Enneagram Types

The Enneagram is a complementary number system to numerology. Many people think there's overlap between the two, and when you examine the characteristics of numbers in the Enneagram system, you'll definitely notice some uncanny similarities.

However, there's one key difference: The Enneagram is self-identified, meaning you must search for the number that best fits you. In contrast, numerology associates numbers with your name and birthday—and that's where the real fun begins. The excitement comes from discovering profound insights about yourself through what seem like mundane factors.

In any case, here are the Enneagram traits below, read them carefully and select the number that fits you well. Do you find that number anywhere in your numerology chart?
