Elizabeth Wagele
Elizabeth Wagele (May 31, 1939 – March 27, 2017) was an American artist, musician, and writer of books on the Enneagram of Personality and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
Wagele was raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, until she was 10 when her family moved to Berkeley, California. She spent much of her time drawing, playing the piano, or making up stories with her dolls as a child. Music played a major role in her life as a friend and spiritual guide, especially Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Bartók, Charles Mingus, Billie Holiday, and other classical and jazz composers. A gifted pianist who majored in music composition, she studied piano with Bernhard Abramowitsch and composition with Andrew Imbrie and graduated cum laude from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1961. Wagele partially supported herself in college by playing in a jazz combo. While raising her four children, Wagele studied, taught, and performed piano. She began writing books in 1993 at the age of 55, with her friend, Renee Baron.
Wagele died on March 27, 2017, in Berkeley, California. She is survived by her husband, four children and seven grandchildren.
Wagele wrote about the Enneagram of Personality and the Myers-Briggs system, especially introversion. An award-winning cartoonist, she illustrated her books with cartoons and was known for the humor in her writing.
In 1994, Baron and Wagele published a book on Enneagram personality typology geared toward the general reading public: The Enneagram Made Easy, which has been translated into 17 languages. The book was on the San Francisco Chronicle’s best sellers list for Quality Paperbacks in the Bay Area in 1994.
Are You My Type, Am I Yours? was published in 1995. In this book Baron and Wagele explored how the nine Enneagram Personality types interact in interpersonal relationships.
In 1997, Wagele wrote The Enneagram of Parenting, the first book to suggest that teachers and parents use the Enneagram to broaden their acceptance and understanding of children.
The Happy Introvert – A Wild and Crazy Guide for Celebrating Your True Self was published in 2006. Wagele included a section on the movie Napoleon Dynamite, along with chapters on relationships, children, Jung, neurology, personality, and creativity. Kathleen Grant Geib reviewed it as, "A delightful and informative guide for folks who call themselves introverts. Wagele sheds lights on differences between extroverts and introverts (25 to 30 percent of the U.S. population) and introduces main points of the fascinating personality survey, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Fun illustrations add humor."
