The Enneagram: is it secret? Is it safe?

The Enneagram is often advertised as merely a personality test. Let's look into that:

"It’s no overstatement to suggest that we hardly understand what we are working with, so we would do well to take a learning stance of humility. This begins with recognizing that the Enneagram can’t be reduced to a personality test and that we have much more to learn. As Russ Hudson frequently emphasizes, “Type isn’t a ‘type’ of person, but a path to God.”"
