Ethics
- The enneagram is a model open to all.
- It is a tool for personal development. Because we don’t know what we ignore. It teaches us to be forgiving of our own strengths and weaknesses and those of others.
- There are no good types or poor types.
- It opens up to different points of view and psychological flexibility in an inclusive framework, where everyone has their place.
- Each person is unique, and an Enneagram type is just one card among many. The map is not the territory. The Enneagram describes just one of the many facets of our personality. There is not just one truth, but many.
- Each person is unique. We are more than the sum of our intuitions, emotions and thoughts.
- The enneatype of a person belongs to him. Our role is just to join him in this discovery, and only if he requests it.
- Let’s avoid stereotypes. Knowing a person’s enneatype does not presuppose that we know him. His personality is who he is. His attitude depends on who we are and how we deal with him.
- The enneagram is just a tool. It only improves communication if it makes us aware of our own personal limitations.
Conditions
- The use of the enneagram, psychometric tests or online questionnaires, training by members of the network do not fall within a framework of psychotherapy, unless the member is himself a licensed psychotherapist as defined in the country exercise and use.

- The Enneagram Modern network reserves the right to refuse or exclude any member, for security or ethical reasons.
- Inclusion of a member in the network must meet the criteria and commitments as indicated above in this page.
- The identification of an enneagram cannot be done solely on the basis of a psychometric test and must be validated in an interview by a confirmed enneagram practitioner.
