Nine ways
of being in the world.

The Enneagram describes nine personality strategies — the basic fear, the basic desire, and the path of growth each one takes. This test compares pairs of statements, in the style of the classic instruments, and estimates your type from the why behind your actions, not the what.

The questions aim at the fears and desires behind what you do. Different people do the same things for opposite reasons.

Core type and wing
