What's Your Enneatype? An Essential Guide to the Enneagram: Understanding the Nine Personality Types for Personal Growth and Strengthened Relationships

Harness the power of the Enneagram to learn about yourself, maximize your strengths, and improve your relationships.

Pronounced ENN-EE-UH-GRAM, stemming from the Greek words ennea (nine) and grammos (a written symbol), the Enneagram is a centuries-old categorization tool that classifies human personalities into nine interconnected personality types.

Through in-depth descriptions and discussion, learn how to assess how you think, feel, and experience life, so that you can correctly identify which of the nine types you are.


- Type 1: The Improver/Reformer/Perfectionist (Life Strategy: “I must be perfect and do what is right.”)
- Type 2: The Helper/Giver/Befriender (Life Strategy: “I must be helping, caring, and needed.”)
- Type 3: The Achiever/Performer/Motivator (Life Strategy: “I must be impressive and look accomplished and successful.”)
- Type 4: The Individualist/Romantic/Artist (Life Strategy: “I must be understood uniquely as I am.”)
- Type 5: The Investigator/Observer/Theorist (Life Strategy: “I must be knowledgeable and equipped.”)
- Type 6: The Loyalist/Skeptic/Guardian (Life Strategy: “I must be secure and safe.”)
- Type 7: The Enthusiast/Optimist/Epicurean (Life Strategy: “I must be enjoying myself and avoiding pain.”)
- Type 8: The Challenger/Protector/Advocate (Life Strategy: “I must be strong and outside the control of others.”)
- Type 9: The Peacemaker/Mediator/Reconciler (Life Strategy: “I must maintain peace and calm.”)
