Except the Enneagram is more than that. The Enneagram is a total mystery. I've never heard the straight story on where it comes from, though I heard a rumor it's Sufi, another that it came out of Chile in the last 50-60 years or so, and the one I like to retell - Jesuits were using it to secretly decode the temperaments of their parishoners in things like marriage counseling sessions.
Since the Enneagram also tells you what your path of growth is, as well as healthy and unhealthy manifestations, you can pretty much pinpoint how you're doing on a soul level.
My men's group is currently running their profiles. Here are some of the resources they've posted on our forum. I'm revisiting mine and teetering on a 4 with a 3 wing or a 3 with a 4 wing.
If you don't know what that means, here's the standard rundown on the Enneagram: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enneagram_of_Personality
Here are some tests:

Facebook even has an app! Just search Enneagram on Facebook and click on the Applications tab.
But ultimately, your best resource will be this book: The Wisdom of the Enneagram: The Complete Guide to Psychological and Spiritual Growth for the Nine Personality Types
Coincidentally, I just completed the Enneagram on the new Enlightened Child Mandala.
I gotta go back and review my notes from years ago. I wonder if you can change types! Maybe I'm just coming to know my true self...
Take the Enneagram test - - let me know what you think!
And try to complete one for your child. It will do wonders for your communication and understanding to put words on what you already intuit. Let me know!
Cheers,
Craig
