According to the Enneagram, each of the nine personality types is defined by a particular core belief about how the world works. This core belief drives your deepest motivations and fears and shapes how you see the world and the people around you.
Erin Baute of Living the Enneagram discusses how the enneagram acts as a guide for each of us on our trek through life, and it can help create a map where we get to choose what serves us best at any given moment.
