Descriptive Predictive Prescriptive

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora and Seth “Creek” Creekmore have a philosophical etymological conversation about three terms–descriptive, predictive and prescriptive–and how they can be misconstrued when it comes to the Enneagram of Personality.

“I also think that the Enneagram works better in the context of a set of other tools. I think that the Enneagram should always be a piece of a toolkit and not the toolkit itself.” -Mario [19:14


“But to me, the specific prescription is very personal depending on the person and the issue at hand. If someone is experiencing pain, there's a direction of travel that the doctor will go down to address that. To me, that’s the extent of the Enneagram’s prescription of like, here’s where to look, but beyond the where to look and some potential specifics, it’s mostly just personal. It’s everything external to the Enneagram.” -Creek [21:08]
