Anagram is a Latin word, which means 9 faces, which is sometimes called Enneagram.
Anagram is a method of personality that classifies the characteristics of people into 9 groups or 9 types of personality.
This model can be used in psychological tests of employees and identification of entrepreneurial characteristics.
Although a specific person cannot be identified as the founder of this method, it can be said that Gurdjieff, a Russian scientist, organized this school in an orderly and harmonious manner, and people like "Oscar Ichazo" and "Claudio Narenjo" combined the Ennagram method with the science of psychology and gave this method a more scientific structure through the new findings of the 20th century.
In this personality evaluation model, people are divided into nine different groups. . Nine types are likened to a circle, since the circle has no vertex and base, the distance of each type to the center of the circle is equal, which means that no type and no position is superior to other types in terms of location. Anagram can be used for self-knowledge and others; Helping to improve the abilities of people in the organization or use employment tests. In this model, the characteristics of each type of personality are not related to the gender of people and are fixed. The numerical value of each of the nine types of personality is not particularly important and larger numbers are not better than smaller numbers. Each of the 9 types of characters has its own unique characteristics and its own weaknesses and strengths, and in this respect, they have no superiority over each other. Ennagram has a questionnaire with 144 two-choice questions.
