Understanding the Enneagram

The Enneagram is a personality typing system that focuses on the underlying motivations behind behaviors, rather than merely categorizing actions. It consists of nine core motivations, each reflecting a different way individuals respond to their environment based on early life experiences. Unlike other personality assessments that may only scratch the surface, the Enneagram dives deeper to reveal how childhood messages shape one’s personality and coping mechanisms. This exploration can uncover hidden motivations and habits that may not align with one’s authentic self, thereby facilitating personal and professional growth.
