Reviews of Enneagram Personality Test

As most personality tests, the Enneagram was unlikely to give me an incredible insight of myself that I previously didn't have, or to give me 100 percent new information. However, there are always bits & pieces that can be gleamed off, and the in-depth report makes a good work of analyzing the details and most importantly, connecting them together and explaining how they interact. It has really helped me understand how some of my actions are driven, or by what, and opened my mind to working on it. I also found clear examples in my life that fit perfectly, which aided in self-confirming what was being written was not as generic as other tests. Seeing as the way it's written and described inspired confidence in me, and trust in the concept, I am also taking the development ideas to heart and really curious how that will work out and eager to start the process. As a disclaimer, I am also working with a therapist, I will consult the test results with them and I encourage anyone who wants a deeper understanding of themselves to do so as well, to allow an outside mind into theirs and get a secondary viewpoint.

I cannot believe how accurate this test was for me, it was a bit shocking actually. I am in a time in my life right now where I am trying to become the best version of myself that I can be and really develop as a human and understand who I am and what is holding me back from what I want. This personality was truly revealing and incredibly helpful in helping me with all that I listed above. I cannot understand how a test could tell me so much about myself in such a constructive and objective way and I recommend it to everyone.

Fairly good. A bit pricey for what it is. But, a good starting point

Doing the enneagram test is a fun and informative way to learn more about yourself. It is interesting to dive into different strengths and weaknesses to see where you can grow.

I am trained as a psychotherapist and work in the mental health field. A marital therapy client of mine turned me on to the Enneagram after learning about it from a referral source. I believe it is an accessible and relatively easy way to help clients understand their personal styles of thinking, feeling and behaving. There are other more "clinical" tools I use in my assessment, but I find myself looking for a training in the Enneagram so as to begin incorporating it in my practice.

Wow! Impressed with how accurate these results fit me!! Love that it doesn’t just “tell you what you are” but helps you understand your tendencies in certain situations and how your mental state affects your behaviors. And most importantly it identifies weaknesses and areas for development. I’ve taken many personality tests but found this one to be the most useful!

Super accurate

First things first, I was worried about buying the report; would it be worth it? How much is it going to cost? But I was pleasantly surprised at its affordability at $19, so I took the plunge. The report was spot-on, even explaining why I wasn't sure if I should invest in it! (I'm very concerned with security and safety; money is a tool for security, so did I want to risk it? I thought the risk was worth it for the price, and I still agree with that assessment.) I'm a One, a perfectionist, which echoed what people have been telling me for quite some time, though I've only recently started accepting its truth. So the report has several sections, including strengths, challenges, core belief, core weakness, core fear, core desire, and core traits. It discussed what I might experience emotionally, in relationships, and at work, and described likely childhood origins of our personalities. It described what our behavior and thoughts/feelings might look like when we're stressed versus thriving, and included information about two supporting aspects of our personality (wings) and two arrows pointing the way for growth. It recommends tasks on how to grow, and I laughed aloud when I read 'the mantra for Ones.' It's pretty much a secularized version of the Serenity Prayer, which oddly enough, is something I already repeat to myself often! I didn't expect to it see it right there in the report. I was amazed by its accuracy, but, true to form as a One, I most appreciated the tips for growth. Some things related to Ones didn't seem accurate for me, but when I got to the section on Wings, the secondary characteristics of my personality, it became clear. Those supporting characteristics mitigate the more...extreme aspects of my personality. Some parts of the report were a bit painful to read, such as in the childhood origins section, as I remembered instances in which the report was accurate. It brought up some of the core fears that I have...which the report identified for me and spelled out, putting into words what I've struggled to articulate thus far. It also explained some of the more meaningful parts of my childhood when some adults gave me what I most needed to thrive, and I agree that those actions were necessary for me. It was almost eerie how the report repeated certain things people have said to me. I've been told to lighten up and go play (which this report recommends...playfulness is a weakness of mine.), to go have fun and relax, that it's ok to make mistakes, that most mistakes (in the grand scheme of things) don't matter that much, that I'm worthy of love and acceptance, and to relieve some of the pressure that I place on myself. My therapist has been working with me on accepting 'good enough,' which is one of the tasks the report mentioned. Other things mentioned in the report that my therapist and I have discussed include being gentle with myself, trying to physically relax (I have chronic muscle tension/pain), and replacing negative thoughts from the inner critic with more positive and realistic ones. I have a worksheet devoted entirely to that last one; I believe it's part of CBT. I thought the report was worth it. I'm stressed out right now, trying to figure out where I want to go in life, and this report added self-knowledge and nuance to my thoughts. I appreciated the insights into my strengths and weaknesses, which has helped me think about the type of career that would be best for me (being a freelance editor might not be such a terrible choice for a perfectionist). I appreciated the suggestions for growth, and it showed me how Ones might tend to behave badly, which can help me work on responding, rather than reacting. I can see that I've made progress and growth on my own, which I didn't really appreciate or acknowledge, because it didn't seem notable. I could only see how far I had to go, which is also aligned with being a One. Yes, there were things I already knew about myself and what I needed to work on, but the report articulated it into words and then went into more depth, including 'next steps,' and that was valuable.

Very happy with this report. It was very detailed, easy to understand and accurate.

I really enjoyed taking this test and seeing my results. They really got me right, and it made me realize new aspects of my personality.
