"Enneagram" is the name of the system of knowledge as well as its symbol (http://www.ennea.com/symbol/symbol.htm).
The Enneagram is an ancient teaching of mysterious origins (http://www.ennea.com/history/history.htm) which is said to represent every process of creation and renewal. The Enneagram is taught as a technology or system of human development, self-discovery, spiritual growth and self-actualization.
The Enneagram, today, is most often presented as a system of personality types (http://www.ennea.com/types/enntypes.htm). Each personality type is characterized by specific patterns of thought, speaking style, feelings, emotions, sensations, and belief systems which are universal to the type.
Please do some pre-reading to familiarize yourself in advance. www.AbeBooks.com is a great source for cheap, used books.
