The Enneagram is a diagram with nine separate points. This tool can be used for self-development and understanding others.
While it is entertaining to take quizzes to figure out which movie character you are, there’s something much deeper in understanding yourself through the lens of self-growth activities.
There are many personality tests you can take online to understand yourself on an introspective level. This is where the Enneagram of Personality comes into play. “The Enneagram is a typology system that describes human personality as a number of interconnected personality types.” It is not mainly used in clinical-based psychology, but the system provides a person the tools for healthy self-growth.
The Enneagram is a nine-point diagram, and each point represents a distinct personality type. “At its simplest, the Enneagram represents nine different personality types. Beyond the basic nine personality types, the system grows much more complex and includes 27 different subtypes as well as three key “centers” focused on action, feeling, and thinking.”
