The Importance of the Enneagram in Personality Development
The one single thing from Enneagram for me is that the personality is constructed around core fears, and it is basically just like an artificial construction of defenses. I often recommend the Enneagram not as a personality test or sort of personality essentialism, but simply as a map of blind spots that you could have. And so when you have amap of blind spots and fears and things that are difficult for your mind to engage with...you can understand how people are different from you. It's been really helpful in being able to chart where it would be good for someone to develop and why they seem to be presenting a certain defense structure.
