What is Enneagram
Why is learning about Enneagram worth my time?
Being able to understand the basic motivations of different personality types can help you communicate with and relate to others. Everyone has innate fears and desires; we may seem different on the surface, but in reality, we are all seeking similar things: connection, understanding, support, and acceptance. When you know a bit about what makes people tick, it can help you relate to and empathize with them.

What makes Enneagram different?

The Nine Enneagram personality types describe individual behavior tendencies, motivations, and desires more deeply and more specifically than other personality frameworks. While each type has distinct differences, there are even more variations within each  of them with secondary types (known as "wings"), stress levels, and different levels of maturity. For this reason, the Enneagram is a helpful tool for personal development, counseling, and building your most important relationships.
