If you are motivated to find out more about how the Enneagram can help you, but you don't know your ennea-type, here's a few ways you can discover it:
- There are various questionnaires available online, some free, some not. Some people are easily able to establish their ennea-type with a questionnaire, but for some it is not that simple. If you want to try this approach, the best thing is to search for several tests online, and do them all, and see if you get a consistent result. It can be helpful to go back and re-do the same test too, to see if you are being consistent.
- Because we often have built in tendencies to avoid being classified as a type (and therefore have the potential for discovering uncomfortable limiting beliefsthat we don't want to own), sometimes tests are not that useful, or at worst, misleading. Therefore the best approach is to read about all the types in a good book, and establish your ennea-type that way. If you are serious about learning from the Enneagram, check out Sandra Maitri's book The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram.
It is very important to be sure that you have established the correct ennea-type, so it is worth taking your time and learning a bit about all the the types before making a decision. Sandra has several helpful suggestions in the above book, to help you to determine your type, and to determine between any that may at first glance seem hard to pick between. |
