One of the clearest ways to understand how this system can support high-functioning workplaces
Maitri, Sandra, (2000). The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram: Nine Faces of the Soul. New York: Jeremy Tarcher/Putnam Press.
This is not for the spiritual beginner.

Buyer beware in Enneagram Studies.
There are many home-grown testers/gurus/bloggers/authors/youth who are untrained in the system, or seeking to use the Enneagram for evangelizing other purposes. The above list tells you who I believe has solid training and clear skills to make a worthwhile contribution to the field of Enneagram Studies. Study wisely with the wise, avoid the rabbit holes
