The RHETI (Riso, Hudson, Enneagram Type Indicator)

The Enneagram is a personality typing system that consists of nine different types. Everyone is considered to be one single type, although one can have traits belonging to other ones. While it is uncertain whether this type is genetically determined, many believe it is already in place at birth. The nine types (or “enneatypes”, “ennea” means “nine”) are universally identified by the numbers 1 to 9. These numbers have a standard way of being placed around the Enneagram symbol. Enneagram authors have attached their own individual names to these numbers. On this site the type names by authors Riso and Hudson are used. The RHETI is an excellent tool for those who want to increase their levels of self-awareness in some depth. Besides offering insights about one’s personality strengths and weaknesses it also offers directions for growth and development. This makes it an ideal coaching tool especially for those who are committed to learn more about themselves and how they can improve so that they can be more effective in their work and in their life in general. The enneagram is administered and interpreted by a qualified and registered psychologist.
