Determining one's core Enneagram type is a very difficult thing to do, there are a lot of factors to consider, so the majority of tests aren't very accurate. You need to study the various types individually and then analyze your behaviour and thoughts.

However, some tests can at least give you an idea. This is, in my opinion, the test which actually gets closer to the truth: Eclectic Energies Enneagram Tests (free) (do them both)

Yeah.... The Chakras though strike me as almost complete bullshit though.
Unless there is some reliable, empirical evidence to back it up, then treat the damn thing with suspicion and paranoia.

 

Don't remember doing the variant one, before... I'm not 100% sold on my type, so can't say for certain how accurate it is. THAT said, it matches up pretty well with the way things look at this moment.

Got 8 SP for #1

Followed by 1 SX just ahead of 5 SX. Next one down was a bigger drop to 3 SP. Then another big gap until a cluster of 4sx, 7so, 9sp, 6sp. Then waaaaaay down at the bottom was 2sx.

Little different on the other test, and the results contradict a bit. "You are most likely a 3. Taking wings into account, you are most likely an 8w7."


Top 10:

Wing 8w7 - 14.1
Wing 3w4 - 13
Wing 3w2 - 12.9
Wing 8w9 - 12.6
Wing 7w8 - 12.1
Wing 1w9 - 10.9
Wing 1w2 - 10.9
Wing 5w4 - 9.7
Wing 4w3 - 9.5
Wing 2w3 - 9.2


----------------------

Anyway, looks like if I am mistyped, it's in the wing. 8w7 vs 8w9.

Probably 835 tritype? Or 837. The variants and tritypes still bewilder me a bit.

 

At the OP: Pro tip, but enneagram is not given to you by just taking a test. You need to do your research and look into the motivations and see what core fears motivate and drive your behavior and thinking the most.

 

THIS! In order to really discover your type take a step back and observe your behavior and were does your attention go to. Re-examine what it is that you are constantly focusing on and more importantly what is your motivation for doing so.

 

Though I think serious introspection, reflection, and reading on the theory is necessary to actually understand what type you are and what it's all about, I do like one specific test that seems to be generally on the mark in terms of starting people off with an idea of what their type may be:

Personality Types: PSTypes Enneagram Test - Enneagram and Myers Briggs

Again, I don't generally like personality tests, but this one has nice balanced questions, and is a nice jumping pad for further research on Enneagram type. Highly recommend it, as a skeptic of personality tests.

Just out of curiosity.

• Type One:25
• Type Two:17
• Type Three:15
• Type Four:47
• Type Five:46
• Type Six:45
• Type Seven:23
• Type Eight:17
• Type Nine:21
• Your main type is 4.
  Considering the wings you should be a 4w5.
  No. lolz.

 

Best enneagram type test :
1) read about enneagram
2) understand enneagram
3) understand yourself
4) determine your type

Test are not accurate, they give me 4 each time but Im 6...

 

imo the PerC test is underrated/overlooked. I mean, you can't actually determine your type with tests but from the tests that I have taken, it's the one I like best lol.

 

Both those tests are so ambiguous. For most of those questions I second-guessed them. And they're inconsistent; I got wildly divergent results on each of them, despite taking them only minutes apart. The second test especially: I'm not sure if it truly is testing motivations, or just behavior, because I scored highly as a 5... yet again.

 

@RoSoDude, yeah, I've taken that test. It's fairly good, I think.

Type One: 13
Type Two: 31
Type Three: 9 (I don't even know how I managed that )
Type Four: 23
Type Five: 20
Type Six: 49
Type Seven: 33
Type Eight: 0 (Lol)
Type Nine: 60 (<-- Aahhh...)

I tried to answer honestly but some of the statements seemed rather constricting. The hardest part honestly was when it wanted me to choose between the pairs of words. Sometimes I felt divided 50/50 and sometimes I just couldn't relate to any pair at all. Sometimes I think I went by my own definition of those words. Like it made me choose between "whimsical, emotional" and "controlled, disciplined", both of which are definite parts of me. And it depends on how you view me and when you see me which one I swing more towards. I have a hard time seeing myself as "controlled, disciplined" (especially disciplined) although some people would say I definitely am. I can see myself as "controlled", though. At the same time I can see a definite "whimsical, emotional" side. And for every pair I had a problem like that. XD

Especially between things like "engaging, sociable" and "quiet, reclusive". It depends. There's not one I do more than the other... Or "unsure, worrying" and "carefree, confident". That one drove me insane.

 

Well, I searched through some of my old conversations I had with people about the Enneagram and tests and such, and it appears that I didn't actually get zero three on at least one of my trials with the pstypes Enneagram test. I believe this was the first time I had taken the test. Sorry for lying, @sodden. My original scores:

One: 16
Two: 19
Three: 13
Four: 27
Five: 43
Six: 49
Seven: 12
Eight: 0
Nine: 42


Similar to yours, @Julia Bell. Dat zero 8. But your 9 score is crazy high. And yes, sometimes the word choice ones were a little strange. Sometimes, I'd agree with only one of the two words on one side (e.g. whimsical, but not emotional), and that would sometimes happen with both choices, so I had to somehow evaluate which had a higher net score... meaning I had to ask myself if the "magnitude" of my whimsicality overcame the "magnitude" of my lack of emotionality. Or something like that. However, I suspect that the general approach of that section of the test was probably to sort between types that can otherwise be quite similar in some respects, such as 6 and 9, or 9 and 2, or 5 and 6, which have also have very defining characteristics that delineate them. So if your score would have been very close between 6 and 9 from the single-purpose questions of before, the mechanic of the last portion of the test would have been to better differentiate those types. Unfortunately, if you are really close between those types, you may just swing to one side from trying to discern between those two sides of yourself.

 

i'm type 5,i think my tri type is 586.
Wing 5w6 - 16.2
Wing 5w4 - 15.9
Wing 6w5 - 13.4
Wing 4w5 - 12.7
Wing 8w7 - 12.5
Wing 8w9 - 10.7
Wing 6w7 - 9.5
Wing 4w3 - 7

 

586 doesn't exist, can only be from one of each of [234], [567], [891].

 

You are most likely a type 7.

Taking wings into account, you seem to be a 5w4.

Type 7 - 12.3
Type 5 - 11.7
Type 4 - 8.3
Type 9 - 7
Type 3 - 6.7
Type 8 - 6
Type 6 - 5.3

Wing 5w4 - 15.9
Wing 7w8 - 15.3
Wing 7w6 - 15
Wing 5w6 - 14.4
Wing 4w5 - 14.2
Wing 8w7 - 12.2
Wing 4w3 - 11.7
Wing 6w7 - 11.5
Wing 6w5 - 11.2
Wing 3w4 - 10.9
Wing 9w8 - 10
Wing 8w9 - 9.5
Wing 9w1 - 8.4
Wing 3w2 - 7.6

You are most likely a type 4 (the Individualist)
with balanced wings

Social variant

Type 4 SO


Type 7 SO


Type 3 SX
