PRESS RELEASE: Independent Researchers Conclude First Validation Study of Enneagram System (Full Version)
The Enneagram Institute is pleased to announce that a year-long research project has shown that the nine types of the Enneagram are "real and objective", and that they are strongly supported by the psychometric evidence applied to the Enneagram by the researchers at SHL Group Plc, a world leader in objective assessment.

Based on the Enneagram work of Don Riso and Russ Hudson of The Enneagram Institute (New York), independent researchers at SHL (UK), lead by Prof. David Bartram, found that the nine personality types of the Enneagram are "real and objective" and that they stand on a par psychometrically with the Myers-Briggs system, the Big Five, and other well-known, accepted psychological systems. In short, the Enneagram has now been "scientifically supported, " according to Dr. Bartram.
