What is the Enneagram?
A Map for Understanding Yourself and Others
The Enneagram identifies nine personality types or nine different “lenses” 👓 for seeing and engaging with the world. Unlike other tools that only describe your traits (what you do), the Enneagram uncovers your Core Motivations (why you do what you do). Each of the 9 Types have four core motivations at the root of every though, feeling, and reaction.
The four Core Motivations are:
- Core Fear – What you most want to avoid
- Core Desire – What you strive for to feel fulfilled
- Core Weakness – The recurring struggle that trips you up
- Core Longing – The deep message your heart longs to hear and experience
The Enneagram offers clarity and self-awareness, acting as a personalized internal roadmap (GPS) for lasting personal and relational growth. It provides insights into how to grow and maintain a healthier state for your specific personality type, rather than striving to be like others.

Each Enneagram type offers a unique and valid perspective (core motivations) on life, influencing why individuals interpret and react to circumstances.Â
We often assume others share our lens, leading to frustration when their thoughts, feelings, or reactions differ from our own. However, recognizing that people view the world through their distinct personality perspectives (lens) fosters compassion, empathy, and understanding.
This awareness allows us to approach others with curiosity rather than judgment, opening doors for growth and the ability to honor and respect others despite our differences.Â
Relationships flourish when we operate with healthy self-awareness and a clearer understanding of those around us. While not always easy, this shift in perspective is profoundly beneficial.
Each Enneagram type is driven by four core motivations, which are crucial for self-discovery and understanding. One of these is their Core Longing—a profound truth that their heart yearns to experience and hear. Which of these resonates most deeply with you:
