Enneagram Type Two is characterized by a sensitive, kind, and deeply empathetic nature. Twos are also highly responsible individuals with a strong work ethic who can be exceptionally persistent when they are inspired.
Reliable, loyal, and devoted, they are irreplaceable as friends and partners, and they are also excellent teachers and mentors, as they believe in and inspire the best in others.
Mother Teresa became a nun at the age of 18, joining the Sisters of Loreto, with whom she later traveled to India.
In 1946, she felt propelled to leave the convent, as she believed she was called by Jesus to make the world a better place by founding the Missionaries of Charity. She became one of the most influential figures of her time—as her organization grew rapidly—and received the Nobel Peace Prize for her philanthropic work.
Mother Teresa’s entire life is a testament to her generous and compassionate spirit typical of Type Two.
She also showed remarkable organizational skills as the founder and leader of the Missionaries of Charity. As the founder of this organization, she proved that Twos are not only great helpers and caregivers but also exceptional, heart-centered managers and leaders.
