Question 1

What is the Enneagram?

Accepted Answer

The Enneagram is a model of human psychology and personality theory, that is based on the idea that each person has a unique and innate personality structure, or essence, that shapes the way they see the world and themselves. The word Enneagram comes from the Greek words ennea meaning nine and grammos meaning something written or a figure. The Enneagram symbol is composed of a circle with nine equidistant points, each representing one of the nine personality types. Its origin has an ancient history. These types are characterized by a unique combination of strengths, weaknesses, unconscious motivations, fears and triggers that shape their thoughts, feelings, and actions. The Enneagram is not only a tool for understanding ourselves and others, but it is also a powerful tool for growth, self-awareness, and self-discovery and spiritual growth. It can help individuals understand their own motivations and behavior, as well as the motivations and behavior of others which can lead to more harmonious relationships, better communication, and more effective problem-solving. The Enneagram can be used to help people better understand their own personalities and the personalities of others, and to develop more self-insight and self-acceptance.
