Listeners of this show will know I'm not shy about my Enneargream skepticism. Well, today I'm joined by Jay Medenwaldt (Master in Psychological Sciences - Baylor University) who has done some actual legwork on the topic, compiling studies that have tested the reliability and validity of the Enneagram. Jay expounds on this research and walks us through some "not so popular" critiques of The Enneagram. We also cover physiological bias, introspection tools, attachment styles, and more.
