QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF TO DETERMINE
WHETHER YOU MIGHT BE AN ENNEAGRAM STYLE ONE

1. Do I have a voice or message in my head, like a tape recorder,
that continually judges me and other people in terms of what
has been done wrong, what has been done well, and what
needs to be improved?
2. Do the four basic issues—perfectionism, a right way,
resentment, and judgment and self-improvement—apply to
me?
3. Does the Style One leadership paradigm fit my view of
leadership?
4. Did I check 10 or more items in “Areas of Strength” and “Areas
for Development”?
