It's much easier to explore the nine personality types, take tests that would help you assess your own type. There's even a great feature comparing the relationships between all the types.

| The Nine Types of the Enneagram |
Marion Gilbert teaches and affiliates with Enneagram in the Narrative Tradition. That organization is different from EI. Enneagram in the Narrative Tradition also has a good website to explore the personality types, take a test to determine your type and find trainings and workshops.
What's the Enneagram? Here's an answer from the Narrative Tradition group:
The Enneagram is a powerful tool for personal and collective transformation. Stemming from the Greek words ennea (nine) and grammos (a written symbol), the nine-pointed Enneagram symbol represents nine distinct strategies for relating to the self, others and the world. Each Enneagram type has a different pattern of thinking, feeling and acting that arises from a deeper inner motivation or worldview.
The Enneagram fosters greater understanding through a universal language that transcends gender, religion, nationality and culture. While we are all unique, we share common experiences. As representatives of each type tell their personal stories in the Narrative Tradition, we see that the ways people meet life’s challenges and opportunities fall within the nine personality types.
Enjoy exploring the Enneagram!
From
one point of view, the Enneagram can be seen as a set of nine distinct
personality types, with each number on the Enneagram denoting one type.
It is common to find a little of yourself in all nine of the types,
although one of them should stand out as being closest to yourself. This
is your basic personality type.
Everyone emerges from childhood with one of the nine types dominating their personality, with inborn temperament and other pre-natal factors being the main determinants of our type. This is one area where most all of the major Enneagram authors agree—we are born with a dominant type. Subsequently, this inborn orientation largely determines the ways in which we learn to adapt to our early childhood environment. It also seems to lead to certain unconscious orientations toward our parental figures, but why this is so, we still do not know. In any case, by the time children are four or five years old, their consciousness has developed sufficiently to have a separate sense of self. Although their identity is still very fluid, at this age children begin to establish themselves and find ways of fitting into the world on their own.
Thus, the overall orientation of our personality reflects the totality of all childhood factors (including genetics) that influenced its development.
