The Enneagram Personality Test
The Enneagram provides a framework for helping us better understand
ourselves. In a non-judgmental way, we learn more about our overall
behavior patterns, underlying motivations and attitudes, as well as our
unique strengths and gifts. It is an excellent tool when considering a new
career direction, offering insight and guidance that leads to choosing a
career optimally suited for one’s personality. The Enneagram is used in
many different disciplines, such as business and leadership development,
education, healthcare and psychology. Some of the organizations that use
the Enneagram are Kaiser Permanente, Genentech, Walt Disney Company,
Apple, and the Federal Reserve Bank.
The first step is to take the test to identify your personality type. Once you
find your type and start reading about the characteristics, you will have the
sense that you are reading about yourself. Not everything will apply to you,
and while it may be hard to see some of the less flattering qualities, each
type has abundant strengths and gifts. Although we are only one out of the
nine types, we possess qualities from each of the other 8 types.
