What is the Enneagram personality test based on?

How does the Enneagram differ from other personality systems like Myers-Briggs?

Unlike Myers-Briggs (MBTI) which focuses on how people perceive and judge information, the Enneagram focuses on core motivations, fears, and defense mechanisms. The Enneagram also offers a dynamic model of growth and stress that shows how personality shifts under different conditions, making it particularly valuable for personal development.

Are you going to sell my data?

We take your privacy seriously. EnneagramCheck does not sell your personal data to third parties. We use your responses only to generate your results and, with explicit permission, for anonymized research to improve our assessment tools. You can read our full privacy policy for more details.

What Are the Enneagram Triads?

Understanding the three centers of intelligence in the Enneagram system

The centers of intelligence, or triads, are a foundational part of the Enneagram. The nine types of the Enneagram are divided into one of three centers of intelligence: Heart Types, Head Types and Body Types.

❤️

Heart Types (2, 3, 4)

Depend on their emotional intelligence to understand their own reactions and connect with others.

Type 2: The Helper•Type 3: The Achiever•Type 4: The Individualist

🧠

Head Types (5, 6, 7)

Depend on their intellectual intelligence to make sense of things and navigate the world around them.

Type 5: The Investigator•Type 6: The Loyalist•Type 7: The Enthusiast

💫

Body Types (8, 9, 1)

Depend on their instinctual intelligence to follow their "gut" and respond to threats and opportunities.

Type 8: The Challenger•Type 9: The Peacemaker•Type 1: The Reformer

These centers, also called Enneagram triads, help us to understand our type's gifts and challenges, as well as why other types see and interact with the world in drastically different ways. They also help us understand why we get stuck in certain patterns of thinking and behaving and why we may struggle to understand or communicate with others.
