The Enneagram is different than all other personality assessments because it doesn’t just tell you what you do; it tells you why you do what you do.

The Enneagram is an ancient personality typing system consisting of 9 personality types, each with its own core fear, desire, and motivation. The word “Enneagram” is a compound word made of two Greek words: “Ennea” meaning 9 and “gram” meaning diagram.

What makes the Enneagram so transformative is the depth and accuracy to which it can describe a person’s personality. The strength of the Enneagram comes from not just describing what we do, but by pinpointing the core motivations behind our behaviors and habits. The Enneagram doesn’t just tell us what we do, but why we are!
