As we know it today, the Enneagram is a ‘nine point’ personality system that is a vital link between the psyche and the spirit. It is a theory of personality types that is complex and sophisticated, and yet is a sensible and easily understood tool for self-discovery. The nine points represent the ways in which the nine different personality types perceive and defend their realities. All nine types are equal, as each type possesses an important view of reality.

The Enneagram types are distinguished by often unconscious motivations and preoccupations that produce patterns of perception, feeling, and behavior. These patterns can be either a gift or obstacle to the personality. Knowing one’s dominant Enneagram Type (there is a free Enneagram Test at enneagram.net) helps one to develop critical self-awareness, which then improves one’s relationships with others.

The wisdom of the Enneagram is that it shows nine often different yet inherently valid views of reality.

The power of the Enneagram is that it is a comprehensive tool that can be used to harness and transform self-defeating behavior into life-enhancing personal empowerment.

The gift of the Enneagram is that through self-discovery, one can better create and maintain meaningful and long lasting relationships.
