power to uplift and empower others, and remember that showing your softer side can make you an even stronger leader.

Type 9: The Lowkey Hero

Type Nine's main character energy is peaceful, calming and all about creating harmony. You’re the one who keeps the peace and makes sure everyone feels comfortable, even when things get chaotic. Your steady presence is what makes you a hero in your own right.

You probably resonate with characters like Lara Jean Covey (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before), Esme Cullen (Twilight), and Jim Halpert (The Office)—people who quietly give main character energy with calm confidence and compassion.

If your life were a movie, the story would focus on your journey to find your own voice and take charge when it matters. Balance your peaceful nature with confidence in your decisions. You have the power to create peace without sacrificing your own needs—use it!
