The Enneagram is a personal and professional development system that describes nine key personality types, each with their own instinctive, emotional, and mental tendencies. Each of these personalities also reflects a central leadership style and behavioral patterns.
Please read all the steps below before starting your assessment, especially what is written as IMPORTANT at the end of the page.
1. Initial instructions
Answer all assessments with honesty, being true to yourself. Do not try to overanalyze the questions, rationalize, or try to find the best answer. It does not exist!! There is no right or better answer, and no one will judge you for your answers.
Be yourself. Follow your heart and be spontaneous: choose the statement that most closely matches you, not who you (think you) wish to be.
That’s why we suggest you calm down before each assessment by doing the breathing exercise described in the instructions below.
2. Step-by-step
- Prepare to be free, focused, and undisturbed for about 15 minutes. Turn off your phone, email, and any other gadgets that may distract you.
- Sit in the chair with your feet on the ground, hands resting on your legs, and your back straight, close your eyes and take five deep breaths, inhaling to fill your lungs, holding for a few seconds, and exhaling as much as you can.
- Take the Enneagram Test:
– On your computer, you can access https://www.idrlabs.com/enneagram/test.php, answer the questions and copy/print your results at the end.
– On your phone, you can download at your phone’s store any Enneagram app (e.g. the “Enneagram Test” app by Caíque Coelho), open it, click on the button where you can take the test and copy/print your results at the end.
IMPORTANT: In the end, the website/app will show you your result. Take a copy (“print”) of the screen or write down your results (the 3 types and points). Be careful: depending on the website/app, if you leave the results page, you will no longer have access to them, and you will have to answer everything again. Please avoid this from happening.
If you have any questions, please contact us.
