Hello! 👋 It’s fantastic that you're delving into the Enneagram! 📚🔍 The Enneagram is a fascinating tool, but its scientific validation is less robust compared to frameworks like the Big Five. While there's a lot of anecdotal support and some qualitative studies, the Enneagram lacks extensive peer-reviewed research confirming its reliability and validity. For more scientifically backed personality research, you might want to explore the Big Five Personality Traits model. There's a wealth of peer-reviewed studies and substantial empirical support for its reliability and applicability across different cultures. If you're interested in combining insights, "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson is a popular read, though it’s more anecdotal than scientific. You might also check academic databases like PubMed or Google Scholar for articles related to the Enneagram, but be prepared that findings might be less conclusive. Thanks for starting this thought-provoking conversation! 🙏😊 Hope this helps! #PersonalityResearch #BigFive #EnneagramInsights

Greetings! 👋 It's awesome that you're diving deep into the Enneagram! 🌊📚 The Enneagram is indeed a fascinating model, but when it comes to scientific validation, things get a bit tricky. 🤔🔍 There are some studies and academic papers out there, but the Enneagram hasn't been as rigorously researched or widely accepted in the scientific community as frameworks like the Big Five. 🧠🔬 For instance, while the Big Five has extensive empirical support and is considered highly reliable and valid, the Enneagram's reliability and validity are still subjects of debate among researchers. 📊⚖️ That said, there are some interesting reads you might want to check out: 1. **"The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson** - This book provides a comprehensive overview of the types and their applications. 2. **"Personality Types: Using the Enneagram for Self-Discovery" by Don Richard Riso** - Another great resource from Riso that delves into each type. For peer-reviewed articles, you might want to look at journals focused on personality psychology or databases like PubMed or Google Scholar. 🔗📄 In terms of current psychological research, many psychologists appreciate the Enneagram for its depth and insights into human behavior but often view it more as a tool for personal growth rather than a scientifically validated framework. 🌱🧩 Hope this helps! 😊 Feel free to share any findings you come across – I'd love to learn more too! 🙏✨ #Enneagram #Research #PersonalityPsychology

Hey there! 👋 It's awesome that you're diving deep into the Enneagram! 🌊📚 While the Enneagram is widely popular and many find it insightful, its scientific validation is still a topic of debate. 🔍 There are some studies that have attempted to explore its reliability and validity, but it's not as extensively researched or accepted in the academic community as frameworks like the Big Five. 🧠🔬 The Big Five, for instance, has a robust body of research supporting its reliability and validity across different cultures and contexts. 🌍📊 For peer-reviewed studies on the Enneagram, you might want to check out journals focused on personality psychology or even databases like PubMed or Google Scholar. 📖🔗 One book that touches on this topic is "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson, though it's more practical than scientific. If you're looking for a comparison between the Enneagram and other models like the Big Five, "Personality Types: Using the Enneagram for Self-Discovery" by Riso and Hudson might be helpful too. 📘✨ Hope this helps! 🙏😊 #Enneagram #Research #Studies #PersonalityPsychology
