[Ailist] Re: AI and assessments (?MBTI 2)

[Nancy Stetson]

>Hi Carol,

I have used a model called the Enneagram which describes nine 
motivational styles. While the Enneagram is often used for looking at 
both dark and light sides of each style, my ex-partner and I have 
used it with leaders when we looked at only the light side (or 
"strengths" of each style. I thought it worked well.

However, the Enneagram is a complex model, and takes quite a bit of 
time to really understand. It's a lifetime practice!
