PSTypes Enneagram Test
This is a new free Enneagram test I have developed. It has 171 items and it will take you about 20 minutes to complete.
The accuracy of the final version of the test is rather high, considering the data so far. The sample consisted of 198 people that had previously decided on their Enneagram type (of course, all 9 Enneatypes were represented in the sample).
The highest score indicated the correct type in 82,6% of the cases. The main type was among the first two highest scores in 95,6% of the cases, and among the first three in 97,2% of the cases.
The highest score indicated the correct type in 82,6% of the cases. The main type was among the first two highest scores in 95,6% of the cases, and among the first three in 97,2% of the cases.
I will make updates of the test's accuracy as I gather more data, but I don't expect radical changes to the figures.

I'm a enfp (low E) 6w7.. I'm moody and swing from needy to independent, reserved to outgoing, thrifty to indulgent, ect ect. 6's are hard to pin down. 6w5s because many are rebels against authority and want tear down hypocrisy.. they are vigilant and reclusive... but can become obsessive and confrontational about interpersonal relationships and or unjust authority figures when in lower health.
Good test though!
Anyway, my top four scores were:
Five: 47
Four: 40
Nine: 37
Six: 33
This 4w5/5w4 issue is noticeable but not prevalent in the test. To be more accurate, out of all declared 5w4s that took the test, 20% got 4w5 and 80% got 5.
I have made several modifications to the items in the meantime, so this issue might have a different (hopefully smaller) percentage now.
As this instrument is still in its beta phase, it's being under perpetual evaluation and change.
What I can tell you up to now, is that on 96% of the cases the test identified the correct type among the first 3 highest scores.
On 91% of the cases it identified it among the first two scores.
And on 77% of the cases, it identified it in the highest score.
I scored high on 1, 5 and 9. 6th was my 4th highest.
I scored an 8w7. I always score this type. I don't know why, I try my best not to get this stupid E type by answering like I'm sensitive. It never works.
Anyway, if I got the same result as I get on other tests. That's a good sign. Maybe you should be making money out of this and putting in some google ads. You've got potential and I'm sure lots of people would visit your test frequenty. Do it. Build a website and put some ads or make them pay for a full version of your test.
Thanks!
I usually end up being 1w9. On your test it was a tie between 1w9 and 5w6. I've heard that 1's are commonly mistyped as 5's. Especially 1w9's. Do you think this is possible? I'm confused with my results though...
One: 34
Four: 23
Five: 34
Six: 30
Seven: 27
Nine: 23
I'm all across the board so I'm not sure which way I should interpret my results. Any suggestions? Oh, and I'm also a INTP.
These two types can resemble quite well and might be hard to tell apart, but more often for J types.
I appreciate you feedback. Lately I've been changing some items for type 6 and I hope the accuracy of scores will improve for this type as well. It is the only one I'm still having some trouble with.
This is why, I want to ask all Sixes to take this test again if they are willing to. I need to review the accuracy for this type and probably continue to make the necessary adjustments.
Thanks!
Top 4:
Five: 56
Four: 32
Six: 31
Nine: 26
My highest scores are type 4 (58), type 6 (46), type 1 (33), and type 5 (30).
I'm curious about the tritype 4-1-6 and 4-6-1. I know you posted the 1 tritypes a while ago and that 1-4-6 is related to 4-1-6 and 4-6-1. What are some of the differences?
For years I was torn between an ennea-type 5 or a type 7, but instinctively felt I was a 7w6 - which your test just said I was.
ENTP on the MBTI (like 30 times since the Duniho/Duniho DOS test came out in 1994, and others), and a Ne-ILE in Socionics typing.
Thanks again, I'll be scouring more of your blog now for interesting stuff!
As far as MBTI goes, I am an INFJ without a doubt, and my J score is very very high.
I have been a Type 5, or type 5w4, every time I've taken an enneagram test. Your test was consistent with those results.
I am also consistently an INTP on the Myers-Briggs test.
It said that I was a 9w1 but I think I may be more of a 5w4.
My top 3 scores were:
Nine-49
Five-45
Four-42
I got 3 for Type One and 0 for Type Eight.
For reference, I usually test INFJ. Until I took this test, I scored Type 1, 8, and 9 with a smattering of wings 1w9, 9w1, 1w2, 8w9. This was the first time I'd ever tested 4 (4w5) , and had therefore never read the description before. 4w5 was much more accurate than anything I'd ever read.
Thank you for creating a test accurate enough to point me in the right direction.
BUT I'm not at all detached, I'm more communicative and outgoing than most 4w5s and into stuff like PR and image, more theatrical and like an audience. I'm an ENFP, but of the less bubbly kind and not fickle. That ties in with the 3 wing.
4, 2, 1, 8. I never type 5, 7, or 9. What I have typed is 3, which is absurd. This happens when the results are skewed by questions about the value I place on things like prestige, acclaim, being admired, etc., which is very high, on simpler tests (well, they are all simpler, to their detriment). But I am the last person in the world who could ever be a three (really). And you are the only one who not only weeded out the red herring, but put it at the bottom of the options where it belongs with the 9.
I took the test to find out about the tests, not me. So one thing I'll throw out to you is that RH are completely wrong that a person can't have two wings. I have no idea how they have been able to be completely right in their descriptions of the wings and of their importance and completely wrong in saying that having both is the same as having none, but they are. In fact their denial of the existence of two wings is really stupid. You have me as 6 wing 7, I actually have both wings very strong (buddy/defender as called by RH, which explains a LOT. The w5 they explain is 8'ish, the w7 2'sh, and I am both). Well, anyway, I suspect you may think there is only one possible wing, or anyway only one strong one, so I want to clarfiy that this is not true. Since your test is so good, if this is the case, you may want to tweak it so it can reflect two wings.
Interesting how it mixes different types of questionnaires, and fun to make.
My top five scores were:
Nine: 54
Five: 50
Six, Seven: 31
Four: 30
I have no idea how to interpret, as I've only heard of the Enneagram, but never taken or read much about it.
I haven't changed anything in the code in years so I'm assuming it might have Blogger.com that changed something?
I'm looking into it, sorry for the inconvenience.
Five - 51

Wow! Surprising, but not really. I think I am 6w5 (tritype 641). IME, 1-fixed 6s are more grounded and also feel they have a huge 5-wing. The 9 doesn't surprise me either. I'm also conflict avoidant.
Again, thanks for solving the problem. I was curious about the result I was going to get here.
I loved your test and I will recommend it to my student. I am yoga teacher and I find it very interesting to see the type for more specific yoga practice.
If I am the 5, I agree with an older comment that your test can make sexual 5s get high 4 scores. I felt that way when I was taking the tests and upon reviewing the scores. But no great matter. Thanks again!
I think my 5, since I'm the unorganized and dreamy 5-4-9, tends to show up in the 7 & 4 columns quite a bit.
Type One: 40
Type Two: 14
Type Three: 19
Type Four: 28
Type Five: 48
Type Six: 38
Type Seven: 5
Type Eight: 19
Type Nine: 40
I'm fairly sure I'm an INTJ or ISTJ in MBTI and I thought I was either 1w9 or 5w4. Your test said 5w6 but 1w9 is fairly close. Thoughts?
"I'm rather laid-back, easy-going and not very ambitious – I believe things will sort out by themselves." drive me nuts. Yeah, laid-back, not super ambitious, but things sure won't fix themselves until someone gets arsed to fix them.
"I enjoy helping others and assisting them with their personal problems – I give other people a lot of my time and energy. Being needed makes me feel loved." Or this - the action, sure, I like helping people, but I don't really resonate at all with the second part.
"I believe nothing is impossible, therefore I tend to push myself and others to the limit. I want to leave a mark, do something that will have a real impact in the world."
Hell yes there are impossible things in the world. Doesn't mean I don't want to leave a mark and do something that has real impact.
Would be much better if it was action - list of possible motivations.

Your probable Enneagram Type
Your main type is 5.
Considering the wings you should be a 5w6.
Proud of that !
I thought I was 4w5 before taking this test, but somehow it wasn't me. After taking this test I got 5w6 which describes me!
5: 49
4: 47
7: 47
The rest were in the 20s or 10s
Been identified as a 5w4,4,8 tritype but the 7 always seemed more like me than the 8... Maybe the Fauvre's were wrong, and their basis of tritypes is faulty. Maybe I'm a 547 tritype
For me, it provided much more useful personal-stance typing than any other enneagram quiz I've taken. It's much more actionable than the Meyers-Briggs perspective. To me it indicates fluidity and ability to shift one's personality assemblage point. We are not stuck, although we seem to have an assigned bias.
Thank you for helping.
Your test identified me as a 4w5, which was the conclusion I came to DESPITE the free online tests tending to strongly favour a 1 type reading (but 2 and 9 getting almost null readings...what's up with that?). The personality type fits much more accurately; the interactions, fears, stress and security lines, and even romantic partners are all spot on when I check the 4w5 interpretations.
So this is to say thank you, and I'm 'sold' on your accuracy. Would like to see this come up much higher in Google search results for free enneagram tests. Bravo!
And I know why it chose 4 because it was the highest number, but why did it pick 5 if it wasn't the nest highest number? If It went in highest to least I'd be 4w9, is that even a thing?

Accurate result too, I got 5w4 which resonates strongly with me.
I'm a bit late to the party by the looks of things but thanks anyway!

It says my main type is 7, and my subtype is 7w6. As expected, i absolutely do not have any type 8 characteristics (lol). What i didnt expect was the fairly high number of my 2 type.
Also, is it possible for and infp to be a 7w6?Just curious
