What is an Enneagram?

(Besides something I can never spell.)

The Enneagram is more than a personality test. The debate of the origins is unknown, but came to the West in the 20th century. This will assist in your personal growth and it isn’t religious or spiritual affiliated. I have found it one of the more accurate and helpful pieces in knowing more about how I react and handle situations. There are 9 numbers and each number has a different way of handling their emotions and interpreting how they see the world.

Why I like “The Enneagram Made Easy” Book

This book is short, it’s easy and a fun way to absorb the intricate information of the 9 types. It REALLKY does make the Enneagram easy to understand. Their little comics and how each number perceived the same situation was a cute touch.

Why I like this guy – Josh Keefe

The good news is this video is out. The bad news is he hasn’t finished each individual Enneagram number yet. (Only 1-3 are done since this was written.) As a two, it was incredibly insightful and extremely uncomfortable in a good I’m growing and recognizing my stuff sort of way. When you’re uncomfortable (because you know the negatives are true) you know you’ve found your number. Watch the Enneagram Explain with Movie Characters

03. Try a test

This sounds legit, I mean it says Institute

Some humans get a lot of joy out of taking tests and discovering their style in that type of perspective. While free tests are fun, they may not be as reliable. It’s normal to identify with more than one number but you are just ONE. I thought I was a 4 but I’m really a 2. Take the official test here: Ennegram Institute
