Enneagram
What is an enneagram?
The enneagram is an emotionally-focused system of personality, aimed to help people better understand themselves and others. To that end, it focuses on one’s core motivations and fears. Each of the nine personality types have their own driving force, which is centered around a particular emotion.
What types of enneagrams are there? 
Heart types depend on their emotional intelligence to understand their own reactions and connect with others.
Head types depend on their intellectual intelligence to make sense of things and navigate the world around them.
Body types depend on their instinctual intelligence to follow their “gut” to respond to threats and opportunities.
