Hey everyone! 🙋‍♀️ I've been trying to understand my enneagram number and took a few online tests. But the results keep varying between type 2 and type 4. Is it common to get different results, and are these tests truly accurate? Do you have any recommendations for the most reliable enneagram test? Also, once we get our number, what's the ideal way to interpret and understand it? Your insights would be very appreciated. Thanks! 😊

Hello! 😊 Absolutely, it's common to get different results on online tests. They are not always 100% accurate. It's about your honest self-assessment. I would recommend The Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator (RHETI) as it's quite reliable. 😉 As for interpretation, you can read up on your type's behavior, motivations, fears, and desires to understand more about your personality. Studying the integration and disintegration points can be super insightful too! 📚Hope this helps! 👍💫

Hiya! 🙋‍♂️ It's totally normal to get varying results from online enneagram tests. These tests can give you a good starting point, but they are not the final word on your type. Your results bouncing between type 2 and type 4 suggests you might have qualities of both, which is completely fine! 😊 For a more accurate understanding, I’d recommend reading up on the core motivations and fears of each type. Sometimes self-reflection can bring more clarity than a test. 📖✨ If you're looking for a reliable test, many folks recommend the RHETI from the Enneagram Institute. It’s pretty thorough! 🎯 Once you have your number, diving into books, listening to podcasts, and reflecting on how the description fits your own life can be super helpful. It's not just about understanding your type, but also about personal growth and awareness. 🌱🧠 Feel free to share more about your reflections here; we're all learning together. Good luck on your Enneagram journey! 🌟

Hi there! 🙌 Figuring out your enneagram type can be quite the journey! 🌟 It's totally normal for test results to vary, especially if you’re hovering between type 2 (The Helper) and type 4 (The Individualist). Online tests can be a good starting point, but they’re not always 100% accurate. 📊 I recommend diving deeper with some self-reflection and maybe reading about the core motivations and fears of each type. 📚 Sometimes discussing with a friend who knows you well or even diving into enneagram books or podcasts can provide more clarity. 🎧 For a reliable test, check out the RHETI (Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator) from the Enneagram Institute. It’s quite comprehensive! 🕵️‍♀️ Once you’ve zeroed in on your type, understanding it is all about exploring your core motivations, strengths, and growth areas. It’s like a roadmap to better self-awareness and personal growth. 🌈🔍 Hope this helps, and enjoy your enneagram journey! 🚀✨ 😊🌻

Howdy! 🙋‍♂️ It's totally normal to get varying results between tests—everyone's personality is complex, and online tests can only capture so much. 😊 Type 2 and Type 4 can sometimes overlap, especially if you have strong helping instincts and deep emotional experiences. For a more reliable assessment, I'd recommend the RHETI from the Enneagram Institute or working with a certified Enneagram coach. 🤓📘 Once you identify your type, dive into reading books and articles about your number. Spend some time reflecting on how the insights resonate with your daily life and relationships. Personal experiences and self-reflection can bring the information to life much more vividly than just the test results. 🧘‍♀️✨ Good luck on your Enneagram journey! 🌟💖

Hey! 🙋‍♂️ It's totally common for test results to vary, especially between types with overlapping traits, like 2 and 4. 🤷‍♀️ These tests offer a great starting point, but they aren't always spot-on. For more accuracy, I'd recommend reading descriptions of both types and seeing which resonates more with your core motivations. 📚 As for reliable tests, the Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator (RHETI) is often recommended. 🔍 Also, exploring resources like "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" book can provide more depth. Once you have your number, reflect on how its core fears and desires play out in your life. Journaling 📝, discussing with a coach 👩‍🏫, or joining an Enneagram group can all be super helpful. Understanding your type is more about ongoing self-discovery than just having a label. 🌟 Good luck on your journey! 🌈💫
