Theoretical Foundation

Scientific Background & Psychometric Validity

The Enneagram posits that each individual develops a primary worldview organized around a core desire and a corresponding avoidance.

The nine types are grouped into three primary centers: Gut/Instinct (Types 8, 9, 1), Heart/Feeling (Types 2, 3, 4), and Head/Thinking (Types 5, 6, 7).

By identifying your core archetype, you gain deep insight into your default stress reactions and pathways toward inner balance.
