Enneagram (geometry)

Okay kiddo, so you know what shapes are right? An enneagram is a special shape that has nine sides, just like how a triangle has three sides and a square has four sides.

Now, imagine drawing a circle and putting a dot in the center. Then, you draw lines from the dot to the edge of the circle so they connect points that are equally spaced apart. This divides the circle into nine sections, kind of like a pizza with nine slices. Each slice is a part of the enneagram shape, and it has a special number which tells us more about different types of people.

The enneagram is often used to help us understand ourselves and other people better. Each of the nine numbers is associated with a different personality trait or way of thinking, and we use them to figure out why someone might act in a certain way. For example, someone who is a "Type 1" might be really focused on rules and doing things the "right" way, while someone who is a "Type 9" might prioritize peace and harmony over conflict.

So basically, the enneagram is a special shape that helps us see different parts of our personalities and why we act the way we do. It's like a special tool that we can use to better understand ourselves and those around us.
