I studied the Enneagram years ago already and I decided to read the book again. The Enneagram symbol is thousands of years old, but the first written proof is from Pythagoras who lived 600 years before Christ. According to his theory (developed by many other psychologists afterwards) there are nine types of characters and this essence of your being is developed between the age of 6 months and 1 year. After that our upbringing, our parents, our school, our friends and everything else that can influence us, drives us more or less away from our essence. The enneagram can bring us back to this essence and makes that we understand yourselves and others a lot better. When you discover your true self at a young age, it will have of course a great effect on your self esteem.

Elizabeth Wagele wrote an Enneagram book for children with very nice drawings explaining the different character types.
