Enneagram
Not recommended by Public School Exit.
This dangerous journey of self-discovery through study of personality types (using nine different numbers which translates into nine personality types grouped in three Centers), levels of development, and the three instincts combines mystical non-Christian spiritual notions taken from Islam, Taoism, Buddhism and ancient Greek philosophy and even New Age, the occult and worldly humanism. Biblical and Christian doctrinal issues such as sin, salvation, and sanctification are missing from what is supposed to be a spiritual journey. Enneagram desires to be inclusive as possible and mixes non—Christian religious ideas with purported Christian beliefs (syncretism). It has been promoted to Roman Catholics engaged in the contemplative movement; received backing from mainline Protestant churches such as the United Methodist Church; and gained a foothold within the evangelical (Zondervan Publishing, part of HarperCollins Christian Publishing) and homeschool movement. Enneagram critics call it false doctrine as you go beyond the personality types into the self-discovery journey.
