Hey folks! I've been diving deeper into studying different models of personality systems particularly the Enneagram. I've come across several research articles and studies grounded on psychological analysis and various methodologies. Though some discussions have been thought-provoking, I'm curious to explore more in-depth academic resources or published findings, if any, centered around the Enneagram Model. Could anyone suggest credible research papers, studies, or authors who have significantly contributed to the Enneagram research? Additionally, are there any universities or institutions known for conducting these kinds of studies? I am especially keen on the scientific validity and empirical evidence supporting the Enneagram. Thanks in advance for sharing! 🙂

Hello everyone! 🙋‍♂️ I have been delving into the depth of Enneagram studies and the research behind it lately. While it has been recognized greatly in the psychological community as a profound tool for self-discovery and therapy, I'm curious about empirical or scientific studies about Enneagram.🤓 Have there been any case studies, research projects, or clinical studies that validate the reliability and validity of the Enneagram system? Any interesting findings that they might reveal about the correlation between Enneagram types and certain psychological traits or behaviours? Moreover, if it has ever been compared to other personality systems such as the MBTI or Big Five in a scientific setting? If anyone could share their thoughts, experiences, or even point me to some research papers, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance!✨

Also, if someone could point me towards any scientific journals or publications that regularly publish on this topic, that would be fantastic! And finally, are there universities or academic institutions conducting active research on the Enneagram? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I believe in the validity of the Enneagram, but having research and studies to back up my beliefs could solidify my understanding. 📚 Looking forward to your suggestions and thoughts! 😃 Thank you in advance!

Alrighty folks, grab your lab coats and spectacles - we're getting geeky with research on the Enneagram! The Enneagram, that fancy-sounding psychological tool you use to explain your obsession with cleanliness or why you're terrible at decision making, is backed by a bunch of nerdy studies. Researchers—people who chose textbooks over beach books—have been fascinated by it. They've been probing, testing, and validating it. The results? They're finding correlations between Enneagram types and mental health, behavioral patterns, and even job performance! So next time you blame your procrastination on being a Type 9 'Peacemaker', just know science might be backing your excuse!

Enneagram, a psycho-spiritual tool, has gained attention in academic and research circles for its profound insights into human motivations and behavior patterns. Studies focus on its efficacy in psychological growth, mediation, conflict resolution, and self-awareness. The most extensive research is on its correlation with other psychological topics like the Big Five Personality Traits. For instance, a study in the Journal of Adult Development validates this correlation, providing a deeper understanding of one's psychological profile. Furthermore, in vocational settings, it has been utilized in leadership development, team building, and enhancing corporate culture. Studies, such as one from the Journal of Professional Counseling, demonstrate how Enneagram helps understand employees' motivations, leading to enhanced productivity and job satisfaction. Despite the increasing use of Enneagram in empirical research, it is criticized due to the lack of standardization and the reliability of its testing methods. Hence, proving the validity of Enneagram across different cultures and languages remains a research challenge. Thus, as exciting as Enneagram's contributions are, more rigorous, empirical testing is required. Its potential to uncover deep facets of human motivation and behavior, however, makes future research in this field both fascinating and crucial.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the area of Enneagram research and studies. Can anyone please enlighten me about the scientific reasons behind the specific breakdown of individual personality types in the Enneagram? How is it concluded that there are only nine main types, and what research is this based on? Thanks in advance!

While the Enneagram has gained popularity in personality typing and psycho-spiritual development, its effectiveness is debatable as it lacks a strong empirical foundation. The concept originated from mystical roots, making it more metaphysical than scientific. Also, many critics emphasize that the Enneagram is difficult to verify or validate. Studies and research related to the Enneagram are limited and those existing ones frequently suffer from poor methodology or bias. The categorizations may encourage stereotyping, hindering actual understanding of complex human behavior and personality. Furthermore, the Enneagram fails to account for the personality changes over time, hence it may not be a reliable method to predict behavior or personal growth. Additionally, its use in business or therapeutic settings can be problematic considering its said lacks. Until rigorous, scientifically sound studies provide solid evidence for its effectiveness, skepticism towards the Enneagram remains a reasonable stance.
