Finding Your Enneagram Type

The Enneagram is simply a system of personality typing that describes the nine personality types. Your Type is defined by your core belief about how the world works. It’s based on the motivations behind your behaviors, not your actions.

Identifying your Enneagram Type is your first step in understanding yourself and your loved ones in a compassionate, loving way.

Step 1: FREE Enneagram Personality Type Test

You can take our FREE Enneagram Personality Type test here.

Please note that you will be asked to enter your email address to sign up for our newsletter to receive your results. Of course, you can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time!

After taking the test, here’s what you need to know. Note your TOP 3 types, not just your top type. Why? No enneagram test is 100% accurate, but you are very likely to be one of those top 3 types! Do not worry about the percentages for each of the Types, that is how tests are scored, but they are not really determinative of your Type. Once you have noted your top 3 results, it’s time to do some research.

Step 2: Research

To identify your true type, you will need to do a little research to confirm your type. After reading the descriptions of your top 3 types from our Test, you may still want to do more research. Our FREE 9 Types Guide will give you a description of each of the types. Once you take our Enneagram Personality Type Test, you will receive an email with our 9 Types Guide. The Guide will walk you through the core desires, fears, longings, and weaknesses of each type. Don’t skip this step because it will help you to understand each Enneagram Type better.

If you want to go deeper, I also recommend reading an Enneagram book. My book, “Illustrated Enneagram” was written especially for beginners to the Enneagram. Another great Enneagram book is “The Road Back to You”.

Step 3: Reflect

If your enneagram type isn’t obvious or you can’t decide between a couple of types, it’s okay to take some time to reflect on the information you have gathered.  

If you still aren’t able to determine your type after some quick research, you may just need to take a little longer self-awareness journey. Rest assured that even if it takes you some time to determine your Type, you are normal. Everyone’s path to finding their Type is unique!

You might talk to friends and family who know you well to also explore your decision. However, you know yourself the best. Although friends may see your behaviors, only you will know what motivated those behaviors. Take a little time to reflect on your type before deciding, if you are struggling. There’s no rush to decide!

Step 4: Growth

Congratulations! If you have gotten to Step 4, then you have probably determined your Enneagram Type. But, don’t let your journey end here. Keep learning more about your type and how it will contribute to your self-understanding.  With more self-understanding, you will experience more true joy in your life!
