Enneagram is a form of popular psychology that categorizes people into nine basic personalities. Its main symbol is "enneagon," a circle surrounding an equilateral triangle and two incomplete triangles that meet in nine points along the circle's circumference. Followers believe that the system is based on ancient principles, especially Sufi mysticism. The nine personality groups are: 1. Perfectionist, Reformer, Critic; 2. Helper, Caregiver, Advisor; 3. Achiever, Performer, Motivator; 4. Romantic, Individualist; 5. Observer, Thinker, Investigator; 6. Loyalist, Trooper, Devil’s Advocate; 7. Adventurer, Epicure, Optimist; 8. Challenger, Leader, Advocate; 9. Mediator, Abdicator, Peacemaker
