Enneagram types?

ChaplainCorey · August 2018

Just curious, is anyone else familiar with the Enneagram? It’s an ancient personality typing system that’s coming back into fashion in some circles (mostly Christian circles, I assume) I recently read most of The Road Back to You by Ian Cron and Suzanne Stabile. I really enjoy personality stuff and always find that it helps me. I think self awareness leads to humility. I also think it’s the secret sauce of good leadership. So, anyone else familiar with it?

I am curious because I think pipe smokers are more likely to be certain types and less likely to be others. I’m a 7 in this system, the Enthusiast. What about you?

@ChaplainCorey, I've taken a couple of the brief tests online and seem to come up with either Individualist or Investigator. I do think the results depend on the depth of the test and a better test might narrow me down a bit to one or the other. In any case, it is a fun and potentially insightful way to learn about yourself.

I'm a student and a coach...and a Type 3. Great book and one of the best tools I've used in business, family and life.

Thanks for the replies @Bloodhound61 and @Mangoandy. I expected to see a few Fives but not really any Threes. Interesting. Or at least it’s interesting to three of us.
