The Enneagram describes nine personality types, each organized around a core motivation. Most people see a little of themselves in several types; your main type is the one whose motivation feels most like home.

This short test was written for cv.cm. Read the descriptions of your top two or three types and decide which fits best: self-recognition is how the Enneagram is meant to be used.
