enneagram personality types

1 serenity or anger 2 humility or pride 3 truth or deceit 4 equanimity or envy 5 detachment or avarice 6 courage or fear 7 temperance or gluttony 8 forbearance or lust 9 action or sloth

The nine points of the enneagram can be mapped into nine distinct human personality patterns. Each pattern perceives world and self in a fundamentally different way. Each pattern has a different set of distinctive talents and traps. Each has its own way of falling into imbalance, and its own way of ascending to transcendent spiritual awakening.

Although every human has all the talents and traps of all nine patterns, each of us is most compelled by the traits of one type, which is our most natural way of being.

The challenge is to avoid falling into the traps. The opportunity is to let the talents manifest in spontaneous, inspired, creative ways.

Is it like astrology?
