The Enneagram is a term that comes from Greek; ennea, for the word nine and grammos, for the word figure. Thus, it is a nine-pointed diagram. The Enneagram is a psychological system that classifies and explains human personalities. All human personalities belong to one of the personality types according to the Enneagram. Each personality type is useful in identifying one’s inner landscape and in understanding oneself. The Enneagram is a map of one’s present state. Understanding personality allows one to know how to overcome various obstacles in his or her life, although it may not provide all the answers. Understanding personality is a philosophical catalyst that helps gain insight and wisdom, in order to make the correct choice at any moment in life. One of the most wonderful characteristics of the Enneagram is that it can be a map that points beyond personality. People are restrained by their personalities. Fortunately, there is a key, called the Enneagram. By becoming aware of one’s presence, one can acknowledge the lock on his or her personality. The Enneagram can lead one to the spiritual world, when one transcends his or her ego.
