The Enneagram is a 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 that anyone can use. The nine points represent the ways in which the nine different personality types of the Enneagram, perceive and defend their realities and experiences. All nine Enneagram types are equally wonderful or challenging, as each type possesses an important view of reality and can get hung up on only honoring their own viewpoint.
The 9 types of the Enneagram are distinguished by motivations and habits of thining that produce patterns of perception, feeling, and behavior, which can be gifts or obstacles to the ego and personality.
