I think it is the coolest thing, it is the most accurate description of personality types I have come across and the more reading I do, the more I get to understand myself & other people, the more astounded I am at how amazing it is. I cannot read self help books now without thinking "but it all depends on what type you are!!"
There are 9 personality types according to the Enneagram, we all have different levels of each in our persoanlity, and no one person is the same of course, but we all have one basic type and that type dictates what our basic fears and desires are.
I don't like being put in a box but the enneagram allows for all the differences between people and is so complex that it all makes sense...iykwim!
For anyone interested the website is www.enneagraminstitute.com. And I'd love to hear from fellow enthusiasts!
