Enneagram: Understanding your personality to develop your style

What is the Enneagram?

The Enneagram is a model of the structure of the human person. This model translates into nine different personality configurations, nine ways of defining ourselves. Each of us has a tendency to favor one of these self-images in our lives. By studying the consequences of this choice, the Enneagram gives a very precise description of the human psyche, and enables us to explain and/or predict, with astonishing reliability, our attitude to different life circumstances. It helps you develop your managerial skills.
