Discover Your Enneagram Type
The Enneagram is a guide to personality types based on the teachings of ancient Sufi masters. It can aid us in self-discovery, spiritual growth, and self-actualization. I like the Enneagram because it helps identify our personal "glass ceilings," or those self-limiting "boxes" we place ourselves in. Gaining a sense of how we unknowingly and automatically constrain ourselves allows us to shatter those glass ceilings and lead more productive and fulfilling lives.
There are several free sites on which you can discover your Enneagram type. Below is my favorite. When taking the test, base your answers on who you feel you really are rather than who you would like to be. For some, it may be helpful to take the test thinking back to when you were twenty. It is also helpful to consider how you act when stressed.
If you don't think the test pegs you, it may be helpful to read about each type and see which resonates with you. http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/Tests_Battery.asp
