A self-understanding scheme with a numerical rubric was just the thing for writer Jill Piper. What she also deciphered were ways the Enneagram added depth and dimension to her spiritual life.
A few basic concepts for understanding the Enneagram
Enneagram Types Five, Six, and Seven: Thinking types who respond logically and systematically to situations and like to have a plan for what is to come.
The Enneagram types in the “heart center” know through mood, tone and feeling. Rather than feeling emotions directly, they tend to derive their feelings from the responses and reactions of others.
Those types whose first way of knowing is through a kinesthetic sense, physical sensation and instinct are types Eight, Nine, and One.
