When does a person develop their Enneagram type?
It isnt clear. Some believe you are born with your type, but most people agree that by the time a person is about 5 years old, the type has been established but may not be clearly apparent for another few years. The capability of self-observation is limited until adolescence, so self-identification of type is limited until then as well. There has been a study completed of identical twins which showed twins are actually less likely to be the same type than two random people, but they are more likely to be types connected by a line than random. From that, I conclude that there is some genetic link and some individual differentiation; either in the womb or in early childhood.
