"Each of us wears our personality like a disguies but with the Enneagram, your can strip away the mask and reveal your true self." Susan Reynolds, The Everything Enneagram Book
The Enneagram is a powerful guide that describes 9 basic types of people and their unique ways of thinking, feeling, and acting in the world. Identifying with one particular type can help us see the patterns and rationale for the way we have lived and behaved, and how we continue to live and behave.
However, merely knowing our type is not the goal of the Enneagram. the purpose is to recognize tha our personalities are no more than the familiar, conditioned parts of a much integrated, whole, and 'liberated' from our ego restraints, to find our true selves / our essence.
