The book "Enneagram" provides an extensive, comprehensive, and cohesive insight into the personality of an individual based on the ancient and intuitive technique called the Enneagram technique of personality judgment and testing - based on a nine-cornered geometric figure that represents the nine types of human personalities. Each type has a detailed description and a wide-spanning knowledge base attached to it that covers everything from the general personality and preferences to the conformity and collaboration of that type with other personality types - which relationships work best and how the personality type responds to different conditions in their environment. Each human is hardwired to respond in certain ways to certain stimuli and there is a pattern of interconnected traits that can be observed in each personality, according to the Enneagram.
The book not only provides details of the personality types based on the Enneagram technique and figure, but also contains a complete background, history, and basis for that information - how the Enneagram emerged and evolved, what symbol signifies it, how one can get precise results from their Enneagram tests and what those tests are based on, the essential desires of each Enneagram type and what kind of career or relationship will suit them, and how each personality type can indulge in personal growth while discovering its own inner self. It is a complete summary that can serve as an alternative to the paid insights and crude testing methods employed traditionally.
The book can effectively convey:
- The origin, history, and background of the Enneagram.
- Valuable insight into one's own self and its inclinations.
- The instinctual stack that is an important part of the Enneagram technique.
- How to apply the technique successfully.
- The phenomena associated with each one of the Enneagram types and how different relationship choices and careers can affect an individual belonging to one of those types.
