I am writing a novel and trying to develop a character using the [Enneagram of Personality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enneagram_of_Personality) model. Is it acceptable to combine more than one enneagram type for a single character ? I understand that a story might be deemed "acceptable" if the readers enjoy it, but as a technique of character development, does such combining of enneagram types hinder or bolster the process ?
