This test consists of questions that will help you understand your core fears, desires, and motivations in life. Keep in mind, questionnaires are just one way to find out your true type. Researching the Enneagram and looking at the various types is also important. This is not the official RHETI test, which you can take over at the Enneagram Institute. However, as a certified Enneagram coach, I’ve tried to make this questionnaire as accurate and informative as I can.

What is the Enneagram?

The Enneagram of Personality (from the Greek words ἐννέα [ennéa, meaning “nine”] and γράμμα [grámma, meaning something “written” or “drawn”]), is a model of the human personality which is principally understood and taught as a typology of nine interconnected personality types. These types are labeled One through Nine, and no number is better than another. The numbers don’t imply a “rank” of better or worse type. A One isn’t better than a Nine or vice versa.

The Enneagram can tell you what your core desires and fears are. It can also help you to explore the childhood struggles you faced and how you’ve learned to cope with them as an adult.

While typology systems like the MBTI® can tell you how your mind is wired and what information you prioritize, the Enneagram can show you more about your traumas, coping mechanisms, and unconscious fears and desires. Understanding your type (and the types of your loved ones) can help you to grasp the underlying reasons why you’ve made very crucial decisions in life.

For example, Fours often felt like they didn’t fit into their families. They didn’t feel understood. Because of this, developing a sense of identity is vital to the Four.

Nines felt that they served their families better when they didn’t assert themselves. They tended to “numb” their pains so that they wouldn’t bother anyone. For this reason, their core fear is complete fragmentation.

While this can all sound kind of scary, it’s important to know. The more we understand our backgrounds, our pain, and our coping mechanisms, the better we can grow and move past trauma responses.

The Three Triads of the Enneagram:

If you tested as 8, 9, or 1, you’re in the Instictive triad of the Enneagram. You are concerned with resistance and control of your environment. You may confront your environment and try to control it (8), hold a boundary against it (1), or resist it (9). You seek autonomy and struggle with underlying feelings of rage. You may repress these feelings (9 and 1) or express them directly (8). You are often concerned with life functioning, survival, and not being affected by the world while still being a part of it.

If you tested as 2,3, or 4, you’re in the Feeling triad of the Enneagram. You are concerned with love and self-image. You may try to gain love or identity through selflessness (2), success (3), or a quest for self (4). You want to gain a sense of true love, affection, approval, and value with others. You struggle with underlying feelings of shame.  You may repress these feelings (2 and 3) or express them directly (4).

If you tested as 5,6, or 7, you’re in the Thinking triad of the Enneagram. You are concerned with strategies, planning, and beliefs. You struggle with a mind that can never be quiet. You can’t seem to get your mind to simmer down or shut up long enough for you to rest in yourself. You seek security through knowledge, and you have underlying struggles with fear.  You may try to address your fear through hoarding knowledge (5), looking at every worst-case scenario (6), or escaping your fear through activity (7).
