The Enneagram is designed to help you better understand yourself and foster more empathetic connections with others.

How does the Enneagram test work?

The test consists of a series of questions that gauge your behaviors, preferences, and thought patterns. Your answers are then analyzed to determine your Enneagram type, providing insights into your strengths, challenges, and potential growth areas.
