Purpose: This research was conducted with the purpose of 
presenting a structural model of predicting resilience based on 
Enneagram personality types with the mediation of adaptive 
motivational structure in students.
Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional research method 
is correlational. The statistical population of this research was 
formed by all the students of Islamic Azad University of 
Tehran province in 2018, from among them, 400 people were 
selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. In this 
research, tools of resilience (Connor and Davidson, 2003), 
personality types (Riso and Hudson, 2013), and motivational 
structure (Cox and Klinger, 1995) were used, all of which had 
acceptable validity and reliability. In order to analyze the data, 
SPSS-V23 and Lisrel-V8.8 software were used. Also, in order 
to respond to the research hypotheses, structural equation 
modeling was used.
Findings: The research findings showed that the model has a 
good fit. Also, the results showed that Enneagram personality 
types have an indirect effect on resilience with the mediating 
role of adaptive motivational structure. In general, it can be 
concluded that some personality traits such as tolerance, 
forgiveness, adaptability, hard work, curiosity and 
decisiveness in relationship can help people to experience 
higher levels of resilience and motivational structure.
Conclusion: Therefore, the findings of this research have been 
discussed theoretically and practically in the light of the 
existing research process, and suggestions have been 
presented in both theoretical and practical areas.
