Enneagram Test: what it measures and how to read your score

The Enneagram is a model of the human psyche that identifies nine distinct personality types and their interconnections. Each type is defined by a core motivation, a central fear and characteristic behaviours. This test will help you identify your dominant type and understand your defence mechanisms, your deep motivations and your paths for personal development. The results will offer you concrete avenues to grow.

In the article that follows, I explore the nine enneagram types. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed an enneagram test that helps you take stock of your dominant type and deep motivations. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results.

Take the test: Enneagram Test → — Identify your dominant type among the nine, with its core motivation and its central fear.

What the test measures

• Pursuit of perfection, sense of duty, integrity and moral rigour.
• Need to help others, generosity, empathy and desire to be loved.
• Orientation towards success, ambition, adaptability and desire for recognition.
• Quest for authenticity, sensitivity, creativity and emotional depth.
• Thirst for knowledge, intellectual autonomy, reserve and analysis.
• Search for security, loyalty, caution and sense of responsibility.
• Pursuit of pleasure, optimism, versatility and enthusiasm.
• Strength, determination, protection of others and self-assertion.
• Search for inner peace, harmony, patience and acceptance.

How to interpret your score

The result reads as an intensity, not as a diagnosis:

• Weakly differentiated profile: Your scores are relatively low across all types. This may indicate a difficulty in identifying with a type, or great flexibility.
• Balanced profile: You show moderate traits across several types, which indicates a rich and nuanced personality.
• Marked profile: Some types clearly stand out in your profile, revealing your dominant motivations.
• Highly differentiated profile: One or two types strongly dominate your profile, indicating very clear core motivations.
