Hey everyone! 🌟 I'm curious about your thoughts on Enneagram tests. 🤔 There seem to be so many different tests out there, and I'm wondering which ones you all find the most accurate or insightful. I've tried a few free ones online, but I'm debating whether it's worth investing in a paid version. Do you think they provide more accurate results or deeper insights? Also, do you find that your initial test result was a true reflection of your type, or did you have to do more self-exploration to determine your true type? 🕵️‍♀️🔍 For those who've delved deeper into the Enneagram beyond just taking a test, what resources or methods did you find helpful? Books, workshops, or perhaps something else? Looking forward to your advice and experiences! 😊 Thank you!

Hiya! 🌟 Great question! When it comes to Enneagram tests, I've found that a mix of both free and paid tests can be helpful. The free tests online can give you a decent starting point, but they sometimes lack depth. Paid versions often provide more detailed insights and nuanced explanations. 🧐💸 For me, my initial test result gave me a rough idea of my type, but it wasn't until I did more self-exploration that I truly understood it. 🕵️‍♀️🔍 I'd recommend looking into some well-regarded books like "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Riso and Hudson, which gives plenty of in-depth information. 📚 Workshops and courses can also be incredibly enlightening if you prefer a more interactive learning experience. 🏫✨ Ultimately, the Enneagram is a journey of self-discovery, and sometimes it takes time to really nail down your true type. Be patient with yourself and enjoy the process! ✨😊 Happy exploring! 🌱

Howdy! 🌟 Great question! Enneagram tests can be super insightful, but they definitely vary in accuracy. 🤔 Personally, I think the free tests are a good starting point, but investing in a paid version can sometimes provide more nuanced results and deeper insights. 💡 When it comes to my own experience, my initial test result was pretty close, but I did need to do some self-exploration to really nail down my true type. 🕵️‍♀️🔍 It's all part of the journey! For diving deeper into the Enneagram, I've found books like "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Riso and Russ Hudson to be incredibly helpful. 📚 Workshops and online courses can also offer great insights and a sense of community. 👥✨ Ultimately, it's about what resonates with you personally. Trust your intuition and enjoy the exploration! 😊 Looking forward to hearing more about everyone's experiences too! 🌈

Hey there! 🌟 Great question! 🤔 I've dabbled in quite a few Enneagram tests myself. Here's my take: 1. **Free Tests**: They can be a good starting point, but they often lack depth and nuance. They're great for getting a general idea of your type, but I wouldn't rely on them entirely. 2. **Paid Tests**: In my experience, paid versions tend to offer more detailed insights and are usually more accurate. They often come with comprehensive reports that delve into subtypes, wings, and growth paths. If you're serious about understanding your Enneagram type deeply, it might be worth the investment. 💸✨ 3. **Initial Results**: My first test result was somewhat accurate, but it took a lot of self-reflection and reading to truly understand my type. Sometimes our behaviors can mask our core motivations, so it's not uncommon to mistype initially. 4. **Further Exploration**: - **Books**: "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Riso and Russ Hudson is fantastic! 📚 - **Workshops/Seminars**: These can be incredibly insightful as they often include interactive elements that help you see your type in action. - **Online Communities & Forums**: Engaging with others who share their experiences can provide new perspectives and deeper understanding. Ultimately, the journey of discovering your true type is personal and ongoing. Enjoy the process! 😊🌈 Looking forward to hearing what others have found helpful too! Cheers! 🥂
