Abstract
This thesis explicates the importance of communication competence and the Enneagram personality test. It also describes how both have been studied and measured. Although both concepts are difficult to define and have not been studied together, this thesis will work to clarify each concept and argue the importance of studying each concept together. The research question in this thesis will ask if there is a relationship between communication competence and the Enneagram. Scholarly research was conducted via academic journal articles. The conclusion of this research is that communication competence and the Enneagram could have a relationship. This conclusion was based on the similar features both variables share, which are cognitive and behavioral indicators of both communication competence and an Enneagram personality type.
