Many will balk at this cookie-cutter or rule-of-thumb approach to something as complex as human development. Others will find the exercise falls somewhere between entertainment and a useful jumpstart to becoming more self-aware. And no doubt many readers will join the ever-growing bandwagon of enneagram devotees. If you fall into the latter group, you'll want to pay particular attention to this advice: after you've selected your personality type, verify it. Daniels and Price recommend asking someone who knows you well to review your type profile and see if he or she agrees that it fits. And, be sure to do this before following the authors' type-specific instructions for self-development. After all, having a Romantic follow a Perfectionist's instructions for growth and change is akin to mistakenly putting Lucille Ball into Miss Manner's therapy session. And we wouldn't want that, now, would we? (Beliefnet, Sept. 2000)
