“…Although many leadership experts have used the Enneagram to promote personal development, some therapists have also used it in more traditional psy-chotherapy settings (11)(12)(13). For example, therapists have used it to help patients or clients understand their core motivations and resultant prominent defenses (14) or as a model for discussing object relations (15).…”

“…Within the nine types each has a focus on specific motivating factors, values and beliefs, fears and concerns, and preferred methods of interpersonal communication (Matise, 2007). The combination of intra-and interpersonal insight results in the potential for increased understanding and compassion for others (Tapp & Engebretson, 2010), thus resulting in relationships characterized by authenticity and mutual respect. Given this notion, the supervisors can utilize the Enneagram to understand and enhance their supervisory relationship with the supervisees.…”

“…Eights are known for being assertive and resourceful, with a strong sense of confidence. With strong personalities, they can be excellent resources for others who need guidance or encouragement, but they typically attempt to keep themselves separated from highly emotional interactions (Tapp & Engebretson, 2010). Eights fear rejection and will often reject others in an anticipatory attempt at selfprotection; however, this behavior creates difficulty in forging genuine connections.…”

“…Eights fear rejection and will often reject others in an anticipatory attempt at selfprotection; however, this behavior creates difficulty in forging genuine connections. This desire to protect themselves can manifest as trying to master their environment and exert control over others (Tapp & Engebretson, 2010). In striving for independence and authority, they risk becoming domineering and confrontational.…”

“…The relational implications associated with each Enneagram Type have been used in counseling relationships to enhance the relationship itself and bring upon insight and change (Tapp & Engebretson, 2010). In the counselor-client relationship, the counselor can use the Enneagram to create connection with a client, and also to help them "gain empathy into their experiences and the experiences of others" (Tapp & Engebretson, 2010, pp.…”

Supervision conflict is natural and inevitable. However, if not resolved effectively it can be detrimental to the supervisory relationship. The Enneagram is a personality classification system that houses nine basic personality types and their interrelationships. It has been utilized to facilitate self-and other-awareness in various situations, from client-counselor dyads to corporate employee groups. The authors propose that the Enneagram, and its neurobiological influences, can be a useful tool within the counseling supervision process, strengthening both the supervision relationship as well as modeling understanding and awareness that supervisees that can utilize in their relationships with clients.

The Enneagram: A systematic review of the literature and directions for future research

The Enneagram is a typology that many clients use to understand their personality and interpersonal patterns, despite some concerns about its validity. Thus, the purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive and clinician‐friendly review of the extant empirical work on the Enneagram. After reviewing 104 independent samples, we found mixed evidence of reliability and validity. In terms of strengths, some factor analytic work has shown partial alignment with prior theorizing, and subscales show theory‐consistent relationships with other constructs such as the Big 5. Also, several studies found the Enneagram was helpful for personal/spiritual growth. However, factor analytic work has typically found fewer than nine factors, and no work has used clustering techniques to derive the nine types. Also, there is little research supporting secondary aspects of Enneagram theory, such as wings and intertype movement. We conclude by highlighting directions for future research and implications for clinical practice.
