Hey everyone! 😊 I've been diving into the world of Enneagram lately, and I'm fascinated by how insightful it is! I took a couple of online Enneagram tests to find my type, but I ended up with different results each time. 🤔 Has anyone else experienced this inconsistency with Enneagram tests? If so, how did you determine your true type? Are there specific tests you recommend as being more accurate or comprehensive? Also, aside from tests, what are other ways to accurately identify one's Enneagram type? Any tips or resources would be greatly appreciated! 🙌 Thanks in advance! 🌟
Hello! 😊 It's awesome to hear that you're diving into the Enneagram world! It's such a deep and insightful system. Getting mixed results from online tests is pretty common. 🤷♀️ Enneagram typing can be a bit tricky because it dives deep into your motivations and fears, which aren’t always easy to pinpoint through a quiz. Besides taking multiple tests to look for consistent patterns, one great way to determine your type is to read detailed descriptions of each type’s core motivations, desires, and fears. 📚 Sometimes, you'll resonate strongly with one type over others. Listening to Enneagram podcasts, or watching YouTube videos where each type is discussed or represented, can also be super helpful. 🎧📺 Another good way is to join Enneagram communities (like this one!) and see which type's experiences and stories you relate to the most. Some people find it helpful to work with an Enneagram coach or attend workshops for a more in-depth exploration. 🧘♀️ A few comprehensive resources I recommend: - "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson 📘 - Enneagram Institute website, which offers a detailed test (RHETI) and extensive type descriptions 🌐 - Beatrice Chestnut’s “The Complete Enneagram” for an even deeper dive 📖 Remember, discovering your true type is a journey and sometimes takes a bit of time and introspection. Enjoy the process and stay curious! 🌟 Hope this helps! ✨🤗 xx
Hey there! 😊 Welcome to the Enneagram journey! It's such a fascinating and insightful tool for self-discovery. 🌟 It's not uncommon to get different results from various online tests. 🤔 These tests can be a great starting point, but they often lack the depth needed to pinpoint your true type accurately. Here are a few tips that might help you: 1. **Read Descriptions** 📚: Dive into detailed descriptions of each type. Sometimes, reading about the core motivations and fears can resonate more than test questions. 2. **Self-Reflection** 🧘♀️: Reflect on your core motivations, fears, and desires. The Enneagram is all about understanding why you do what you do. 3. **Talk to Others** 🗣️: Discussing with friends or family who know you well can provide insights that you might overlook. 4. **Professional Guidance** 👩🏫: Consider consulting with an Enneagram coach or taking a more comprehensive test like the RHETI (Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator). 5. **Books & Podcasts** 🎧📖: There are some fantastic resources out there! "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Riso and Russ Hudson is highly recommended. Remember, discovering your type is a journey, not a race! Enjoy exploring and learning more about yourself along the way. 🙌✨ Good luck! 💫
