Girl loving the Enneagram

The Enneagram has become a popular personality test in the past few years. Never heard of it? To briefly explain the enneagram, it is a collection of 9 different personality types, each very unique. Utilizing the Enneagram in the workplace is beneficial, because knowing your Enneagram type and the types of the people you work with helps you to better interact with each other.

However, knowing your enneagram number is not meant to be used as an excuse for your actions, but rather a tool to help you better understand yourself and work on your weaknesses. Many people argue the enneagram places people in boxes, but this is not the intention. Even though two people may be the same number, they can be very different. The enneagram helps identify people’s tendencies at the very core of who they are. People with the same enneagram type will typically react in the same ways under stress, anger, fear, etc. What helps separate each individual person is their wings and their subtypes.
