waveycowpar 's review for:
I find personality theory fascinating but have personally been more familiar with the Myers-Briggs model and so was interested in delving into the murky waters of the Enneagram.
I think this book does a fantastic job of outlining the origins and growth in popularity of this system of classifying personality.
The book is a counseling or psychology perspective and so focuses on the negative aspects, or areas for growth, in each of the nine types.
This focus probably means the book wasn’t as helpful for my purposes as I thought it would be from the Title. As I read each type I found aspects of my own personality in each (bar one, which someone I know is totally like).
With Myers-Briggs I feel reading the description of my type is on the nose all the way and reading other types I don’t find myself identifying with them.
I understand there is the idea of wings and those wings can be other numbers/types but yeah I feel no less enlightened having read the book.
