“True and sound wisdom consists of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves. ” (John Calvin, 16 th century theologian) For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. (Psalm 139: 13, 14)

The Enneagram of Personality, or simply the Enneagram (from the Greek words ἐννέα [ennéa, meaning "nine"] and γράμμα [grámma, meaning something "written" or "drawn"]), is a model of the human psyche which is principally understood and taught as a typology of nine interconnected personality types.

“Every number on the Enneagram reveals and teaches something about the character of the God who made us. Though not a comprehensive list, every number reveals a facet of God’s nature. While each of us may tend to relate to or identify ourselves with one dimension of God’s character more than others, we run into problems when we ascribe ultimate value to it.

When we do, it turns something that was once beautiful into not only a grotesque caricature of itself but an idol as well. By fixating and attaching ourselves to one aspect of God’s nature above all others, we reject and trade the wholeness God desires for us for the narrow confines of our personality. ” (The Road Back to You, study guide – Cron & Stabile)
