7 stars--I love this book!!
When I first heard about this book and that it was about other's personalities, I didn't want a thing to do with it. I refused to believe it could have a personality type for someone like me. However, my adpoted uncle encouraged me to read it, and I was amazed at what I learned about others as well as myself.

One of the few enneagram books I've seen with in-depth test consisting of 144 questions. Excellent beginner's book for someone new to the enneagram and hopes to find out what his personality is.

This is by far the most accurate personality book I have ever read. I makes much more sense to put the human race into 9 categories over just 4 like the color code. You will love learning all sorts of new things about why you do/think/feel things. Best $6 dollars I have ever spent! My entire family obsessed over the book as well.

4 stars for the useful test but the description of the types is limited. It's a great introduction to the Enneagram.

Recommended reading for my first workshop on the enneagram through the Sacred Art of Living Center in Bend. The book contains the test which can be taken without prior knowledge of the enneagram or having read the text. Very informative and shockingly accurate for me...I'm a 4.

I think some friends (including me) are getting together to have a workshop soon on this. Or, possibly, a spiritual retreat to all figure ourselves out and learn how to become more highly evolved versions of ourselves. hahaha.

Very good personality assessment that is valid but different from the standard psychological assessment. It is based on ancient wisdom and still holds true. It is also fun!

i liked this book, because i love being analytical (because i'm a 5). i'm not sure other people would like it, because i've got a bit of a different taste (because i'm a 4).

a good introduction to the Enneagram, but it lacks the depth of others.
