HOW THIS TEST WORKS
How Enneagram Personality Test works
How version core-v7 is scored, and what it can and cannot tell you.
How it is scored
This test looks at the nine Enneagram types. Each type is about what a person wants most, what they fear most, and where their attention goes.
Part 1 has 54 sentences, six for each type. Each one covers a different side of the type: what it wants, what it fears, what it notices, a habit, how it treats others, and how it handles stress. You rate each sentence from "Not like me" (0 points) to "Just like me" (4 points).
Part 2 has 36 pairs of sentences. Every type is paired once with every other type, so each type shows up eight times. The two sentences in a pair are meant to sound equally good, so you pick what is true, not what sounds nice. Research shows that this kind of question makes it harder to just agree with everything. The sentence you pick gives its type 3.1 points.
Every type can earn the same number of points: up to 24 in Part 1 and up to 24.8 in Part 2. The extra tenth of a point in Part 2 only matters if two types tie. Then your Part 2 answers decide. Each type's points are turned into a score from 0 to 100. Your main type is the one with the highest score. Your wing is the type next to it on the Enneagram circle that scored higher.

What it cannot tell you
This test is for learning about yourself. It is not a diagnosis. Do not use it to hire people, choose people, or make health decisions.
Your scores only compare your own answers with each other. They do not compare you with other people. This test has not yet been checked with a large group of people, so we do not yet know how accurate it is.
A 2021 review of Enneagram research (Hook and others, Journal of Clinical Psychology) found mixed results. The types do line up with other personality tests in ways you would expect. But studies often find fewer than nine clear types, and there is little research on wings or on the links between types. Treat those parts of your result as ideas to explore.
How you answer can depend on your mood, what is going on in your life, and how you want to see yourself. If your top two types are close, read about both. Then think about which one best explains why you do things.
