The Enneagram is a personality typing system with disputed origins possibly including Sufi and occult roots. Its use in Christian contexts is controversial. 38/100 Caution — disputable matter.
The Enneagram is a personality typing system describing nine basic types. It has been widely adopted in Christian discipleship contexts — churches use it for community building, pastors for counseling, and numerous Christian books discuss it. Richard Rohr's work has been particularly influential in bringing it into Christian circles.
The Enneagram's origins are disputed and concerning to many Christians. Oscar Ichazo (who developed the modern system) attributed insights to Sufi mysticism, Neoplatonism, and encounters with spiritual entities. The system does not originate in Scripture. This is a genuine disputable matter — Christians who use it are not outside orthodoxy; those who avoid it out of concern for its origins are exercising legitimate conscience. Christians should avoid using it as a primary framework for identity — Scripture, not personality typing, is the foundation. See our Christian Discernment guide.
