The Enneagram helps people understand themselves and others better. It describes nine different personalities with numbers from 1 to 9. You can read detailed descriptions by clicking on any of the types below.
Each of the nine Enneagram types has its own unique worldview and motivation. One of them shapes you the most. That is your personality type.
The nine types aren’t given their numbers at random. They follow the idea that three core aspects of what makes us human sort the nine types into three groups: Head Types, Heart Types, and Body Types.
Each group (often also called triads) is driven by their center of intelligence and has a core emotion. Just as you carry a little bit of each type in you, you are shaped by all three of these aspects, but the group your type belongs to plays a greater role in your life. You can learn about it here.
I am type six for sure.
what is the best number to be
I'm a type 4. Never have I felt so attacked in my life as by this test ^^
As a coach, I have to say your site is the best on the Enneagram I've found so far. You really go into depth on all the elements of the types, while being honest about the limits of the system. No over- or underselling. I've been recommending it to all my clients.
Thanks for the descriptions. I didn't want to buy the report, so I'm loving all the free stuff you put out here.
Can you be more than one type?
Love your site! Great breakdown of the Enneagram.
I do see A LOT of me in this Enneagram Test, yet also some conflicting statements. I'm a binary person: 0/1, on/off, black/white, in/out, etc. Not much room for gray or assumptions.
Reminds me of the Myers Briggs personality Inventory. Yet theoretical underpinnings seem much deeper. As a psychologist myself I am much appreciate this program.
