NINE Sapiens © is a personality model that combines the nine basic types proposed by the Enneagram, with the most recent findings in three disciplines:

​

• Neurobiology, and its study of the neural mechanisms underlying the patterns of thoughts, emotions and behaviors we call personality.

​

• Behavioral Genetics and its exploration of hereditary aspects of personality.

​

• Evolutionary Psychology, and its conception of personality as an adaptive mechanism, subject to the laws of natural selection, slowly evolving alongside our history as a species.

​

After three years of theoretical research and the exhaustive review of more than 450 academic publications in these three disciplines, the authors extracted from the Enneagram model only those aspects that were supported by scientific findings. That's how NINE Sapiens © was born.

Why the base on the enneagram?
