The Enneagram is a fascinating model of the human psyche. Everyone should take the test at least once in their lifetime!
Used in therapy, business, and self-development circles, the Enneagram is a powerful tool that can increase your self-awareness, empower you with self-understanding, and increase your self-love.
The Enneagram is also a highly psycho-spiritual model (meaning that it caters to human psychology and spirituality) that can support you on your spiritual journey.

How Does the Enneagram Work?
The word ‘enneagram’ is composed of the two Greek words ennéa (meaning nine) and grámma (meaning something written). And that is the crux of the enneagram: it reveals the nature of the human personality by dividing it into nine different archetypes.
The interesting thing about the Enneagram is that it possesses a number of different facets that help us to identify:
(1) what we desire more than anything else,(2) what we value the most, (3) what tempts us the most, (4) what causes us the most fear, (5) what our biggest fault is, (6) what our greatest virtue is.
Our enneagram test (bottom of page) will help you to identify these different facets and what you need to pay attention to.
The 9 Enneagram Types
The nine Enneagram types include:
- Type 1 – The Reformer
- Type 2 – The Giver
- Type 3 – The Performer
- Type 4 – The Individualist
- Type 5 – The Observer
- Type 6 – The Loyalist
- Type 7 – The Idealist
- Type 8 – The Challenger
- Type 9 – The Peacemaker
It is common to find a little bit of yourself in all nine Enneagram types. However, one or two of them should stand out for you as revealed by this enneagram test. These are your dominant personality types.
How Understanding the Enneagram Could Transform Your Life
The Enneagram Typology was first conceptualized by the mystic Gurdjieff and developed further by Oscar Ichazo and psychiatrist Claudio Naranjo.
There are several reasons why understanding your Enneagram type is so helpful:
- It helps you to become more objectively aware of your personality “blind spots”
- It assists you in developing more self-love by helping you to understand yourself more
- It encourages you to consciously work on parts of your personality that inhibit your ability to live a harmonious life
- It allows you to develop more awareness of your “higher self” (Soul) by deconstructing your personality
Keep in mind that the Enneagram is more of a system of transformation than a means of labeling and identification. Perhaps the most amazing thing about the Enneagram is that it encourages the development and liberation of the Soul underneath.
Enneagram and Spiritual Awakening
The power of the enneagram lies in its ability to lead us to higher awareness. By helping us to understand the root of our fixations and various neurosis, we learn about our ego structure and where it broke off from Divine consciousness (called the ‘Holy Idea’). We also learn what quality we need to develop in order to deepen our spiritual awakening journey.
In his Enneagram book Facets of Unity, A. H. Almaas writes,
The … view of the Enneagram is that each ennea-type fixation is the expression of a limited mental perspective on reality, and that each of the nine egoic perspectives is the direct result of the loss or absence of the enlightened perception of one of the Holy Ideas … Working with the Enneagram as part of a larger spiritual work, however, leads to a much deeper realization of truth and thus, a freedom from personality patterns.

Well it was interesting knowing what type of personality I have .
I’m happy to hear that Adriana :)
Why i kept getting difficult results everytime i do the test. .so it means i have no specific personality thank u
This is really insightful, thank you so much! I got high scores in pretty much every types, the lowest was 60% for Mediator, all of the other ones were around 80% to 90% and 100% on the Romantic archetype. Why are my scores so high and what does it imply as far as self-understanding?
I took the lest and it would appear that I was relatively high in all the areas (at least 66%) apart form The Performer (54%), with my highest two being the observer and the mediator (both at 92%).
I’m a music producer in Nashville, TN. Dominant 4, (individualist) with strong wing 7 (enthusiaist). Never had something describe so well what I’ve always felt about myself but could not articulate. Like teared up at it’s accuracy, kind of nuts, like this thing is some kind of counselor or something. It’s a complex combo, but at least gives me a framework that is really helpful. And as a side, I dated a “boss” (8) a few months ago…wish I took this then. It just did not work and I wanted (needed) out. Was on eggshells allllways and miserable. But even still, ripped me to total shreds inside to cause her pain/sadness.
I took the test twice, a few hours ago and now. I wanted to look at the descriptions again, and realized I’d have to redo the test. The results were curious and interesting. In both cases The Observer dominated and is consistent with me. A few areas were stable across the tests, and a couple fluctuated, based on how I was feeling and how I interpretted the questions. It’s an interesting way to self-reflect. Thank you for this!
