Chart of the Enneagram of Personality

The Enneagram of Personality divides people into nine basic types and is based on a nine-pointed diagram in which the points are connected according to a set pattern (see left). Because of the way the numbers are arranged and grouped, the following chart will start at 5 and continue around the circle to 4.
