Enneagram Subtype Test - determine your instinctual subtype

The Three Instincts

This test compares the three instinctual subtypes of a given Enneagram personality type:
the self-preservation (sp) subtype, the sexual (sx) subtype, and the social (so) subtype.

Instinctual subtypes are not to be confused with instinctual variant stacking which applies the instincts independent of type. If you'd like to find your variant stacking instead then click here.

Before comparing subtypes you'll need to know your Enneagram type. You can click here take the type preference test to determine your Enneagram type.
