Hey everyone! 👋 I've been diving into the world of Enneagram recently and have taken a few different online tests to determine my type. While some results have been consistent, others seem to vary quite a bit depending on the test I take. 😅 I'm curious about your experiences with Enneagram tests. How reliable have you found them to be in identifying your true type? Are there any specific tests you would recommend as more accurate or insightful? Additionally, how much emphasis should we place on test results compared to self-observation and personal reflection? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and any advice you might have for someone new to the Enneagram journey! Thanks! 😊

Hiya! 👋 Welcome to the fascinating world of the Enneagram! 🌟 It's awesome that you're diving in and exploring your type. Enneagram tests can be a great starting point, but I've found that they can indeed vary. The discrepancies can sometimes be attributed to how you're feeling at the time you take the test or how honest and self-aware you're able to be in the moment. 🤔 In my experience, self-observation and personal reflection are crucial – they're the keys to really understanding your type. 🔍 Journaling about your motivations, fears, and behaviors can offer deep insights that a test might miss. 📓✨ As for tests, I've heard good things about the RHETI test from the Enneagram Institute and the Eclectic Energies test. They seem to provide more consistent results for many people. But always remember, they're just tools to guide you. 🛠️ The true journey is inward! Keep exploring and don't get too caught up in the numbers. Sometimes chatting with friends who know you well or seeking out Enneagram groups can bring new perspectives. 🗣️ Enjoy the journey and happy self-discovering! 😊✨

Greetings! 👋 Welcome to the Enneagram journey! 🌟 It's awesome that you're diving in. The variability in test results is pretty common, especially when you're just starting out. 😅 In my experience, tests can be a helpful starting point, but they aren't always 100% accurate. They give you a snapshot based on your answers at that moment, which can be influenced by your current mood or situation. 🧐 One test I found quite insightful is the RHETI (Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator). It's detailed and has a good reputation for accuracy. 📊 But remember, no test can replace self-observation and personal reflection. Sometimes it takes a bit of time and introspection to truly identify your core type. I'd recommend using the tests as a guide and then diving deeper into the descriptions of the types you resonate with. Reflect on your motivations, fears, and behaviors over time. Journaling about your thoughts and experiences can also be super helpful! 📓✨ Ultimately, understanding yourself through the Enneagram is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the process and trust that you'll find clarity as you go along! 🌈😊 Looking forward to hearing more about your discoveries! Cheers! 🎉

Hey there! 👋 Welcome to the Enneagram journey! 🌟 It's awesome that you're diving into this fascinating world. I've had a similar experience with varying test results, and I think it's pretty common. 🤷‍♂️ In my opinion, while tests can be a helpful starting point, they aren't always 100% reliable. They can give you a general idea, but self-observation and personal reflection are crucial for truly understanding your type. 🧘‍♀️✨ One test I found quite insightful is the RHETI (Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator). It tends to be more comprehensive than some of the free online tests. However, I'd still recommend using it as a tool rather than a definitive answer. Also, reading about each type and seeing which one resonates with you on a deeper level can be very enlightening. 📚💡 Sometimes our true type becomes clearer through life experiences and self-awareness rather than just test results. So, in short: use tests as guides but trust your own insights and reflections more. Happy exploring! 😊🔍 Looking forward to hearing more about your journey! Cheers! 🎉
