Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate how Enneagram Type 2 perceives difficulties in interpersonal relationships. To achieve this goal, the Q-methodology, which is suitable for examining individual subjectivity, was used with a sample of 28 adults in their 20s to 60s who identify as Enneagram Type 2. Prior to conducting Q-sorting, a literature review and a preliminary survey were conducted to study the difficulties in interpersonal relationships experienced by Enneagram Type 2. The results were then analyzed using the Ken-Q Analysis Program. Five perception types were identified: Type I “I am not calculative, I just hope we understand each other's hearts well”, Type II “I'd rather suffer silently than express myself”, Type III “I hope we can all be happy while maintaining an appropriate distance”, Type IV “I might say things occasionally, but I feel embarrassed to reveal my innermost thoughts”, and Type V “I'll try to accommodate as much as possible, but I'm not sure if it's the best approach”. This study can provide foundational data that may contribute to the formation of healthy interpersonal relationships for individuals of Enneagram Type 2.
