Susan Drumm introduces the Enneagram as a model for self-development, noting it is often compared to assessments like DISC and Myers-Briggs but differs by focusing on development and relational systems. She uses a vision metaphor (central vs peripheral sight and a blind spot behind the head) to explain how attention creates blind spots that limit personal growth.

Yes. Yes. So the Enneagram is a powerful model of self development. It often gets compared to things like Disc and Myers Briggs. And it is not that it is very different because it's this model for development and it shows where you relate as a system within the system of people and perspectives. I think as human beings, we think we're chameleons and we can see 360 degrees, but we can't. We have a central vision and a peripheral vision. And where we point our focus of attention, that's what we see. But there's something behind our head we can't see and that's our blind spot.
