Each Futurity Archetype maps directly to one of the nine Enneagram types, reinterpreting this personality system through a futures lens. By drawing on the Enneagram’s core motivations and cognitive patterns, the archetypes offer insight into how we relate to uncertainty, risk, and possibility.

The Futurity Archetypes reveal how inner drives shape how we make meaning under extreme uncertainty, our reactions to ambiguity and our gut reactions to change. The goal here is not predicting behavior or offering a fixed, over-determined prescription about your core essence. You contain multitudes! The Futurity Archetypes, like the Enneagram framework, describes tendencies and preferences to offer another way to understand the perspectives you bring.

Linking Enneagram and foresight hopefully provides a psychologically interesting way to understand how different people imagine and engage with the future—helping us navigate uncertainty more conscientiously and collaborate more effectively.
