The Coaching of Anticipation II: The Enneagram and Dynamics of Anticipation

W Bergquist 2025

As we consider the Internal state that influences anticipation, the matter of personality will inevitably emerge. Personality plays a major role in determining the schema we apply to the world in which we act. As I have noted, the psychosocial template (and the somatic template) are important elements of the schema. While the schema (and personality) represents relatively stable components of the human psyche, the templates do shift constantly (or at least frequently) in our dynamic, mid-21st-century environment. While the polystatic process tends to focus on the shifting conditions of our internal and external world, it is important to acknowledge and seek a full understanding and appreciation of the role played by Personality in the psychology of anticipation.
