ABSTRACT

This paper explores the application and practice of Enneagram psychology in Chinese youth education. Firstly, the theoretical basis of Enneagram is introduced, including the division of individuals into 9 unique personality types and their guiding role in educational methods. Subsequently, the characteristics and challenges of Chinese youth education were analyzed, emphasizing the impact of academic pressure, intense competition, and traditional values on personality development. Subsequently, the application of Enneagram in Chinese youth education was elaborated, including self-awareness and personal growth, emotional intelligence and stress management, interpersonal skills and teamwork, as well as personality type based educational methods. Through case studies and practical examples, the positive impact of Enneagram in school education has been demonstrated. At the same time, challenges and considerations were also raised in terms of cultural adaptation, misunderstandings and stereotypes, professional training, and professional knowledge. Finally, the conclusion is drawn that the integration of Enneagram can promote the comprehensive development and success of Chinese adolescents, but requires cautious thinking methods and professional training support.
