Does the enneagram chart relate to any Cosmere charts or systems?

[YmYm]

Hey, I’ve been learning about the Enneagram chart and this just reminded me of Brandon’s radiant and surge binding charts.  There are 9 types though.  I wonder if each of these could map onto one of the Unmade?  Probably not...  But I was just wondering, for those who thought about the Cosmere way more than me, do Enneagrams or other personality type structures show up in Brandon’s work?

Though I may not be as much of a Cosmere Scholar than I wish, I can see how you would look at that chart and think of something like the Double Eye of the Almighty or something like that, but I don't think specifically anything about personality types or charts are influencing his writing. I think you could look up more than what I found but, here are some WoB talking about some inspiration for that chart/symbol and the interconnected lines here.

I've often thought that Brandon might have based the Orders on the Enneagram (with a few changes).

Brandon probably read up on different personality types classifications for the Orders, so it's possible.

The chart itself is based on the Tree of Life of the Kabbalah
