Enneagram of Personality:
The Enneagram of Personality, shortened to Enneagram is a personality system with nine types. The origin of the ideas and theories are still being argued about. Many theories come from Oscar Ichazo, Claudio Naranjo, and George Gurdjieff. Oscar is a Bolivian psycho-spiritual teacher from the 1950's. Claudio is a Chilean psychiatrist from the 1970's. His ideas were influenced by George Gurdjieff and the Fourth Way tradition.
There have not been many peer-reviewed research articles on the Enneagram. It is sometimes considered pseudoscience.[1]
