*The Enneagram is a personality assessment tool that categorizes individuals into nine distinct personality types, each with its own core motivations, fears, and behaviors. These types are represented on a geometric figure called the Enneagram. The Enneagram focuses not only on behavior but also on the underlying motivations that drive behavior. It is often used for personal and professional development to increase self-awareness and understanding of others.
