Free Online Ennneagram Tests: Types, Wings, Instincts, Centers
Personality type tests are nowhere near 100% accurate but they can be used as a starting point for suggesting your type and its variations. It's up to you to further explore the results to see how well they fit.
Below are some free online tests. Click on any test title to take an Enneagram test or personality test. They require no email or registration, and you can take them as many times as you like.
We've also recently created a companion site called EnneagramTestGuide.com that can help you find your Enneagram type and its variations using many more tests available elsewhere on the Internet.
Enneagram Tests to Help Determine Type
The Enneagram personality types consist of nine basic types. One of the types will be more dominant than the others. This dominant type is said to be "your Enneagram type".
Although there are nine basic Enneagram types, there are also many variations within each type as defined by such concepts as wings, centers, and instincts.
You can explore these variations using the type preference test below or one of the many other tests available on this website.
-
Enneagram Type Preference Test
This test produces a scored list of all nine types.
Questions are forced-choice, similar to the method used by the Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indictor (RHETI).
Use to determine type, wings, gut/heart/head types, and tri-center. -
Enneagram Type Comparison Test
This test compares any two types. The preferred type will have the higher score.
Use when you've narrowed your type down to two or three possibilities you'd like to compare.
Enneagram Tests to Help Determine Wing
The wing types of an Enneagram type are the types on either side of a type as seen on the Enneagram symbol.
Although both the wing types have an influence on the type between them, one wing type is often preferred over the other.
This preferred wing type has a stronger influence than the non-preferred wing type and creates a variation of the type (e.g., 9w8 vs. 9w1).

Enneagram Tests to Help Determine Instinct
There are two approaches to using the Enneagram personality instincts.
The instinctual subtypes describe three variations of each of the Enneagram types: a self-preservation (sp), sexual (sx), and social (so) subtype.
Instinctual variant stacking can be used with or without reference to Enneagram type by determining an individual's preferential order for the the three instincts (i.e., sp/sx, sx/sp, sp/so, so/sp, sx/so, or so/sx).
-

This test compares the three instinctual subtypes for a given type.

Enneagram Tests to Help Determine Centers

These tests help you find your dominant type in each center and the order of preference for those centers.
