The New Enneagram Test

This test is designed to identify a person's Enneagram type. If you are unfamiliar with the Enneagram you can find more information from the HOME page.

The test is comprised of 36 questions; each question poses a choice between two statements. You may answer either strongly or moderately in favour of one of the two statements, or you may ignore the question by choosing no preference if neither statement applies (or if both apply equally). Try to answer as many questions as possible, but don't force yourself to if you don't identify with either choice. Remember to answer questions based on how you really are now, and not based on an idealized image of yourself. Answering based on how you would like to see yourself will not give you any better results, it will only make your results less accurate and lower the chance of identifying your type. Please be honest.

Note: To ensure that the scoring server is working, you might want to check by answering a few questions, then press SCORE TEST. If you have problem getting the entire test, try reloading (refreshing) the page.
