The Enneagram is a model of nine personality types that looks at the entirety of a human’s existence. Type 2s on the Enneagram are called The Helper. At their healthiest, twos are unselfish, inviting, empathetic, and forgiving. They seek humility and are full of grace. Twos invest themselves in the growth of others, and they often work behind the scenes to make this happen. Therefore, I chose a leaf motif exhibited only on the back of the sock to represent their personalities visually.
