Reviews of The Enneagram Personality Test

A really in depth look at my strengths, but more importantly, my weaknesses, offering opportunity for future improvement’s

Fifty years ago I encountered the Enneagram as a Sufi spiritual practice in pop culture of the time. As a not-very-self-aware young woman, I was surprised by my personality type but thought "OK, maybe that's me". I did not pursue the study of this practice but the idea stuck with me all these years. Recently my daughter took an online writing course for memoirists. The instructor recommended the Enneagram as a starting point. I was immediately intrigued and after shopping around a few websites I found Truity to be a very easy assessment, with an excellent test report and VERY helpful suggestions for paths forward. I wish I had done a little more follow thru all those years ago. Now if only Truity offered "Gift Certificates" I could get some of Christmas shopping done!

This is great. Lots of useful information

I feel that though many of the pieces of my test result "type" are accurate, there are many things that are off the radar and not really who I am. I do enjoy personality tests and did get some excellent perspectives and takeaways from this test. It was worth the money to get the full report, and I want my husband to take the test now!

Though some of these things are a bit hard to admit, I recognize me in this Enneagram Report. Many of the traits revealed (the tendency to feel like an outsider, striving for perfection to feel loved, must be unique to be noticed, etc.) yank me right back into childhood where I am (still) the eldest, getting great grades, walking the straight line & behaving, basically disappearing into the good because my brother was such a hellion. Amazing how the person we learn to be as a child helps us develop into the adult we become. Not necessarily good or bad, simply the now of us. I had fun taking the test & thought the price was fair, with the coupon code. Be careful if you use PayPal to checkout, coupon code can fall off. Other than that glitch (which has nothing to do with the Enneagram Report itself) I highly recommend this Truity product.

It was okay, as a report goes, but I was hoping for more of a next step - some actionable areas/tasks to focus on. The steps given were very general & 'fluffy', and made up less than one page of the 18. I would prefer it the opposite way around, one page telling me who I am, and 17 pages telling me what to do

This was right on the money, things that people have been telling me are all in this report. Its the best 19 bucks i spent in a while. be careful , because it shows you that you have some work to do and you have to be ready to do it.

I’ve been looking for something like this for so long! Not just how I am, but also why, which are the deep drivers for my motivation and how I can change to get the best version of myself—highly recommended! I can assure you it gives the clarity you need. It’s like finding the user guide for your life that no one has been able to provide you with before.

Insightful in some areas, the wings and arrows were useful

I liked how the enneagram describes your personality in a balanced way, how your traits can be a double-edged sword, it can be your greatest asset or weakness. But I don’t understand why your core feelings are all negative: anger, fear, and sadness. Why can’t a core feeling be positive? Like love, joy, or peace?
