The Enneagram is a raging personality test. The model distinguishes 9 different types. Through this comprehensive test, we find out which types are dominant in you. There are always more than one. Each type has unique characteristics, patterns and its own growth path.

You get to know yourself better through the lens of the test results. This not only gives you perspective, but also shows you where you can grow. In addition, it provides tools for better cooperation with someone who has a different pin code.

The test takes about 20 minutes to complete. There are no right or wrong answers and no better or worse outcomes. Complete the test spontaneously, in a place where you won’t be disturbed.


Click on 1 if you think ‘no way’ or ‘really not,’ and click on 5 if you think ‘absolutely’ or ‘that’s me!’ For everything in between choose 2, 3, or 4. The test works best when you answer spontaneously. Just go with the flow. The best part is, there’s no right or wrong, everything is okay. Have fun!
