The Enneagram is a personality type system consisting of 9 distinct personality types
characterized by the patterns in how one interacts and interprets the world around them,
and how one regulates one’s emotions. The Enneagram maps out the 9 types in a 9-pointed
system which illustrates the interconnections between all the types. Usually formed during
childhood experiences, the Enneagram system can be used as a blueprint for personal
growth and reflection, and help understand one’s loved ones.
