The importance of character analysis was highlighted by one of the greatest psychologists in the world Carl Gustav Jung.
Second, the great Swiss psychologist, a student of Freud, there are four basic psychological functions: thinking, feeling, intuition and perception. In each individual, one or several functions have a particular emphasis. For example, if a person is impulsive, according to Jung, this depends on the fact that the functions of intuition and perception are predominant over those of feeling and thinking.

-History of the Enneagram-​
​
“Know thyself” these are the words inscribed as a warning in the pronaos of the Temple of Apollo in Delphi. With his dialogues, Plato made this phrase which encourages reflection famous; reminds us of the importance of looking inside ourselves before making any decisions.
Centuries have passed and we often find it difficult to navigate that "fundamental subject which is self-knowledge". It is essential to know yourself.
That said 😊
As for us, you may be wondering what the Enneagram is?
The exact origin of the Enneagram is shrouded in mystery, so it would be fair to define it as an invaluable tool that is the result of a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern contributions drawn from various traditions and disciplines, including elements of Sufism, esoteric Christianity, Jewish Kabbalah and Greek philosophy. There have been many prominent personalities who have used this precious tool: George Gurdjieff, an Armenian mystic and spiritual teacher, is often cited as a key figure in the history of the Enneagram, Oscar Ichazo, a Bolivian teacher, who developed a system of nine personality types associated with the Enneagram in the 1960s and 1970s.
Ichazo founded the Arica School, where he taught his Enneagram teachings, including the concepts of Ego Fixations, Holy Ideas, and Virtues associated with each type. Claudio Naranjo, a Chilean psychiatrist, further developed and disseminated the Enneagram as a personality typology tool in the context of modern psychology. Naranjo introduced the Enneagram to the Western world through seminars and meetings, integrating his clinical observations with descriptions of personality types.
Since then, many other teachers and authors (such as Don Richard Riso, Russ Hudson, and Richard Rohr) have contributed to the growing understanding and application of the Enneagram in various fields, including personal development, psychology, spirituality, and business management.
It is an analysis of personality with very ancient origins: each personality represents the crystallization and stiffening of infantile defenses in the process of early adaptation to the environment and is structured around an emotional nucleus ("dominant passion"), a cognitive nucleus ("dominant fixation") and a nucleus that concerns the sphere of instincts that regulate human activity (preservation, social and sexual instincts).
​
More than a true classification, the Enneagram is a dynamic model in which each enneatype contains the potential of all the others, even if for each person there is a stronger identification with a certain type. It is important to underline that there is no enneatype better than another, or luckier in terms of personal resources: in the dynamics of the Enneagram they are all rich in potential and, depending on their evolution or involution, tend towards a certain type of positivity or negativity characteristics.
