The Enneagram (pronounced any-a-gram) is a popular personality typing system to help us humans better understand what motivates us to act the way we do. It consists of nine types represented by the nine numbers of the Enneagram symbol. Although we have elements of all nine types, one of the types is more dominant for us than the others.
It can be hard to resist the temptation to apply human personality types to your cat. The problem is that much of what's described by these types is specifically human and doesn't translate well to our feline friends. What's needed is a tweaking of the type descriptions to generalize the types to cat behavior.
Here at WhatKittyWants.com we adapted the Enneagram personality types to more specifically apply to cats. We also created a free Enneacat test that scores how closely your cat fits each type based on the responses you give. At the end of that test you'll have the opportunity to take a free human version of the Enneagram test so you can compare your personality to your cat's personality using the Enneagram.
