Enneagram (nine personality types)

THE test of the enneagram classifies us into nine personality types (or enneatypes) corresponding to nine fundamental motivations, themselves linked to nine fundamental avoidances. According to its promoters, and unlike other psychological systems, the enneagram does not describe behaviors. On the contrary, it is interested in the underlying motivations that will cause behaviors in individuals. Each enneatype is driven by an avoidance compulsion. In this framework, we seek at all costs, and often unconsciously, to avoid a particular thing.

Even as children, we develop protective mechanisms to adapt to our environment. We repeat the strategy we consider best, until we practically no longer use it, to the detriment of other alternatives. This becomes our way of understanding the world, our personality. Once we reach adulthood, we have difficulty breaking out of this pattern, which limits our development. Becoming aware of our dominant facet allows us to become aware of our strengths and weaknesses, while opening up the field of possibilities.

The Enneagram test consists of 36 questions and takes approximately five minutes to complete.
