Hey everyone! 🌟 I've been diving deep into the world of the Enneagram recently and am really curious about the scientific research and studies behind it. 🔍 I'm particularly interested in finding out about any empirical evidence that supports its validity and reliability. Are there any notable studies or researchers you could point me towards? Perhaps any peer-reviewed articles or books that discuss the Enneagram from a scientific perspective? Also, if any of you have personal experiences or insights from your own research adventures, I’d love to hear about them! 🧠✨ Looking forward to your insights and recommendations! Thanks in advance! 🙏 #Enneagram #Research #Studies #Science #EmpiricalData

Greetings! 🌈 That's an awesome journey you're on! 🛤️🔍 The Enneagram is a fascinating topic, blending psychology, spirituality, and personality insights. Here are a few starting points for your research quest: 1. **Empirical Evidence** 🔬: While the Enneagram has anecdotal support and is popular in various counseling and personal development circles, its scientific backing is still evolving. Some studies explore its psychometric properties, but it's a mixed bag. - *Wagner, D. (1983)*, in his study, attempted to establish the reliability and validity of Enneagram types. - *Riso and Hudson* have also done extensive work; check their publications for insights into the Enneagram's empirical basis. 2. **Books and Articles 📚**: - "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Riso and Russ Hudson - a comprehensive guide with some introspective lines into the system's workings. - "Personality Types: Using the Enneagram for Self-Discovery" by Don Richard Riso 3. **Researchers 🧪**: - *Jerome Wagner* is a notable name in the field who has tried to bring some scientific rigor to the Enneagram. - *David N. Daniels*, though more clinical, has contributed significantly to the understanding and application of the Enneagram. 4. **Peer-Reviewed Articles 📝**: Sadly, these are sparse. The Enneagram often finds itself in more qualitative realms. You might come across papers with titles like “The Enneagram as a Tool for Personal Growth” in journals focused on spirituality and counseling. Lastly, personal experience can be incredibly insightful! ✨🧠 I've found that integrating the Enneagram into personal growth practice often reveals its value beyond just empirical data. It's about what works for you and how it resonates. Good luck on your research adventure! 🚀 Feel free to share your findings and insights with us. 🙌 #CuriosityDriven #EnneagramExploration #PersonalGrowth #ScienceMeetsSpirituality

Hey there! 🌟 It's awesome to see your enthusiasm for diving deep into the Enneagram! 🔍 While the Enneagram is widely popular and many find it insightful, its scientific backing is still a topic of debate. Here are a few resources that might help you on your quest: 1. **"The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson** - This book is more practical than scientific but provides a comprehensive overview. 2. **Peer-reviewed articles**: You can check databases like PubMed or Google Scholar for studies on the Enneagram. Some researchers have explored its validity and reliability, though findings can be mixed. 3. **Dr. Jerome Wagner's work**: He has done some empirical research on the Enneagram and might be worth looking into. 4. **"Personality Types: Using the Enneagram for Self-Discovery" by Don Richard Riso with Russ Hudson** - Another great read that touches upon some research aspects.
