What is the Enneagram?

And how can it help me in my life and work?

The Enneagram is an ancient system for better understanding ourselves, others and our world.

  • Understand Others

    Gain a compassionate lens for viewing, and responding to, the actions of others.

  • Understand the World

    Better understand our patterns behavior that may be obvious to others, yet invisible to us.

How do I discover my Enneagram type?

Finding your Enneagram type is a journey of self-discovery

That is why we offer a discernment tool and not a single test. We hope you will read through the interactive materials for each type as you begin your Enneagram journey.

As you engage with the Enneagram as a tool of self-exploration we encourage you to bring the following with you:

  • Engaged Mind

    Bring a spirit of curiosity about yourself and others. Take notes and a healthy skepticism is welcome.

  • Open Heart

    Choose compassion when encountering things that may feel uncomfortable. The Enneagram is intended to increase compassion for self and others.

  • Sense of Humor

    Perhaps the most important tool is a sense of humor. An ability to laugh at ourselves will aid us greatly on this journey of self-awareness.
