The Enneagram is a dynamic map of human personality that reveals how we organize experience and find meaning in our lives. It describes nine distinct patterns of attitude and behavior and reveals the reasons why we think and behave the way we do. Using knowledge of the nine personality styles of the Enneagram can provide a foundation for a better understanding of ourselves as well as how to have healthy relationships by understanding the needs and perspectives of the ones we love.

The Enneagram symbol is a circle with nine points connected in a distinctive pattern of intersecting lines. It is an ancient symbol that describes the path of self-development. Within each Type are healthy, average, and unhealthy patterns, and no one Type is better than any other.

The Enneagram Institute of Central Ohio offers seminars, master classes, consultation, and personal coaching services to help people use the Enneagram for personal and professional development. We work with individuals and couples who recognize a desire for deeper meaning in their lives as well as people in business settings, healthcare organizations, universities and communities to promote more effective ways of working that are built on a deep understanding of human nature.

The Enneagram Institute of Central Ohio is affiliated with internationally recognized Enneagram experts Don Riso and Russ Hudson and the Enneagram Institute of New York City. The names of the Enneagram Types used here come from Riso and Hudson's best-selling books, including The Wisdom of the Enneagram.
