The characteristics and particularities that compose each Enneagram type are commonly used in transpersonal psychology and human growth. However, the Enneagram is not frequently applied in clinical medicine or related investigations in psychology and medicine about psychotypes and specific organic disorders.

This study attempts to establish the correlation between specific Enneatypes and specific organic disorders. This is achieved by designing a qualitative investigation, including non-experimental, retrospective, and longitudinal trials. For this to be successful a sample of 250 patients was selected between January 2001 and January 2006. All patients determined their enneatype by the Desana method during a three-day Enneagram seminar. At the same time they had a medical assessment in which the most common and important diseases were determined. These were then included in the clinical history of the patient.

A significant number of case histories with specific disorders of determined Enneatypes were found in the studied sample. The study shows the presence of certain common diseases according to the Enneatype, for example migraine headaches in Type One women.
