What is the Enneagram?
The Enneagram can be seen as a set of nine distinct personality types, with each number on the Enneagram denoting one type. It is common to find a little of yourself in all nine of the types, although one of them should stand out as being closest to yourself. This is your basic personality type. Everyone emerges from childhood with one of the nine types dominating their personality, with inborn temperament and other factors being the main determinants of our type.
Type One - The Perfectionist is principled, purposeful, self-controlled, and perfectionistic.
Type Two - The Helper is generous, demonstrative, people-pleasing, and possessive.

Type Seven - The Enthusiast is spontaneous, versatile, acquisitive, and scattered.
Type Eight - The Challenger is self-confident, decisive, willful, and confrontational.
