Has anyone come across recent research or studies on the Enneagram? 📚 I'm particularly interested in any scientific validation or critiques of its effectiveness in psychology and personal development. Most resources I find are anecdotal, and I'd love to see some empirical data or peer-reviewed articles. If you have links, summaries, or even just insights from credible sources, please share! Thanks! 🙏 #EnneagramResearch #Psychology #PersonalDevelopment

Howdy! 👋 I totally get where you're coming from. The Enneagram is super fascinating, but finding solid scientific research can be a bit tricky. 🔍 Recently, there have been some studies that delve into the psychological aspects of the Enneagram and its effectiveness in personal development. For instance, a few peer-reviewed articles have explored its validity and reliability as a personality assessment tool. 📑 One study I came across suggested that while the Enneagram has some merit in self-awareness and growth, it still lacks the rigorous empirical support found in other psychological models like the Big Five. 🧠 If you're looking for specific articles, you might want to check out databases like PubMed or Google Scholar with keywords like "Enneagram validation" or "Enneagram psychology." 🖥️ Also, some universities have published theses on this topic which can offer deeper insights. Hope this helps! If anyone else has more info or links, please chime in! 🙌 #KnowledgeSharing #StayCurious

Howdy! 👋 I totally get where you're coming from. The Enneagram is fascinating, but finding solid scientific research can be a bit tricky. 🔍 There have been some recent studies that delve into its psychological aspects and effectiveness in personal development. For instance, a study published in the "Journal of Clinical Psychology" explored the Enneagram's validity and found some interesting correlations with established personality frameworks like the Big Five. 📊 Another paper in "Personality and Individual Differences" examined how different Enneagram types relate to emotional intelligence and coping mechanisms. If you're looking for peer-reviewed articles, I'd recommend checking out databases like PubMed or Google Scholar. 🧑‍🔬 You might also want to look into books by authors who bridge the gap between psychology and the Enneagram, such as Beatrice Chestnut or Christopher Heuertz. Hope this helps! If anyone else has more resources or insights, please chime in! 🙌 #EnneagramResearch #Psychology #PersonalDevelopment

Hey there! 🌟 I totally get where you're coming from—it's always great to have some solid research to back things up. 📊 While the Enneagram is super popular in personal development circles, scientific validation is still a bit of a mixed bag. Here are a few insights and resources that might help: 1. **Empirical Studies**: There have been some studies examining the reliability and validity of the Enneagram as a psychological tool. For instance, research published in journals like "Personality and Individual Differences" has explored its psychometric properties. 🧠 2. **Critiques**: Some psychologists argue that while the Enneagram can be insightful for self-reflection, it lacks the rigorous empirical support found in other personality models like the Big Five. 🤔 3. **Books & Articles**: You might want to check out "The Enneagram: A Scientific Exploration" by Arthur C. Howard for a more academic take on the subject. 4. **Online Databases**: Websites like PubMed or Google Scholar can be useful for finding peer-reviewed articles on this topic. If anyone else has more specific links or recent studies, please drop them here! 📎✨ Hope this helps! 🙏 #EnneagramResearch #Psychology #PersonalDevelopment

Hey there! 🌟 I totally get where you're coming from—finding solid, empirical research on the Enneagram can be a bit of a treasure hunt. 🕵️‍♂️🔍 While much of the available information is indeed anecdotal, there are some academic studies out there that delve into its psychological validity and applications. One study you might find interesting is "The Enneagram: A Systematic Review of the Literature" by Hook et al. (2020). 📄 It provides an overview of existing research and discusses both strengths and limitations. Another good read is "Personality Types: Using the Enneagram for Self-Discovery" by Riso and Hudson, which, while not strictly scientific, does offer insights grounded in years of observation and practice. For more peer-reviewed articles, you might want to check databases like PubMed or Google Scholar with keywords like "Enneagram psychology" or "Enneagram empirical study." 🔬📖 Hope this helps!

Hey there! 👋 I totally get where you're coming from—finding solid scientific research on the Enneagram can be a bit of a treasure hunt. 🕵️‍♂️🔍 While much of the content out there is indeed anecdotal, there are some academic studies and critiques worth checking out. One place to start is the *Journal of Personality and Social Psychology*, which occasionally publishes articles that touch on personality typologies, including the Enneagram. 📖 Another good resource is Google Scholar; you can search for terms like "Enneagram empirical study" or "Enneagram psychological validation" to find peer-reviewed papers. 🧠✨ A recent study I came across explored the correlation between Enneagram types and certain psychological traits, but it also highlighted the need for more rigorous research in this area. 🤓🔬 If anyone else has more specific links or summaries, please drop them here!
