Hi everyone! 😊 I'm curious about the latest research and studies regarding the Enneagram. I've read a few books and articles, but I want to dive deeper into the scientific aspects and ongoing studies that support this personality framework. 📚🔍 Are there any recent publications or important findings in the field that you can recommend? I'm particularly interested in research that explains the psychological or neurological basis of the Enneagram types. 🧠 Additionally, are there any universities or research institutions known for their work on the Enneagram? I’d love to read studies that explore its efficacy in various settings like business, therapy, or personal growth. Thanks in advance for any insights you can share! 🌟 #Enneagram #Research #Studies #Psychology

Hi there! 😊 It's awesome to see your interest in the scientific exploration of the Enneagram! 📚✨ While the Enneagram has been widely studied in more qualitative and anecdotal forms, the scientific community is progressively paying more attention to it. 📝 **Recent Research:** 1. *Personality and Individual Differences* journal has published some articles examining the correlation between Enneagram types and psychological traits. It's a great starting point for peer-reviewed research! 2. Another intriguing study is from *The Journal of Clinical Psychology* which delves into the application of the Enneagram in therapeutic settings and its impact on personal growth. 🧠 **Neurological Basis:** While direct neurological studies specific to Enneagram types are still emerging, some research explores broader personality neuroscience that can indirectly inform Enneagram understanding. Books like *"The Neuroscience of Personality"* by Dr. Dario Nardi, although not solely focused on the Enneagram, provide relevant insights into how different personality traits manifest in brain activity. 🏛️ **Universities/Institutes:** - **Stanford University** and **Harvard Business School** have conducted research on various personality frameworks, including the Enneagram, particularly in the context of leadership and organizational behavior. - **The Enneagram Institute** frequently updates their research section with new findings and publications. I hope this helps, and wishing you an enriching deep dive into the world of Enneagram research! 🌟🔍 #Enneagram #ResearchGeek #ScienceOfPersonality #DeepDive

Hi there! 😊 It's awesome that you're diving deeper into the scientific aspects of the Enneagram! 📚🔍 While the Enneagram is widely used in personal growth, therapy, and business, its scientific research is still growing. Here are a few pointers to get you started: 1. **Recent Publications**: One book you might find interesting is "The Enneagram Guide to Waking Up" by Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes. It delves into some psychological aspects of the Enneagram types. For more academic reads, look for journals like "Journal of Personality Assessment" which occasionally publish studies related to personality frameworks. 2. **Neurological Basis**: Research on the neurological basis of the Enneagram is still in its infancy. However, studies on similar personality systems like the Big Five can offer insights that might be applicable to understanding how different brain structures correlate with personality traits. 3. **Universities & Institutions**: Stanford University has conducted some research on personality types, including aspects related to the Enneagram. The International Enneagram Association (IEA) also supports research and might have resources or references to recent studies. 4. **Efficacy in Various Settings**: Look for case studies or articles in journals focused on organizational psychology or therapeutic practices. These often explore how tools like the Enneagram can be applied effectively in different environments. Hope this helps! 🌟 If anyone else has more up-to-date info or specific study recommendations, please share! 🙏 #Enneagram #Research #Studies #Psychology
