1. The ennneagram is one of the oldest theories on personality
It is actually quite interesting. Jungian and other Psy theories branched from it. Take one of the tests.

4. Take one of the free exams
And there's other websites on the internet that have more information about this. Ultimately though, it's interesting I guess but little else. I can't imagine that knowing your enneagram type would really do you much good on its own.

2. I've read about the enneagram
It's a gross oversimplification of personality theory to be sure but when you think about the fact that it has been around for so long, it's pretty interesting.
