Five Do’s• Do be open, flexible and self-aware.• Do learn the tool. Read the book and talk with others.• Do observe your own personality. See the “patterns.”• Do use non-judgmental observations to test your knowledge.• Do play with typing others privately to yourself only, but realize

you may be wrong.

Five Don’ts• Don’t try to convince others of their Doorway.• Don’t use your Doorway to “rationalize” your limitations.• Don’t use the Nine Doors Enneagram system to

attack or compete. • Don’t assume that one Doorway is “better” than another.• Don’t stop learning!
