Friday, we had an invited guest, a former student of Miss Barros. When he entered the room I immediately felt his aura. Power within him that he immediately senses the crowd or our class. He catches our attention right away because maybe others felt what I also felt about him. He has the look that when he sees you in the eye, it’s like he sees the whole you. He then talks about Enneagram, it came from the religion of Muslim. Many psychologist has already studied Enneagram namely, Ouspensky a Russian philosopher, Oscar Icharo he named the 9 different types, Claudio Naranjo DSM personality theory he attached the 7 capital sins in Enneagram, example is pride. Last a female psychologist Helen Palmer. She used application Enneagram for corporation. 
Let me give you a brief meaning of Enneagram, a personality system which divides the entire human personality into 9 tendencies. A rich and practical study of personal growth based on ancient things of mysterious origins. He leaved us for 15mins because we still have to check our Enneagram test. When he came back he asked us to group by assigning us which is our group member. As he continuous reveling our types of personality in the Enneagram meaning, it was our groups turn to reveal our type of personality. We are type 7, mental intelligence. Seven’s are optimistic thrill seekers that see life as an adventure. This consistent zest for life can be inspiring. But one things lose their fun seven’s are no longer interested, many projects go unfinished. Seven’s fear being overwhelmed by life struggles. It was 80-20that I believe about our result. I just smiled but still I have a deep thought that it was correct.
I then remember that I also asked my special someone to also take the Enneagram test by the website Miss Barros gave us at www.similarminds.com. The type that he got was type two, saying that Two’s are uniquely gifted at turning in on the feeling of others. This makes them great networkers. But their closeness to other people can compromise their own needs. Two charities is really a projection of how they want others to care for them.
I have learned that Enneagram was one of the coolest practical tool for self awareness. :)
