In the Christian tradition there are seven capital, cardinal or deadly sins: anger, pride, envy, avarice, gluttony, lust and indolence. Deceit and fear are added to create the 7 sins + 2 sometimes referred to in the Enneagram personality types. Close similarities to these 7 sins + 2 can be found in Oscar Ichazo's Enneagram of passions.

Below are the 7 sins + 2 as assigned to the nine personality types. The definitions of each need clarification to match the types. I've attempted to do just that with the definitions that follow the terms.

1. Anger - resentment for having to do the right thing with little or no reward while others get away with not doing the right thing and go unpunished; also can appear as a self-righteousness in correcting things done wrongly.
2. Pride - often the feeling of being needed by or indispensable to others while under the misbelief of not needing or wanting anything for themselves.
3. Deceit - presenting a false image of themselves in order to fit in or succeed within a chosen group.
4. Envy - a longing for things that others are or have that remind them of any perceived deficiencies in themselves.
5. Avarice - a hoarding of time and resources in the belief that the world takes more than it gives back.
6. Fear - difficulty acting on their own for fear of reprisal from the authority or group in charge.
7. Gluttony - anticpation of new and exciting ideas and adventures that mask an escapism from difficulties and limits.
8. Lust - seeking excess or intensity in order to feel stimulated or avoid boredom.
9. Indolence - a laziness in developing their own personal agenda, instead looking to others for their lead.
