The 2 Question Enneagram Test

The 2-Question Enneagram Test
Discover which of the nine Enneagram types may reflect your natural way of thinking, making decisions, and navigating relationships.
Just two questions. Less than five minutes. A starting point for understanding yourself and others.
While tests, even paid ones, can be anywhere from just 60-90% accurate, they can be a great starting point when you're new to the Enneagram.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Right now, at Enneagram MBA, during our training and workshops, we use a 144-question typing test from the Enneagram Institute. It takes about 30 minutes to complete, but it's still not completely accurate, so there's some additional digging needed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're not ready for that level of deep dive, below is a free Enneagram test, the 2-question Riso-Hudson QUEST, that will help you narrow down your top type(s) in less than five minutes with close to the same accuracy.
BEFORE YOU START: TEST INSTRUCTIONS
When you go through the questions:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) Select just one paragraph in the following two groups that best reflects your general attitude and behaviors as you have been for most of your life. Remember we have all 9-types inside of us, but one particular style is our "home base."
2) You do not have to agree 100% with every word or statement in the paragraph you select. You may only agree with 80-90%. You should, though, agree with the general philosophy of the paragraph - don't pick it just because of a single word or phrase.
3) Do not overanalyze your choices! Go with your gut.
When you're ready...
How did it go? Where did you land? Were the results what you were expecting?
How will you know when you've finally discovered your type?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
--> Finding your Enneagram type isn't always an instant aha moment. Sometimes it's a process of recognizing patterns, questioning assumptions, and getting curious about what's driving your behavior. The quiz gives you a place to begin.
--> Things that you have always known unconsciously about yourself will suddenly become clear and patterns will emerge.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Self-discovery is a process, and the process does not end with discovering your type - really, it's just the beginning!
