the Enneagram
the value
of an Enneagram Test
The Enneagram Test is just the ticket to break open a whole new world of personal discovery for you!
Our world is deeply interactive. We physically and virtually rub shoulders with a dizzying variety of people of different sexes, ages, races, and religious backgrounds every day. Throw opposing personality types into the mix and we tread on a potential minefield for misunderstandings and conflict.
Have you ever wondered why some situations or people rub you up the wrong way? Why do you struggle to manage certain situations and challenges, while others seem to breeze through it all? Have you ever thought that you are a square peg in a round hole, or that nobody understands you – not even you? If this describes you, or someone you know, you are on the right page. Read on!

“The exact details in which the test described my personality, especially my blind spots and the accuracy of it, was astonishing.” Enneagram 3 Client
I find myself where people do not know what to do with me. Especially because I’m direct in my addressing of issues or situations. My thinking is how can we sort out a situation if we don’t address the elephants in the room…? Enneagram 8 Client
Ek glo in beginsel nie regtig in tipologieë of kategorisering van mense nie. Ek hou wel erg baie van selfverbetering en is alewig aan die lees om myself/goed/mense/werk/eintlik maar alles beter te begryp en meer te weet. Vandaar dat ek geintrusseerd was oor die uitkoms van die enneagram…Ek was wildwoes verbaas oor hoe akkuraat die enneagram my hele persoon, kern, binnewêreld en menswees gepyl het. Skrikwekkend akkuraat… Enneagram 5 Client.
