Hey everyone! 🌼 I have recently come across the intriguing concept of Enneagram tests and I am extremely fascinated by the insights they can provide.🧠 My friends and I all took it and interestingly, we came up as different types. However, I'm struggling with the accuracy of these tests. I've read that self-discovery can help you move towards self-improvement🚀, and I've taken the test several times with slightly different results each time. Has anyone else undergone this experience? Also, are there any tips to better understand the results or particular steps one should take when answering such personality tests? 🤔 Any recommendations on other credible tests to check my Enneagram type would also be highly appreciated. Thanks so much for your help in advance!💫 #Enneagram #Enneagramtests #personalitytypes.

Hi there! 🙋‍♀️ I totally understand your curiosity and confusion around the Enneagram test. These tests can sometimes give different results based on your mood or mindset when taking them. Remember, they're tools for self-discovery and not absolute truths. 🧭 It's completely normal to reflect over different results. Here's a tip when taking such tests: try answering the questions based on your regular, consistent behaviors rather than how you may act under specific circumstances.🏞️Also, look into each Enneagram type description after taking the test - sometimes, reading in-depth can provide more clarity than the test itself! 📚 If you're looking for other reliable tests, the one provided by the Enneagram Institute (Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator) is often recommended.✅ Like any journey to self-discovery and self-improvement, it's not a race. Take your time and try not to get stuck on the labels. The key is to understand yourself better! 💡 Hope this helps! Let's keep the discussions going. #EnneagramJourney 🌟🔮

Hello 🌺! It's great that you're exploring the Enneagram tests. They can indeed provide profound insights into our personality types.💡 It's common to come up with slightly different results each time as our behaviors can change based on situations or moods 😇🙃. While taking the test, answer the questions as honestly as possible. Reflect on your long standing behaviors, feelings, and thought process.🌱 It might help to think about how you typically are, rather than how you've been recently or how you'd like to be. Regarding the accuracy, no test is 100% perfect. 💼 But the beauty of Enneagram is in understanding the central tendencies rather than exact boxes. It's more about identifying patterns rather than putting strict labels. 🕊️. You can also consider talking with Enneagram professionals or reading some well-researched books 📚. One good test is the Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator (RHETI), which is quite detailed and helps unravel deeper layers of personality. 🎈 Enjoy your journey! Never forget that the goal is growth and self-improvement, not just labeling oneself. 🌈 Keep exploring! 🌟 #Enneagramjourney #selfdiscovery.

Hello! 🌼 It's awesome that you're diving into the world of Enneagram! 🧠 It's not uncommon to get slightly different results each time you take the test. This can happen due to mood, mindset, or even the way questions are interpreted at the moment. For accuracy, self-reflection is key. 🚀 When answering the questions, try to think about how you've consistently behaved over a long period rather than just recent situations. It can also help to read detailed descriptions of the types and see which one resonates with you the most. Sometimes our results might not align perfectly, but our core motivations and fears (which the Enneagram types are based on) are more telling. 🤔 A great way to deepen your understanding is to read some Enneagram books or listen to podcasts that go in-depth into each type. "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso & Russ Hudson is a highly recommended book. You might also want to check out the RHETI test on the Enneagram Institute’s website—it's pretty well-regarded in the community. Hope you find this helpful and continue your journey of self-discovery! 💫 If you have more questions or insights, feel free to share. #Enneagram #SelfDiscovery #GrowthJourney 🌟

Greetings! 🌟 It's fantastic that you're diving into the world of Enneagrams! The journey of self-discovery through these tests can indeed be an intriguing ride. 🎢 Experiencing slightly different results each time is quite common and can be influenced by your mood, circumstances, or even how deeply you introspect at the moment. Here are a few tips to help you better understand and interpret your results: 1. **Consistency is Key**: Try to answer the questions as consistently and honestly as possible. Think about long-term patterns in your behavior rather than your immediate feelings. 🕵️‍♀️ 2. **Reflect on Core Motivations**: Dig deeper into the core motivations behind each type, not just the surface-level traits. Sometimes understanding why you do things can give you clearer insights. 🧘‍♂️ 3. **Seek Multiple Sources**: Besides the traditional tests, you might want to explore Enneagram books or even detailed online profiles to gain further clarity. 📚 4. **Discuss with Others**: Sharing your results with friends and getting their perspective can also offer valuable insights. Sometimes others see traits in us that we might overlook. 🗣️ As for other credible tests, you might want to check out the RHETI test from the Enneagram Institute or the Truity Enneagram test. Both are highly recommended for their detailed reports and accuracy. 📝 Wishing you luck on your journey towards self-improvement and greater self-understanding! 🌱✨❤️ #SelfDiscovery #InnerJourney

Hey! 🌸 It's so exciting that you've discovered the Enneagram! I understand what you mean about getting different results. 🤷‍♂️ It's quite common since our personalities can be complex and multifaceted. A few tips that might help: 1. **Reflect on Core Motivations**: Instead of focusing solely on behaviors, try to dig deeper into what motivates you. 😌 Your core fears and desires are key in pinpointing your type. 2. **Consistency is Key**: Stick with one reputable test and be consistent with your mindset when taking it. 📏 Different moods or recent experiences can influence your answers. 3. **Self-Reflection**: Journaling or meditation can help you understand yourself better. 📝🧘‍♀️ Write about your thoughts and reactions to different events. 4. **Read Up**: Books like “The Road Back to You” by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile are great for deeper insights. 📚 5. **Talk to Others**: Sometimes friends or family can provide perspective on your behavior and motivations you might not see. 👥 For credible tests, in addition to the free ones online, you might want to try the RHETI test from the Enneagram Institute. 🏢 Hope this helps and happy self-discovery! 🌟 #EnneagramJourney #KnowYourself #GrowthMindset
