The Three Enneagram Triads

The nine Enneagram types are grouped into three triads based on how they process emotions and interact with the world. Understanding your triad reveals your dominant center of intelligence.

Heart Triad

Types 2, 3, and 4

The Heart Triad processes life through emotions and feelings. These types are concerned with identity, image, and how they're perceived by others. Their core emotion is shame, which they manage in different ways.

Head Triad

Types 5, 6, and 7

The Head Triad processes life through thinking and analysis. These types seek security and guidance through planning and understanding. Their core emotion is fear, which they manage in different ways.

Body Triad

Types 8, 9, and 1

The Body Triad processes life through instinct and gut reactions. These types are concerned with autonomy, control, and maintaining boundaries. Their core emotion is anger, which they manage in different ways.

Understanding Enneagram Wings

Your Enneagram wing is one of the two types adjacent to your main type on the Enneagram circle. Wings add flavor and complexity to your personality, giving you access to additional traits and behaviors.

How Wings Work

For example, if you're a Type 4, your wings are Type 3 and Type 5. A "4w3" (Four with a Three wing) tends to be more ambitious and image-conscious, while a "4w5" (Four with a Five wing) tends to be more intellectual and withdrawn. Most people lean toward one wing more than the other, though you have access to both.

Understanding your wing helps explain why two people of the same type can seem quite different. It also gives you a roadmap for growth by highlighting traits you can develop.

The Enneagram and Your Relationships

One of the most powerful uses of the Enneagram is understanding how different types interact in relationships. Here's how knowing your type can transform your connections.

Understand Different Communication Styles

Each type communicates differently. A Type 8 might seem aggressive when they're just being direct. A Type 5 might seem distant when they're processing. Knowing this prevents misunderstandings.

Learn Each Other's Love Languages

Types show and receive love differently. Type 2s express love through helping. Type 5s express love by sharing knowledge. Recognizing your partner's style helps you feel more connected.

Navigate Conflict More Effectively

When you understand why your partner reacts the way they do during conflict, you can respond with empathy instead of defensiveness. This transforms arguments into opportunities for connection.

Support Each Other's Growth

Each type has a clear growth path. When you know your partner's type, you can encourage their development in ways that actually resonate with them, rather than projecting what would work for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Enneagram Test

What is the Enneagram test?
The Enneagram test is a personality assessment that identifies which of nine personality types best describes you. Each type has distinct motivations, fears, desires, and behavioral patterns. Unlike other personality tests that focus on what you do, the Enneagram focuses on WHY you do things—your core motivations and worldview. This makes it especially useful for personal growth and improving relationships.
How accurate is this Enneagram test?
This Enneagram test was developed with input from licensed mental health professionals and draws on established Enneagram theory. While no personality test is 100% accurate, our assessment helps identify your dominant type with high reliability. Your results depend largely on how honestly you answer the questions. For the most accurate results, answer based on how you actually are, not how you wish you were. If you're uncertain about your results, consider working with a therapist who specializes in Enneagram-informed approaches.
How long does the Enneagram test take?
Our Enneagram test takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. There are 90 questions designed to accurately assess your personality type, wings, and growth opportunities. We recommend taking the test in one sitting when you have uninterrupted time to focus and answer honestly.
Is this Enneagram test free?
Yes! This Enneagram personality test is completely free. You'll receive your full results instantly after completing the quiz, including your primary type, wing, and personalized insights. No email required, no hidden fees, no paywalls. We believe everyone should have access to these valuable self-discovery tools.
What are the 9 Enneagram types?
The 9 Enneagram types are: Type 1 (The Reformer) – principled and perfectionistic; Type 2 (The Helper) – caring and people-pleasing; Type 3 (The Achiever) – success-oriented and image-conscious; Type 4 (The Individualist) – creative and emotionally sensitive; Type 5 (The Investigator) – analytical and private; Type 6 (The Loyalist) – security-oriented and loyal; Type 7 (The Enthusiast) – spontaneous and adventure-seeking; Type 8 (The Challenger) – powerful and protective; Type 9 (The Peacemaker) – easygoing and conflict-avoidant. Each type has unique motivations, fears, and growth paths.
Can the Enneagram help my relationship?
Absolutely. The Enneagram is widely used in couples therapy to help partners understand each other's core motivations and communication styles. When you know your partner's type, you can understand why they react the way they do, speak their "emotional language," and support their growth in ways that actually resonate with them. Many couples find that learning each other's Enneagram types transforms how they handle conflict and show love.
What's the difference between Enneagram and MBTI?
While both are personality systems, they measure different things. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) focuses on how you think and process information—your cognitive functions. The Enneagram focuses on your core motivations, fears, and desires—the WHY behind your behavior. Many people find the Enneagram more useful for emotional growth and relationships because it addresses the deeper patterns that drive behavior, not just behavioral preferences.
Can your Enneagram type change?
Your core Enneagram type doesn't change, but how you express it can evolve dramatically. Each type has healthy, average, and unhealthy levels of development. Through personal growth and self-awareness, you can move toward the healthier expressions of your type. You can also develop traits from other types, especially your wings and the types you connect to through arrows. The goal isn't to change your type but to become the healthiest version of it.
