The Enneagram describes nine personality types, each with its own motivations, concerns, and unique way of viewing life. In centuries past this nine-pointed diagram was used by religious groups for inner work and spiritual growth. Beginning in the 70's, the Enneagram was developed by psychologists as a way of organizing a wealth of information about people and their patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. It is a valuable tool for individuals, therapists, educators, and business consultants.
