Enneagram: Nine Personality Types

<p><b>Enneagram</b></p><p><br/>We brought Enneagram to Asia outside Israel in 1999 as a PhD thesis under this authors guidance and supervision. To the best of our knowledge and belief it was the first academic adventure in Asia after Israel. No one had any inkling of Enneagram till that date except our team. To the best of our knowledge it was the first academic attempt in the whole of Asia which thus became an academic land-mark. Enneagram was brought by us as a practical way to healthy living.</p><p>The Enneagram which is pronounced as Any-A Gram ws derived from Greek terminology Ennea means nine and grammos means points. So Enneagram deals with the nine points and each point is a personality type. It is a map of human nature which answers the quest about human nature which people have long been seeking to answer almost since time immemorial.</p><p>Enneagram first surfaced among certain orders of the Sufis mystical tradition. </p><p>The Enneagram was brought to the Western world by the Russian Spiritual guru George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff around the turn of the 20th century and was further developed by the Bolivian mystic Oscar Ichazo beginning in 1960s. The Enneagram was brought to U.S. in 1970 by the Psychiatrist Claudio Naranjo.</p><p>In India to the best of our knowledge and belief it was Osho who introduced the concept and then we created the Enneagram Personality test first time in 1994. </p>
