This virtual program is presented by the Sacramento Association for Psychological Type (SacAPT) chapter.

The MBTI examines personality through the lens of functions and attitudes, exploring how we process information, make decisions, and orient ourselves to the world around us. The Enneagram views personality as a style of attention, grounded in one of three emotional centers that dominate the personality. What happens when the two systems are combined? This workshop explores how our self-understanding is enriched by taking into account both type preferences (MBTI) and patterns of emotional attention (Enneagram). After reviewing the nine Enneagram patterns, we will overlay Jungian typology onto the Enneagram to explore how the two systems interact to form a more comprehensive picture of your personality. Note that a large component of this workshop will be discussion-based and assumes participants have a basic knowledge of both the Enneagram and MBTI systems.
