History of the Enneagram

• The history of the Enneagram is complex and not without dispute in the Enneagram community. Its roots are both ancient and modern. The ancient roots include wisdom, numerical and philosophical systems. The modern roots include contemporary

psychology.


History of the Enneagram

George I. Gurdjieff- 1875?-1949, Greek Armenian man who introduced the Enneagram symbol in the early twentieth century to the modern world.

Oscar Ichazo-1931 Bolivian man who put the system we know as the Traditional Enneagram together by developing the nine personality types in the 1960’s.

Claudio Naranjo, MD -1932 Chilean born psychiatrist who studied with Ichazo and integrated modern psychiatry to the Enneagram and brought it to California in the early 1970’s.
