Step 2: Research
(Use our FREE 9 Types Guide)
To really 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.

If you’d like to know in even more details about each type, one book I recommend is The Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self Discovery. Reading this book really solidified my understanding of my type and even each member of my family’s type. Researching about the enneagram will give you a better understanding of the types so you can make an educated determination of your own type.
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. You might talk to friends and family that know you well to also explore you decision. However, you know yourself the best. Although friends may see you 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!

Congratulations! If you have gotten to Step 4, then you have probably determined you 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!
