This study explores the relationship between Enneagram personality types and
psychological well-being among adolescents aged 16–19 in Jaipur, India. A sample of
200 adolescents was selected through stratified random sampling. Participants
completed the Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator (RHETI) and Ryff’s Psychological
Well-Being Questionnaire (PWBQ). Descriptive statistics were calculated, followed by
Pearson’s product-moment correlations to determine the association between
Enneagram types and the six PWB dimensions. Findings revealed significant positive
correlations between several Enneagram types and psychological well-being. Types 1
(Reformer), 2 (Helper), 3 (Achiever), 6 (Loyalist), 7 (Enthusiast), and 9 (Peacemaker)
showed consistently strong associations with most PWB domains. Conversely, Type
5 (Investigator) demonstrated negligible or negative correlations, particularly with personal
growth. These results highlight the influence of motivational personality dynamics on
well-being, suggesting that personality-informed interventions may be useful in
adolescent counseling and education. The study offers culturally grounded insights
into the personality–well-being interface and emphasizes the Enneagram’s potential
as a tool for adolescent mental health promotion. It calls for further research into
Enneagram-based developmental interventions
