Move Over Myers–Briggs and DISC, here comes the Enneagram with Karl Hebenstreit


Listen Later

Move over Myers-Briggs and DISC behavioral assessments, here comes Enneagram.

While studying Myers-Briggs in college, Karl Hebenstreit, PhD accidentally was exposed to the several millennia old system called Enneagram.

What is The Enneagram? It is a system of personality typing that describes patterns in how people interpret the world and manage their emotions. The Enneagram describes 9 personality types and maps each of these types on a nine-pointed diagram which helps to illustrate how the types relate to one another.

This method dates back to the days of Aristotle.

This is a fun conversation for HR professionals, sales people and even parents.. Out of the 9 traits: Perfectionist, The Helper, The Achiever, The Individualist, The Investigator, The Loyalist, The Enthusiast, The Challenger and The Peacemaker...what's your dominant personality trait?
