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 Instinct

Enneagram instincts

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).

  • Instinctual Subtype Test
    This test compares the three instinctual subtypes for a given type.
    Use when you know your type and want to find your instinctual subtype for that type.

  • Instinctual Variant Stacking Test
    This test ranks the three instincts to determine your preferential order of the instincts.
    Use when you want to know your instinctual variant stacking independent of type.
