Kerstin, I’m so glad you liked this post. The Enneagram is truly one of the most helpful tools I have ever discovered. Glad you found it, too.

Hi Susan, I landed here in a very roundabout way and I realize this is an old post. But I just wanted to say that this is one of the best explanations I have seen for the Enneagram. I so wish more people would be “into it.” My previous therapist introduced me to the Enneagram and it’s been such a monumental eye opener. Thank you for this great post! Kerstin

You’re welcome, John. I use the Enneagram every single day of my life at work. And as a practitioner, I find it enormously supportive in just the way you describe–shining light on habitual patterns and thus self-liberating them. Hugely helpful.

Would love to hear how your Enneagram studies progress and if I can be helpful in any way, let me know.

Thanks for the great post, Susan. I’ve just recently discovered the Enneagram and am using it in work I’m doing with a career coach. I’m finding it particularly useful as a dharma practitioner to help shine a light on conditioned patterns and tendencies in relationship and at work.

Here’s another free online test for anyone looking to discover their type: )http://similarminds.com/test.html)

Thanks especially for the spreadsheet. Great stuff!!

I tried to click on the link http://www.susanpiver.com/2008/01/02/figuring-out-your-enneagram-number/ to figure out my number but received the message that the URL isn’t found on this server. How can I find out my number? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’d love to hear about your training in March. Is it about the enneagram in general or a particular aspect of it?

Thanks for being in touch and I also wish every understood the enneagram! Would make life a lot easier.

The enneagram is an amazing tool and I’ve been typed as a counterphobic 6. I have taken different tests and have come out as a 6 and a 3, but when I read about the types I’m convinced I’m a 6. When I read your “unauthorized thoughts” about a 6 I chuckled because I can definitely tell you all that can go wrong in a situation! I’m attending a weekend training in March with Clarence Thomson that I’m very much looking forward to.

I was introduced to this model by my husband, who has already studied with Clarence and it is very helpful to me in my life and my work. I wish everyone knew about and understood the enneagram! It’s helped me manage many relationships.

Thank you for posting about it.

How do we figure out our type? Do we just read the descriptions? Or is there a test or something that can reveal one’s type?
