Your point about the Enneagram's roots in Sufi and contemplative traditions points to something most Western frameworks completely lack: the idea that character has a deeper dimension that precedes behavior and motivation.
BaZi, the Chinese Four Pillars system, comes from a similar place. Not a test at all, works from birth data, and carries the same sense you're describing; that you're not discovering a label, you're recognizing something that was already there.
Curious whether you've ever gone down that rabbit hole?
