The Enneagram is a popular personality typing system that describes nine different personality types. It is based on the idea that each person has a unique way of perceiving and responding to the world, and that these ways of perceiving and responding can be organized into nine distinct types.
While the Enneagram has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, it is important to note that it is not a scientifically validated tool for assessing personality. There is limited empirical evidence to support the validity of the Enneagram as a personality assessment tool, and the descriptions of the types are based on subjective observations and interpretations.
It is possible that you may find the Enneagram to be a helpful tool for self-reflection and personal growth, but it is important to remember that it should not be used as a definitive assessment of your personality. It is just one tool among many that can be used to understand ourselves and others better.
That’s what I thought when I tested as a type 4, I thought that was the most accurate description of my personality I’d ever read; however, I’ve read elsewhere that psychologists and psychiatrists don’t use personality tests that group people in “types”, which is why they favor the Big Five personality test. Most of the others, so I’ve read, are merely junk science.
