Enneagram
What Is The Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator (RHETI)?
The Enneagram test is a complex system of personality typing that describes patterns in how people interpret the world and manage their emotions. It categorizes the human psyche into nine distinct enneagram types, each with its own set of motivations, fears, and attitudes towards life. This framework is used not only as a tool for personal self-discovery and growth, but also for improving relationships. While not an evidence-based modality yet, its growing popularity and self-reported accuracy is increasingly utilized in wellness development including in psychotherapeutic settings.
The Enneagram is an ancient personality system with roots in spiritual traditions, but modern development began in the early 20th century with George Gurdjieff. Enneagram types were later developed by Oscar Ichazo and integrated into psychology by Claudio Naranjo in the 1960s. The Enneagram test gained popularity in the latter half of the 20th century, evolving into a widely-used tool for personal, spiritual, and psychological development.
How Does The Enneagram Work?
What sets the RHETI apart from other tests is its multifaceted approach to understanding individual patterns of behavior. Unlike assessments that offer a static categorization, the Enneagram is dynamic, describing not only your core traits but also the directions of your growth or stress which manifest differently in you. Its emphasis on psychological motivations and intrinsic fears provides you a deeper insight into why you act the way you do, rather than merely describing how you behave. This understanding fosters empathy, and allows for you to be known to self, strengthen wellness and better relationships.
