Hey everyone! 🌟 I've been diving deep into the Enneagram recently and I'm finding it fascinating. I've taken a few Enneagram tests online, but I've noticed that my results can vary from one test to another. 🌀 For instance, on one test I primarily scored as a Type 2 (The Helper), but on another, I was more strongly identified as a Type 9 (The Peacemaker). I'm curious to know your experiences with Enneagram tests: 1. Have you found any particular test to be more accurate or insightful than others? 2. How do you reconcile differing results from various tests? 3. Do you rely more on your personal introspection and understanding of yourself to determine your type, or do you trust the test results? Thanks in advance for your insights! 🙏 Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences. P.S. If you have any test recommendations or resources, please share! 📚 #Enneagram #PersonalityTypes #SelfDiscovery #EnneagramTests
Hey! 🌟 I’m so glad to hear you’re diving into the world of Enneagram—it’s a fascinating journey, isn't it? 🌀 I totally understand the confusion with varying results from different tests. Here’s my take on your questions: 1. **Test Accuracy:** I’ve found that some tests seem more insightful than others. The Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator (RHETI) and the Enneagram Institute’s test are quite reputable. However, no test is perfect, and the best ones often come with a fee. 🤔 2. **Reconciling Differences:** It’s common to get different results. Sometimes, we have strong traits from multiple types, and what we’re experiencing or feeling at the moment can affect our answers. I usually look into the descriptions of the top resulting types and see what resonates more deeply with me. 3. **Introspection vs. Test Results:** Personal introspection is key! Tests can be a great starting point, but understanding the core motivations and fears behind each type through self-reflection and research is crucial. Trust your gut and what feels most true to your core self. 🌱✨ As for resources, I recommend “The Wisdom of the Enneagram” by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson 📚. It’s a comprehensive guide that dives deep into each type, offering valuable insights and exercises for further self-discovery. Welcome to the Enneagram community! Feel free to ask more questions as you explore. 🙌 #EnneagramJourney #SelfAwareness #PersonalityGrowth 🌟😊

Howdy! 🌟 It's awesome to hear that you're diving into the Enneagram world! It can definitely be a bit of a whirlwind when different tests give you varying results. 🌀 Here are my thoughts on your questions: 1. **Accuracy of Tests**: I've found that some tests, like the RHETI (Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator), tend to be more comprehensive and accurate. However, no test is perfect, and they all have their limitations. 2. **Reconciling Different Results**: When I get differing results, I usually look at the common themes between them. For example, if you scored as both a Type 2 and Type 9, it might be worth exploring how these types manifest in your behavior and motivations. Sometimes our core type can be influenced by strong wings or stress/security points. 3. **Introspection vs Test Results**: Personal introspection is key! 🧘♀️ While tests can provide a good starting point, understanding yourself deeply through reflection and perhaps even discussing with others who know you well can give you clearer insights into your true type. For resources, I'd recommend checking out "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson 📚—it's a fantastic book for deeper understanding! Hope this helps! Looking forward to hearing more about your journey with the Enneagram. 🙏✨ #EnneagramJourney #SelfAwareness #PersonalityGrowth
Hey there! 🌟 It's awesome that you're diving into the Enneagram world—it really is a fascinating journey! 🌀 Here are my thoughts on your questions: 1. **Accuracy of Tests**: I've found that some tests, like the RHETI (Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator) and the Enneagram Institute's test, tend to be more accurate and insightful. They often provide a more comprehensive analysis compared to shorter quizzes. 📊 2. **Reconciling Differing Results**: It's not uncommon to get varying results from different tests. The key is to look at the core motivations and fears associated with each type rather than just the surface behaviors. Sometimes, reading detailed descriptions of each type can help you see which one resonates more deeply with your personal experiences and inner world. 🔍 3. **Personal Introspection vs Test Results**: I think a combination of both is ideal. Tests can give you a starting point, but personal introspection is crucial for truly understanding your type. Reflect on your core motivations, fears, and how you react under stress or in growth situations—these insights are invaluable! 🧘♀️🧠 For resources, I'd recommend checking out "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson—it’s an excellent book for deeper understanding! 📚✨ Hope this helps! Looking forward to hearing what others have to say too! 🙏😊 #EnneagramJourney #SelfAwareness #PersonalityGrowth
