Enneagram-style test

Twenty-seven questions, three for each type. You get a type from 1 to 9, a hint at the neighboring wing, and the fear and desire people usually attach to that type.

What you’ll learn

  • Which of the nine motives your answers lean toward
  • Whether a neighboring type is close enough to matter
  • The fear and the want people usually pair with that type

How scoring works

Each type has three items. We add the scores. The range is 3 to 15.

The highest total is your type. The higher of the two neighbors is the wing. For type 9, the neighbors are 8 and 1.

A tie goes to the lower number. If two scores are close, read both pages.

The Enneagram has a lot of schools and no single official test. This is our short version, not a typing interview with a teacher.

Questions

Is this as good as sitting with an Enneagram teacher?
No. A short quiz guesses from what you say about yourself. A decent teacher watches you over time. Use this as a first guess.
What is a wing?
The neighboring type that shows up next to yours. A 4 with a 5 wing and a 4 with a 3 wing don't read the same. We only report the higher neighbor, not a full tritype.
Can the type change?
A lot of people who use the Enneagram say the core stays put and stress changes the behavior. If two types both feel true, read both.
