Ep 3 | What Do We Actually Mean by Scientific Evidence?What does it actually mean when someone says the Enneagram is “scientifically validated” - or, on the flip side, that there’s “no evidence” for it at all?

In this episode, we break down some of the basic building blocks of scientific evidence - observation, correlation, reliability, validity, replication, and predictive value - and apply them to common Enneagram claims.

You’ll also hear why:

Evidence for one part of a theory doesn't validate the whole systemReliability and validity are not the same thingCorrelation does not automatically prove an Enneagram explanation“Supported,” “Plausible,” and “Speculative” are useful ways to think about different claimsOne study may be interesting, but it is not scientific consensus

The goal isn't to prove or disprove the Enneagram as a whole, but to ask a better question:

Which claims have earned which level of confidence?
