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. This 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.
