As one of a number of ways of thinking about personality, it is a helpful spiritual analogue to Myers-Briggs typology. The Enneagram also counsels humility and acknowledges its own limits (“ is not infallible or inerrant,” writes Cron and Stabile)-a welcome modesty in religious understanding today. The beauty of the Enneagram is its charity: the system clearly names the flaws as well as the virtues of each personality type.


Cron ( Chasing Francis), an Episcopal priest, brings his witty, energetic voice to this collaboration with Stabile, a retreat director and expert on the Enneagram-a system of personality typology with roots in Christian and Islamic mysticism.
