Enneagram Test — Free 36-Question 9 Personality Types

The Enneagram test has 4 statements for each of the 9 types, 36 in all. You answer each one on a 5-point scale from 'Strongly disagree' to 'Strongly agree', and the 4 answers for each type are turned into a 0–100 score, so you see all 9 scores. Because every type is scored separately rather than competing for a single vote, it is perfectly normal for two or three types to come out high at the same time. A score of 67 or more is shown as high, 34 or more as moderate, and anything lower as low.

The highest score becomes your main type (on a tie, the lower number), and of the two types sitting right next to it, the one with the higher score becomes your wing. For example, if Type 2 is your main type and Type 1 scores higher than Type 3, your result code is 2w1. All 9 scores appear on a radar chart, so you can see at a glance how far apart your first and second places are and how strong your wing is compared with your main type.

The result opens with the core motivation and core fear of your main type, because the Enneagram holds that the same behaviour can mean different things depending on what a person wants and what they are trying to avoid. Then come strengths and watch-outs, how you look under stress and in security, and your directions of growth and stress along the arrows of the Enneagram figure. Type 1, The Reformer, for instance, is described as borrowing the ease of Type 7, The Enthusiast, when secure, and showing the face of Type 4 when worn down.

The three instinctual variants near the end (self-preservation, social and one-to-one) are not scored by this test — they are introduced as descriptions only, so read them and decide for yourself which one sounds closest to you. And because this is a self-report test, what you are going through lately, your mood that day and the picture of who you would like to be can easily mix into your answers. Your type tends to stand out more clearly when you answer with the reasons behind your behaviour in mind, rather than the behaviour itself.

The Enneagram is a personality model that places types on nine points around a circle and uses the lines between them to describe movement in growth and under stress. It has been used widely in self-reflection, counselling and coaching rather than as a standardised research scale, so the result works best not as a verdict that defines you but as a starting point for asking what you most want and most fear. Keep in mind, too, that no type is considered better or worse than another.

Each of the 9 types also has its own explanation page, so if some types scored close to your main one, read those pages as well. When you retake the test you can compare the new result with your previous one — a good way to check whether your main type and wing hold steady after a big change.
