Everything you need to know about the Enneagram and how we work.

The Enneagram is a dynamic personality system that describes nine interconnected patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. Rather than putting people in boxes, it maps the underlying motivations that drive behaviour — making it a uniquely powerful tool for development.
The nine types are: Reformer, Helper, Achiever, Individualist, Investigator, Loyalist, Enthusiast, Challenger and Peacemaker. Each represents a distinct core motivation, world-view and pathway to growth.
Rather than putting people into boxes, the Enneagram maps out patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. It also shows how people grow, respond to stress and interact with others — making it a genuinely developmental tool, not just a label.
No — every type has its own strengths and blind spots. The goal isn't to label or rank, but to build self-awareness and support personal growth. There is no 'best' type.
Traditional tools describe how you behave. The Enneagram explores why — the underlying fears and desires that shape behaviour. It's developmental rather than descriptive, and maps how you change under stress and in growth.
The Integrative Enneagram Questionnaire (iEQ9) achieves 95% profile accuracy, based on 13 years of continuous research and refinement. It's the most scientifically validated Enneagram instrument available.
Yes — the iEQ9 is a psychometrically validated instrument. Ongoing peer-reviewed research explores its reliability, validity and applications in leadership, teams and clinical settings.
Your core type tends to remain stable throughout life, but how you express it evolves significantly. The Enneagram maps both your baseline and the healthier — or less healthy — expressions available to you.
Wings are the two types adjacent to your core type on the Enneagram diagram. They flavour how you express your type — most people lean more strongly toward one wing than the other.
Absolutely. Understanding your type and the types of those around you creates a shared language for communication, conflict, feedback and collaboration — both personally and professionally.
The most reliable way is through a validated assessment like the iEQ9. You can take ours via a discovery call with Clair — who will also guide you through a personal debrief of your results.
From how you handle stress, to how you make decisions, communicate, set goals and relate to others — the Enneagram offers a map for every corner of life, and a framework for intentional growth.
