enneagrams
Personality typing system
An enneagram is a nine-pointed geometric figure, but the word now primarily refers to a personality typology system that classifies people into nine interconnected types.
Each type represents a distinct pattern of thinking, feeling, and behaving: She's a Type 2, the Helper.
Popular in self-help and spiritual contexts, the enneagram promises insight into motivations and relationships, though it lacks scientific validation.
