Free Enneagram Personality Test

Has anyone ever taken an Ennegram Personality Test? Not only do these tests give good insight into individual personality types, they also help to smooth over and unify dysfunctional family dynamics by serving as a tool used to develop a deeper understanding of the ways in which oneself and others relate to the world and each other.

Based on this test, my highest score (by far) landed in Type 7: “The Enthusiast/Epicure” … my second highest score landed in Type 3: “The Achiever.”

The RHETI Sampler is a 36-question, forced-choice questionnaire based on the full, longer Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator (RHETI). The RHETI Sampler takes about 10 minutes to complete. For your results you will receive a chart with your scores for all nine types, for a full-spectrum profile, as well as short type descriptions. The RHETI Sampler is the first quarter of the full, scientifically validated RHETI.

The Types as Functions

Each of the personality types embodies a wide range of behaviors and attitudes. Each of the types can be seen as a metaphor or symbol of the full range of human potential. Seen this way, the nine personality types of the Enneagram are psychological "functions" or "domains" of an archetypal power or capacity of human nature. One reason we are all similar is that all nine functions operate in each of us. One reason we are all different is that their proportion and balance within our psyches is different and constantly shifting.
