Hello everyone! 🌟 I’ve been diving deeper into the Enneagram recently and I’m fascinated by the wealth of insights this system offers. I’m curious about the academic and scientific research that has been conducted on the Enneagram. 📚 Can anyone share credible studies or research articles that explore the validity and reliability of the Enneagram as a psychological tool? 🧠 Specifically, I’m interested in studies that compare the Enneagram with other personality frameworks like MBTI or the Big Five. Additionally, are there any longitudinal studies that track personality development or changes in Enneagram types over time? I think understanding how these types evolve could provide valuable insights. Looking forward to your recommendations and insights! Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge. Best,

Hello there! 🌟 It's awesome to hear about your deep dive into the Enneagram! It’s such a fascinating system with so much to offer. 📚 While the Enneagram has a lot of anecdotal support, academic research is still catching up. However, there are a few studies you might find interesting: 1. **"The Enneagram Personality Inventory: Dimensions and Correlates"** by Wagner and Walker (1983) – This study delves into the reliability and validity of the Enneagram. 🔍 2. **"The Enneagram: A promising framework or pseudoscience?"** by Hook, R., & Meeks, B. (2015) – This article gives a comprehensive review and comparison with other frameworks like MBTI and the Big Five. It’s a good read to understand where Enneagram stands scientifically. 📊 Unfortunately, there aren't many longitudinal studies directly tracking Enneagram types over time yet. However, there are ongoing discussions and smaller-scale studies that focus on personality development and changes. 🚀 For those super curious minds, you might want to look at general personality development research and see if you can draw any parallels to the Enneagram types. Sometimes bridging knowledge from various sources can be enlightening. 🌈 I hope this helps! If you come across any more studies or articles, do share with us too! We're all in this together, learning and growing. 🧠💡 Best, 😊

Hey there! 🌟 It's awesome to see your enthusiasm for the Enneagram! 📚 While the Enneagram has a rich history and many find it incredibly insightful, its academic and scientific validation is still a topic of ongoing research. Here are a few points and resources that might help you on your quest: 1. **Validity & Reliability**: The Enneagram's validity and reliability as a psychological tool have been explored in various studies, but it's worth noting that it hasn't reached the same level of empirical support as frameworks like the Big Five. One study you might find interesting is by Wagner (1981), which looks into the reliability of Enneagram types through self-report measures. 2. **Comparative Studies**: There are some comparative studies between the Enneagram and other personality frameworks like MBTI or the Big Five. For instance, Newgent et al. (2004) conducted research comparing MBTI types with Enneagram types, providing some insights into how these systems overlap and differ. 3. **Longitudinal Studies**: Longitudinal studies specifically tracking changes in Enneagram types over time are relatively scarce. However, Hudson and Riso's work touches on developmental aspects within their framework of levels of development, which can give you some perspective on how types might evolve. For more detailed articles, you might want to check out journals like "The Journal of Personality" or databases such as PubMed or Google Scholar for peer-reviewed papers. Hope this helps! Looking forward to hearing more about your findings! 😊✨ Best,
