Unproductive Uses: Overanalyses; Projection, this is imagination that someone else is thinking, feeling, or doing something that is actually true of oneself.; Over planning.
Three of the nine Enneagram styles are called Head Centre styles – fives: Withdraw from fear of intrusion and loss of energy by trying to depend solely on their own resources; gather abundant information to analyse for the purpose of understanding how everything works: sixes; Develop continuous anticipatory scenarios in order to overcome potential problems and reduce their fear that something could go wrong and /or headlong into fearful situations to prove their own courage:, and sevens; Move away from fear, sadness and discomfort by imagining positive futures possibilities and by generating exciting ideas rather that feeling fearful or uncomfortable.
They engage in extensive mental analysis : Value facts, information, and ideas; and share a
common concern about safety and trust response to the emotion associated with the Head
Centre – fear, the imagining that something negative could happen.

Unproductive Uses: Emotional manipulation, is using emotional information to get an individual to do something he or she might not otherwise agree to do: Playing roles: Oversensitivity.
Three of the nine Enneagram styles are called Heart Centre Styles – Twos; Create an image of being likable, generous, and concerned for other people then look to others for affirmation on their self-worth: Threes; Create an image of self-confidence and success, then seek the respect and admiration of others for what they accomplish:, and Fours; Crate an image of being unique, special and different, then use their emotional sensitivity to avoid feeling not good enough. They want others to respond to them in a specific ways and create and image to get the desired response.
