"According
to Enneagram theory, personality develops as a result of early childhood
experiences, and undesirable traits can be modified once they are understood
through exploration and study."

Each of us has
many maps in our head: maps of the way things are and maps of the way
things should be (values). We interpret everything we experience through
these mental maps or "preoccupation's." We seldom question the accuracy
of these maps. Truthfully, we are usually unaware that we have them. We
assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way
they should be. Each of us tends to think that we see things as they are,
that we are objective. This is not the case. We
see the world, not as it is, but as we are.
These nine personality
styles are part of a psychospiritual human development system. Ennea means
"nine" in Greek, and gram means "model," describing the symbol of the
Enneagram. The Enneagram describes these nine different personality styles
at work and their unique effect on our personal and business relationships.
Each Enneagram style or viewpoint has certain mental and emotional concerns
or preoccupation's -- our basic belief systems.
Extraordinarily
precise, the Enneagram allows us to examine the mental maps of nine personality
styles, thereby clarifying our relationships with family, friends &
coworkers. This map of personality styles provides personal direction
to maximize our unique potential.
