Exploring Self with Enneagram

- Do you find yourself being introduced as (your name) ENTJ, EIE sanguine melancholic…?
- Would you want to do a personality discovery that would not end being another label on the forehead, but help you overcome the barriers that hold you back?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then you need to learn about the Enneagram!
The Enneagram is a system of personality typing that describes nine different ways of thinking, feeling, and acting in the world (In reality it goes far deeper than nine and helps define various nuances of these personality types). It helps you understand yourself and others better, improve your relationships, and grow as a person.
WHAT IS ENNEAGRAM?
Enneagram is a unique concept, because rarely would you find a modality that combines, ancient philosophies, spiritual healing and modern psychology. In current day popular practice, it is defined as a system of personality typing that describes nine different ways of perceiving and responding to the world. The word “Enneagram (pronounced any-a-gram) comes from the Greek words for “nine” and “written” or “drawn”, and it refers to a nine-pointed symbol that shows the connections between the personality types.
The Enneagram is based on the idea that each type has a core motivation, a core fear, a core desire, and a core weakness that influence how they perceive and respond to the world. The Enneagram also describes how each type relates to others, how they cope with stress and growth, and how they can develop more self-awareness and balance in their lives. It is also based on the idea that each type has a core belief that shapes their worldview and motivations, and that by understanding our own and others’ types, we can develop more self-awareness and empathy.
The Enneagram has been used for personal development, spiritual growth, interpersonal communication, and better relationships in various contexts.
