The Enneagram itself is an ancient wisdom system. However, as UAEAD, we aim to solidify its place in the modern scientific world by conducting scientific research on its psychometric validity, neurobiological correlations, and various applications. Our association carries out studies based on empirical data in this field.

Discovering your Enneagram type is more than just taking a test. While reliable Enneagram assessments can serve as a starting point, true understanding comes through self-observation, studying Enneagram literature, and engaging in work with experienced Enneagram facilitators. You can learn more in our “Enneagram Tests” section.
