	How the Enneagram Personality System Works
		In the course of teaching the Enneagram in workshops and Trainings, many people in the latter half of their lives have reported the development of their so-called "second wing." And in individuals who have been pursuing psychological and/or spiritual work, we have seen evidence that this is true.
		Once you have taken the Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator to discover your dominant type, and perhaps also the Instinctual Variants Questionnaire to further refine your understanding of the Enneagram types, you may be curious about the personality types of others.
		The Enneagram is useful because it indicates with startling clarity certain constellations of meaning about something that is essentially beyond definition: the mystery that we are.

		The nine Enneagram points can be seen as idealizations, fixations or strategies that are assumed in response to the psychological wounds that inevitably result from interactions with caregivers in early childhood.
		Each of the nine fixations that forms the basis for one of the nine personality types represents a "false self" that the child substitutes for his unrecognized or unsupported essential self to cope and to obtain love from caregivers.

		ENNEAGRAM (Taken from "The New Age: A Christian Critique" by Ralph Rath, published by Greenlawn Press, 107 S. Greenlawn, South Bend, IN 46617.) Out of nowhere, the enneagram burst onto the Christian scene and became very popular with publishers and retreat houses.

	Nine Qualities of the 'Enlightened' Being (Parts 1 through 3): the Enneagram, by John Fudjack
		Although each of the nine qualities might therefore be considered to be a unique door to self-actualization, associated with each is also a personality 'drawback', which can be described as a stunted version of that quality and an obstacle for the individual.
		My hunch is that each of the Enneagram types contains, at its core, a kernel of primordial wisdom related to advanced spiritual paths capable of bringing individuals to enlightenment (although this core may not be readily apparent, especially to individuals of a different personality type).
		And the enneagram itself could be taken as a symbol of enlightenment, a multifaceted jewel that refracts the light of realization into nine component colors, the nine types.

		If they are applicable to these phenomenon of classical physics, then the hypothesis suggests itself that the enneagram might be a map of the interaction-configurations of two interacting forces, each of which can have three energy states.
		In order to test this hypothesis, seeking evidence or lack thereof, it is necessary to consider already-developed enneagram applications, such as the personality typology, to see if underlying forces can be found which manifest themselves in three distinct states, and which can account for the observed phenomena.
		As a contribution to a more general enneagram theory, it clarifies the part explained by the Law of Three, leaving the remainder to be explained by other principles.

	Conclusion - the Nine Enneagram Types, from a Path of Realization Perspective
		In this series we have put forward the view that the Enneagram may originally have been designed to help individuals work through issues that arise on the spiritual path, as the center of personality shifts from the 'Ego' to the 'Self'.
		The 'play of opposites' in each enneagram type expresses itself in a slightly different way that may BEST be conceived as reflecting a struggle that characeristically takes place within it between the 'dominant' and 'inferior' mental functions as these are described not by Enneagram theory, ironically, but by Jung.
		In 1997, in "The Impact of 'S-N Blindness' on the Distribution of MBTI Type Across the Enneagram", we argued that certain anomalies occuring in our original theory could be seen as an artifact of how two of the four Jungian 'mental functions' (Sensing and iNtuition) are conflated in Enneagram theory and testing.

	THE GAP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ENNEAGRAM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In a sense, Nine is as vulnerable to a loss of self as Four and Five, but Nine's problem arises from the reverse situation: "flooding" rather than "emptiness." One might say that Nine lives across the street from the abyss, while Four and Five live next door to it.

		As I see it, the Enneagram diagram is not only a template for all human systems, it is also unique in the way it addresses the fundamental question of why we are driven to devise systems in the first place.
