The enneagram is a system which posits nine distinct personality types and which predicts that each type will evince characteristics of specific other types under stressful or fortuitous conditions. The system has been little researched in a formal, social scientific manner. The present study examines the usefulness of the Wagner-Thrasher Enneagram Scales (WTES), an inventory assessing enneagram type; tests the utility of significant others (SOs) as criterion-typing informants as to subjects' enneagram types; compares the types on Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) profiles; and tests the prediction that people move toward other enneagram types.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The enneagram is a system which posits nine distinct personality types and which predicts that each type will evince characteristics of specific other types under stressful or fortuitous conditions. The system has been little researched in a formal, social scientific manner. The present study examines the usefulness of the Wagner-Thrasher Enneagram Scales (WTES), an inventory assessing enneagram type; tests the utility of significant others (SOs) as criterion-typing informants as to subjects' enneagram types; compares the types on Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) profiles; and tests the prediction that people move toward other enneagram types.
520 $a Subjects were 149 enneagram-knowledgeable adults. They were administered the WTES and State-Trait Anxiety Indicator (STAI), and most were asked to nominate SOs and to take the MBTI. There were 118 SOs, who were given enneagram type descriptions and asked to typify their corresponding subjects as they are "most of the time," "when under stress," and "when doing well."
520 $a The WTES's typings were congruent with self-typings at statistically significant levels for all but one of the enneagram types. The test's subscales showed high levels of internal consistency reliability, though the subscales were also highly intercorrelated. MBTI results for the various types were congruent with findings in previous research, and with theoretical constructs underlying the types. SOs were insufficiently reliable typers of subjects, except when they were already very familiar with the enneagram and very confident of their typings. No evidence was found for intertype movement, either when the STAI was used as a stress indicator or when SOs chose stress or actualization types.
520 $a The enneagram appears to possess validity as a personality system. Whether people ever show movement between types should be assessed in longitudinal studies and with more sophisticated measures of stressful or fortuitous conditions than were used here. The WTES should be refined in item specificity, and administered to people ignorant of their enneagram types, the latter to reduce test-taking bias. SOs could in such future research serve as criterion typers of subjects, if those SOs are knowledgeable about the enneagram system and able to type their associates with confidence.
