Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Enneagram?

The Enneagram is a personality model that divides people into nine unique types. Each type has its own strengths, challenges, and motivations. The name comes from Greek words: ennea (nine) and grammos (figure). It further nuances each type with the use of tri-ads, subtypes and dominant wings leading to a rich and textured understanding of your own inner workings.

  • A Tool for Understanding: It shows why you think, feel, and act in certain ways and highlights patterns of habit, making it much easier for you to recognise them in the future!
  • It's not a Box: If anything, we as individuals are already in self imposed boxes! The Enneagram helps you to understand exactly how that box is decorated and what and how you can change if you feel you need to!
  • Ancient Roots: The Enneagram has been around for centuries and has been carried forward from generation to generation in the narrative form. It has however only been in the past few decades that sophisticated typing questionnaires have been developed and arguably the iEQ9 typing tool is the most accurate in the world.

It should be noted that the Enneagram is an open system that does not "box people in" but is rather a journey of self-discovery.

The Enneagram is a type of personality profile differing from others in that it offers insight into an individual's core gifts, motivations, fears and defense mechanisms.

Why use the Enneagram?

The Enneagram helps you:

  • Know Yourself: Discover your core motivations and subsequent patterns of behaviour.
  • Improve Relationships: Understand others’ behaviours to communicate better.
  • Grow Personally: Learn how to manage stress and make better choices.
  • Boost Self-Awareness: Recognize what drives you and how to be your best self.
  • Improve communication: The basis for solid relationships, be it personal or business
  • Manage conflict more constructively: Through recognising our internal narratives we manage to negotiate from a position of confidence.

How Does the Enneagram Work?

Through recognition of core motivation, we get to recognise:

  • Nine Personality Types: Each type has unique traits and ways of seeing the world.
  • Three Centers of Intelligence: It is in the balance of thinking, feeling and doing, that we enjoy a better quality of life.
  • Wings and Subtypes: These add depth and nuance to our dominant type, shining the light on our unique style, even within a core type.
  • A Path to Growth: It reveals what holds you back and how to reach your full potential.
