Ever wanted to know what makes you think, feel and act the way you do? How your way of perceiving things, your reality, might differ from that of another person's? Do you ever wonder why you behave the way you do even when know that it would better to change your behaviour.
The ENNEAGRAM, a powerful and dynamic personality system, that describes nine distinct and fundamentally different patterns of thinking, feeling and acting, provides the answers to these questions and much, much more. It tells us what motivates us, what basic coping strategies we adopt to survive and thrive and what causes our relationships to flourish or flounder. In addition, the Enneagram provides a specific path of personal development and enrichment for each of the nine types - ways to discover our highest qualities and purpose in life. The Enneagram is an ancient system. Somewhat similar to astrology's 12 sun signs, the Enneagram is a human study that places personalities in nine categories.
The word 'Ennea' is Greek for nine and 'gram' means a figure or something drawn. Hence, the Enneagram is a diagram or star with nine points representing the nine personality patterns. Each of these nine pattern is based on an explicit set of perceptual filters that determine our worldview. Underneath each of the nine patterns is a basic proposition or belief about what you need in life for survival and satisfaction. As you discover your personality type and the underlying basic proposition, you will also discover what motivates you , your coping strategy and keys to personal development.
Because the Enneagram is such a fundamental and powerful way to understand personality, it provides numerous, often immediate, practical applications for personal development in such diverse fields as education, business, intimate relationships and family life.
