What is THE ENNEAGRAM?
Enneagram from the Greek words ennéa, meaning "nine" and grámma, meaning something "written" or "drawn"
The Enneagram is a system of " typing" your personality or the face you show to the world.
The Enneagram describes nine "character types" (the public persona) and maps each of these types on a nine-pointed diagram, which helps to illustrate how the types relate to one another. Most experts agree that this originated in ancient times as a path to Spiritual Growth, but has been secularized to appeal to the masses and to some is no more than a fun personality test or worse, used like a Zodiac sign. "That's the way I am, deal with it."
The Mystery of the Ennegram
Many people find the Enneagram confusing. Understanding and remembering nine numbers, two wings and three instincts can be like putting together a puzzle without the benefit of having the box top. Enneagram tests can be inaccurate and misleading because most are influenced by personal feelings and inaccurate opinions.
Enneagram demystified: THE FOUR CORES
Rather than focus on current behaviors, or the personality we show to the world, the study of the FOUR CORES focuses on the Temperament God gave you, the person He designed you to be, before childhood experiences and neurobiological influences forced you to develop coping mechanisms that became your Enneagram TYPE.
Using the FOUR CORES for Spiritual Growth
The Biblical approach of the FOUR CORES helps us to uncover our "Shadow Self," the FEAR that we haven't faced or are trying to hide. This growth process will take you back to your CORE, the Temperament you were born with that holds your "assignment" from God: the gifts He placed into your original equipment, that are there for His use.
