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). T he 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. Part I: Selection Check all the traits that you think apply to you: Pragmatic Aesthetic Detached Clumsy Spontaneous Powerful Indulgent Nit-picking Sentimental Self-promoting Capricious Reserved Alert Joker Vigorous Patient Principled Demonstrative Go-getter Dramatic Receptive Ingenious Rigorous Warm-hearted E...

Enneagram Tritype Descriptions: Type Five

This is a list of descriptions for all the Enneagram Tritypes of type Five: it explores the flavours that each tritype configuration can bring to this type. Therefore they are by no means complete depictions of type Five and must be viewed as additions and orientations of the main characteristics of the leading type (which will remain fundamental). If you are a type Five and have decided on your tritype as well, feel free to leave a comment on how you experience it and how well the specific description fits you. There is always room for improvement. 5-2-1 : these Fives enjoy using their knowledge and expertise in the benefit of others and are typically attracted to humanitarian causes. They are more altruistic and generous than other Fives and also more social, involved and controlling. They want to help other people and usually do it by teaching them how to help themselves – they can make good teachers. However they have some trouble with acknowledging their own problems...

Enneagram compatibility - instinctual variants

There aren’t yet many studies that focus on the Enneagram types compatibiliy, but still one main idea managed to grab my attention. Although the instinctual variants aren’t technically a ‘part’ of the Enneagram types, as they exist independently of any typology whatsoever, it seems that the specific flavour they give to each type is actually one of the most poweful indicators for compatibility. Therefore it appears that indifferent to the Enneagram types involved in a relationship, the odds that they get along well are higher when their instinctual variants are the same or at least similar. Their shared values, their main focus point, as well as their common purpose can help build a strong connection to which both types bring a different yet enriching approach. I also could observe that the more a couple resembled in their instinctual stackings, the closer they seemed to be to having a beautiful, mutually satisfying relationship. There are of course exceptions and people wit...
