Nine different lenses

The Enneagram describes nine interconnected personality types, each with its own distinctive way of seeing and experiencing the world.

One way of understanding the nine types is to think of them as nine different lenses. Each lens brings its own particular focus:

What we notice, what we value, how we respond to people and situations, and what we may overlook.

The Enneagram helps us recognise the lens through which we habitually operate, while also opening up the possibility of seeing the world through the other eight.
