How does the Enneagram work?

Why Should I Trust It?

The Enneagram seeks to understand one of the most complicated things in the universe...the human psyche. There are many reasons that people prefer the Enneagram over other systems, but what really sets it apart from other personality tools is that it focuses on your motivations and not just your behaviors.

The Enneagram can feel crazy accurate! It’s incredibly eye-opening when you find your place within the 9 Types (27 Types when you include the Subtypes)

You may be surprised at how well it describes you when you see yourself through the lens of the Enneagram.

It can help you put words to what motivates you, what makes you feel vulnerable, your limiting beliefs, your underlying fears and so much more.

By recognizing where you put your energy and attention, you get insight into your habitual patterns and the automatic programming running in your background.

One of the best parts is...

Rather than putting you in a box, the Enneagram is trying to help you get out of the box you're already in.

It recognizes and celebrates the natural differences in humanity and gives space for you to show up as your unique self.

A big advantage of the Enneagram is that it uses a holistic approach to describing a person.

The Enneagram Symbol is a circle for a reason. All 9 types are connected and you're a bit of each Type, with some numbers taking up more space than others inside your personality structure.

However, you lead with only one Enneagram number based on your Core Motivations and desires.

People tend to have similar behaviors and might look similar on the outside. The Enneagram helps you see underneath those external behaviors to the driving forces behind the patterns.

The Enneagram is unique to other personality tools in that it doesn’t just say, “Okay, Here you go! This is you!” And it's not trying to fit us into neatly created containers. Instead, it provides space for all the messiness, beauty, and individualism in humanity.

It explains how a person may behave and think at their best and at their worst, which allows each of us the wisdom to see when we are thriving and when we aren’t. The Enneagram is intended to be used as an ever-evolving self-development tool for both growth and awareness.
