"One more thing..."

A quick word of advice before you read your Enneagram test results:

Sorry to disappoint, but my short, free test does not give you a single Enneagram type that you can run and tell your friends. 🏃💨

Instead, it gives you your three strongest types based on your answers.

🧐 Your mission now is to read through the descriptions of these three types, then figure out which one is the strongest type for you.

It's totally normal to find more than one type in yourself. But for now, just focus on figuring out which Enneagram type is the "most" like you.

If you understand and accept your mission, scroll down for your results...

If you're having a hard time figuring it out, I recommend that you take the Full SEED test.

Type 3

Type 1

Type 8

Type 3

Strengths

  • Motivation: Threes help others feel inspired and find the motivation to keep moving toward their goals.
  • Focus: Threes support others to eliminate distractions and concentrate their attention only on what’s most important.
  • Confidence: Threes feel highly capable and are ready for any challenge, giving them a sense that success is inevitable.
  • Achievement: Threes keep their eyes on the prize and easily overcome obstacles, becoming highly accomplished.
  • Presentation: Not only do they get the job done, but Threes look great doing it. They present a winning image to the world.
  • Perseverance: Obstacles are only temporary speed bumps for Threes as they stay the course and keep moving towards their goal.
  • Efficiency: No time is wasted as Threes pursue the shortest, most efficient path to their goal.

Achilles Heel

  • The Achilles Heel for Type 3 is the fear of being seen as a failure, and having no value. When Type Threes succumb to their Achilles Heel, their strengths become the following weaknesses.

Weaknesses

  • Workaholism: Threes can exhaust themselves burning too bright, for too long. They can make their work a greater priority over important relationships, and even their own feelings.
  • Image Consciousness: Threes may be highly focused on their image and how they are perceived by others, getting lost in vanity. Looking successful becomes more important than *being* successful.
  • Inauthenticity: When image becomes more important than reality, Threes can succumb to the temptation to deceive others. Instead of being authentic, they present a larger-than-life persona to the world.
  • Emotional Suppression: When Threes become hyper-focused on their work, their feelings get pushed aside. They lose touch with themselves and their own hearts. They can then become quite cold and unfeeling.
  • Opportunism: When success is pursued at all costs, Threes can cast aside ethics, as well as the feelings of others. This alienates others and the people around a Three begin to lose trust in them.

  • Workaholism: Their amazing industriousness is frequently overdone, leading Ones to burn the candle at both ends leading to exhaustion.
