This is one of the statements I use when introducing the powerful personality system I work with called the Enneagram.

Though we all share a bit of each of the 9 types within us, one is deeply part of our personality from womb to tomb.

Over the last 30 years the Enneagram has been gaining respect from the business community, counselors, therapists and spiritual teachers around the world. In 1993 the Stanford University School of Business began to incorporate the Enneagram into its program and the CIA uses it to help agents understand the behaviour of individual world leaders. Top Fortune 500 companies consult experts in the field and the number of books and courses available has exploded. A search on Google will result in 1000s of listings for books, teachers, typing instruments or articles.
