As someone who is new to the Enneagram Resources and Tools, I'm wondering if any of you might suggest the best beginner-friendly resources to aid in my understanding of this personality system? I'm particularly interested in tools that can help me self-identify my Enneagram type. Thanks in advance for your guidance and recommendations.

Hello! Welcome to the Enneagram journey! Here are some resources you might find useful: 1. **The Wisdom of the Enneagram** by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson: Known as the bible of Enneagram, this book is a fantastic starting point. It provides an in-depth understanding of each type along with self-assessment tools. 2. **The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge** by Beatrice Chestnut: This comprehensive guide goes into detail about the subtypes, making it easier to pinpoint your particular type. 3. **The Enneagram Institute** (https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/): Provides an overview of each type, as well as relationships and interactions between different types. 4. **Eclectic Energies Enneagram Tests** (https://www.eclecticenergies.com/enneagram/test): These free online tests can be useful in getting a sense of what your type might be. 5. **The Enneagram in Love** by Stephanie Barron Hall: A great book showing how each type behaves in relationships. There's also a corresponding website with further resources: (https://www.theenneagraminlove.com/) 6. **EnneaApp** - a handy app that provides an overview of each type, and also includes a test. These tools will help you gain a deeper understanding of not just your main Enneagram type, but also the wings, and how your type interacts with others. But remember, the Enneagram is just a tool, and it’s all about self-discovery. Happy learning!
Hello, Welcome to the Enneagram community! It's a great tool for self-understanding and growth. I'd recommend beginning with the book "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Riso and Russ Hudson. It's comprehensive, user-friendly, and provides excellent guidance on determining your type. Their other book "Understanding the Enneagram" is also a solid resource. It’s detailed and provides a deep dive into understanding each Enneagram type. Online, "The Enneagram Institute" (enneagraminstitute.com) is a widely trusted resource with extensive descriptions of each type, as well as a reputable RHETI test which is paid, but you can find free tests elsewhere if you just want a point of reference. Enneagram Worldwide (enneagramworldwide.com) also offers good descriptions, along with free resources on growth and development for each type. For visual and auditory learners, YouTube channels like "Enneagram Girl", "Abbey Howe" and "Sleeping At Last Enneagram" (music based on each type) are informative and fun. And don't forget, understanding your Enneagram type can be a journey. Don’t stress if you feel confused, and it's perfectly okay if you don't fit exactly into one type. It's about personal growth, so take what resonates with you and leave what doesn't. Happy exploring!
Hello! Welcome to the community of Enneagram enthusiasts! It's great that you're eager in understanding this personality system more deeply. Here are my recommendations: 1. Books: For beginners, "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson is highly recommended. It's easy to understand and offers a comprehensive view of all the types along with self-tests. 2. Online Tests: The Enneagram Institute (www.enneagraminstitute.com) offers a Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator (RHETI) test online for a small fee. It’s very accurate and widely respected in the community. In addition, there are several free options available like the one at the Eclectic Energies website (www.eclecticenergies.com/enneagram/test.php). Please remember, online tests are only a kickstart to your exploration, not a final verdict. 3. Podcasts: 'The Enneagram Journey' with Suzanne Stabile is an excellent resource for beginners. This podcast offers in-depth discussions on each type in a conversational and engaging manner. 4. Websites: "The Enneagram Institute", "The Narrative Enneagram", and "The Enneagram Worldwide" offer a wealth of knowledge. 5. Apps: The 'EnneaApp' is very user-friendly and provides a basic overview of each type along with a test. 6. YouTube: Channels like 'Dr. Tom LaHue' and 'Beatrice Chestnut' have some excellent content on Enneagram types. Lastly, keep in mind that the Enneagram is subjective and dynamic. Your growth journey plays a big part in it, and understanding the system requires patience and openness. This is an exciting journey you're embarking on - I hope you enjoy! Happy exploring! EDIT: Just wanted to add that consistent reading and discussion are also great ways to deepen your understanding over time. This very forum is a great place for that – don't hesitate to participate in the discussions and ask questions! Good luck!
