A Comparison of Myers Briggs Type Indicator of Personality and Enneagram Personality Theory

This study focus on comparing the similarities and differences between the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) theory and the enneagram theory, as well as their differences on the scale. This allows for a better understanding of the differences between the two theories in the dimensions of personality types, leading to a better understanding of oneself and others. From what we understand, both MBTI theory and enneagram theory have different classifications of personality types, which allow people to understand themselves and others more fully. However, compared with the enneagram theory, the MBTI theory is more popular and has more general application. The MBTI scale is also more comprehensive and has higher structural validity and overall reliability than the enneagram theory. Although the enneagram theory of the nine personality types is more commonly used in talent management, it is not as widely used as the MBTI. Through this research, we will be able to more fully understand the similarities and differences between the two theories.
