What Enneagram Type You are?


ABOUT ENNEAGRAM

The Enneagram Tool is a globally recognised personality typology, as a unique methodology that has been discovered by ancient Sufi and endorsed by contemporary psychologists, describing the 9 core strategies of personality life we use wrongly and unconsciously. This model helps us open our eyes and see what unconscious behavioural stereotypes we use and why.

Oskaras Ičazo (1931) presented the fixations and motivations of the ego for each type of Enneagram and suggested development paths based on 4 elements: Key  Motivations – Focus – Strength – Being.

Key Motivations is our weakness (ego) that governs us and motivates us to do what we do. Very often, personalities deny that it is their weakness, but when a person recognizes it, a new page of life begins.

Fokus on is a stereotype of Behavior that a personality constantly repeats, unconsciously believing that he will be happy when he reaches the desired result, for example. status. When a person recognizes his Behavioral patterns and inner motivation, he as if goes out of a closed circle and clearly understands what he is doing, as Gergius Gurdyowa said (1866), people wake up from sleep.

The Strength is the opposite of motivation. We have all the internal resources, but different types are motivated by different things. After Enneagram training, people are consciously aware of their Behavioral patterns, where they specifically repeat the same events and why.

Being is when people live harmoniously with themselves and others. This state is achieved when a person feels like in a comfort zone and consciously understands their behavioral patterns, where they specifically repeat the same events and why.

Personality strives to achieve what they want to achieve, or thinks something will bring happiness to them, so that there are constant events that have already been repeated, and we cannot answer why. During the training, participants will be very clear about their behavioral stereotypes and behavioral patterns. They will realize that they and their clients / surrounding people often fall into a closed circle, where fixation strengthens motivation and man can never escape from his closed circle. The Eneagram Tool will clearly show you the patterns of your behaviour and your ability to change (if you only want to).
