The enneagram is an ancient system of personality development represented
by a symbol signifying 9 character orientations composed of habitual patterns
of perception, emotion, and behavior. By exploring their orientation,
individuals can identify and transcend the strengths and limitations of their
value systems and work toward an integrated worldview conducive to others'
growth.

The Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator: Estimates of Reliability
and Validity
Newgent, Rebecca A.; Parr, Patricia E.; Newman, Isadore; Higgins, Kristin K.
Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v36 n4 p226
Jan 2004
This investigation was conducted to estimate the reliability and validity of
scores on the Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator (D. R. Riso & R.
Hudson, 1999a). Results of 287 participants were analyzed. Alpha suggests
an adequate degree of internal consistency. Evidence provides mixed support
for construct validity using correlational and canonical analyses but strong
support for heuristic value.

Reliability and Validity Study of a Sufi Personality Typology: The
Enneagram.
Wagner, Jerome; Walker, Ronald E.
Journal of Clinical Psychology, v39 n5 p712-17 Sep 1983
Examined a Sufi personality typology that describes nine life strategies
depicted by a nine-sided figure called the enneagram. Devised an objective
135-item test instrument to differentiate the nine styles, and obtained positive
results. Enneagram typology may have diagnostic, prognostic, and heuristic
value for studying personality structure and dynamics.

Eight Illustration
Tapp, Karen; Engebretson, Ken
Journal of Creativity in Mental Health, v5 n1 p65-72 2010
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how mental health practitioners
can use the Enneagram's system of human personality development as a
source of insight and a tool for personality transformation. The article provides
an introduction to the Enneagram and its orientation to personality types and
defines a linear process of how to use the Enneagram with clients. Mental
health practitioners can use the Enneagram to help clients develop a deeper
understanding of their personality styles and those of others to move forward
with needed cognitive and behavioral changes, thereby effectuating
productive relational change.

Developmental Relational Counseling: A Model for Self-Understanding
in Relation to Others
Duffey, Thelma; Haberstroh, Shane
Journal of Creativity in Mental Health, v7 n3 p263-271 2012
Developmental relational counseling (DRC) is an integrative framework
designed to help clients develop personal awareness and relational
functioning and conceptualize personal growth. DRC emerged from both
authors' clinical work and was significantly influenced by relational-cultural
theory and guided by the Enneagram personality typology and cognitive and
narrative therapies. DRC provides a roadmap for understanding the dynamics
of personal awareness and relational functioning.

Synthesizing the Enneagram through Music
Louden-Gerber, Gwen; Duffey, Thelma
Journal of Creativity in Mental Health, v3 n3 p319-329 Oct 2008
This article describes a creative intervention used in an independent study
course which focused on Enneagram studies. In addition to extensive reading,
writing, discussion, and reflection at weekly meetings, one assignment for the
course involved the compilation of songs that depict the core motivations,
fears, and desires for each type. Utilizing contemporary songs to describe
Enneagram type presentation provides students with an opportunity to focus
on each type's core traits and challenges. Undergoing the process of song
selection and elimination in and of itself tests the student's overarching
understanding of the Enneagram typology. Creating a final product (i.e., a
recorded selection of songs for each type) helps provide an additional
medium from which to integrate this heavily nuanced material. Ultimately,
each song seeks to create a personal voice in which individual type begins to
surface in a more intimate manner. In this article, the authors provide a brief
introduction to the "Enneagram personality," in addition to ways in which
music can be used to facilitate an understanding of personality type within
counselor education. The authors also provide an example of possible songs
that can reflect each type's essential challenges, and possibilities for
transformation.

The Soul of Teaching and Professional Learning: An Appreciative
Inquiry into the Enneagram of Reflective Practice
Luckcock, Tim
Educational Action Research, v15 n1 p127-145 Mar 2007
This paper makes a contribution to the theory and practice of educational
action research by introducing two theoretical and methodological resources
as part of a personal review of sustained professional experience:
"appreciative inquiry" and the "enneagram". It is more than a theoretical
exercise, however, because it also constitutes an action-oriented reflection on
the transitional nature of the author's professional situation, moving from work
as a school-based primary school teacher and head teacher to work as a
consultant. It is thus a distillation of past experience and a vision of how
professional learning might be supported in the future. In the first part,
appreciative inquiry is introduced as an associated form of action research
methodology that follows four successive stages of discovery, dream, design
and destiny around an affirmative topic choice. The author then explains his
choice of the enneagram as a useful life-affirming tool for self-understanding
in personal and professional development and how it might be used to
stimulate reflexive awareness of the inner work of teaching. Thirdly, in the
discovery stage, the author uses the enneagram to engage in a sequence of
nine short mediations that seek to appreciate the positive core of teaching
from the inside and celebrate the intimate experience of teaching according to
nine distinct modes of consciousness. Fourthly, the author builds on the range
of teaching strengths revealed by the enneagram by engaging in the dream
stage of appreciative inquiry that evokes an imaginative envisioning of the
kind of reflective practice the world is calling for from teachers. Finally, the
author concludes by looking ahead to the design and destiny stages,
reflecting on the need to explore the implications of the inquiry for systematic
forms of practitioner research and appropriate kinds of tutorial support for
professional learning.

Abstract:
The article reviews three studies on the enneagram, a nine-sided
figure. It cites two reasons for why solid research on the subject is
important which are to help to justify the use of the diagram and to
prove that believers in the figure do not lose its really in idiosyncratic
interpretations or conjecture. It presents a summary of the
enneagram type scores on five traits such as extraversion,
agreeableness and conscientiousness.

Abstract:
The article presents a study which proves the accuracy of general
references to the creative problem solving styles of
the Enneagram types found in its most authoritative descriptions. The
researchers explore the validity of the descriptions by the use of the
Kirton Adaptation-Innovation (KAI) inventory on 124 persons with
Enneagram types that are highly accurate. The results proved to be
statistically significant in which most findings support
the Enneagram descriptions.

Abstract:
The article presents a study on the relationship between maladaptive
schemas and Enneagram styles. Cognitive psychotherapy is an
effective approach in assessing and changing how a person responds
to the world, and its concept of maladaptive schemas occur when they
distort reality. The different lifetraps that affect the perception of a
person include abandonment, dependence and subjugation. The study
used questionnaires to assess the correlation
between Enneagram styles and the lifetraps.

Abstract:
The Enneagram is a personality typology staling that there are nine
basic types of personality, each represented by a different number from
one to nine. According to Riso (1987), in addition to being one basic
type, people also have a wing of (i.e. possess traits of) one of the two
types represented by a number adjacent to that representing the basic
type. If Riso's argument is correct, people presented with brief
descriptions of the nine types should perceive maximal similarity
between types which are represented by adjacent numbers. This
hypothesis was examined in the present study, but was not supported.

Abstract:
The article discusses the correlations between the nine styles of
the enneagram and the eight personality patterns proposed by
personality theorist Theodore Millon. It mentions that a typology was
devised by Millon to define eight personality patterns and the
formulation of those matches the enneagram conception of the
development of ego-fixations in different ways. It presents a study
conducted by the author which found significant correlations between
the two variables.
