Enneagram Test

Test time, what type are you? Take Enneagram Test

My top two were types 9 and 2. Just a short test, but surprising what they can figure out from a few short questions.

Type Nine - The Peacemaker
The easy-going, self-effacing type. Nines are accepting, trusting, and stable. They are usually creative, optimistic, and supportive, but can also be too willing to go along with others to keep the peace. They want everything to go smoothly and be without conflict, but they can also tend to be complacent, simplifying problems and minimizing anything upsetting. They typically have problems with inertia and stubbornness. At their Best: indomitable and all-embracing, they are able to bring people together and heal conflicts.

Type Two - The Helper
The caring, interpersonal type. Twos are empathetic, sincere, and warm-hearted. They are friendly, generous, and self-sacrificing, but can also be sentimental, flattering, and people-pleasing. They are well-meaning and driven to be close to others, but can slip into doing things for others in order to be needed. They typically have problems with possessiveness and with acknowledging their own needs. At their Best: unselfish and altruistic, they have unconditional love for others.

Hello Melissa,
This post links to the free test at the Enneagram Institute.
Unfortunately, they no longer offer a free test. :(

I actually worked for the Enneagram Institute for 3 years! After I left,
I decided to create my own free test to help people discover their type:

Since the free test you link to is gone, maybe you can link to my test instead
so your readers can learn their types. Does that sound like a good idea?

Warmly,
