The Great Enneagram Switcheroo It began as a simple diagram — nine points arranged around a circle, connected by odd, angular lines.

Toward a Unified Model of Personality Typology AbstractPersonality typology has historically developed along parallel lines, with systems such as the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Socionics, and the Enneagram each offering unique but incomplete perspectives on human behavior. This paper introduces the Ontolokey Cube as a unifying geometric and cognitive framework that maps the eight Jungian…
