FAQ
What is the rarest Enneagram type?
Type 5 appears to be the rarest Enneagram type, accounting for 4.6% of all results. People with Type 5 are most commonly INTPs, INTJs, and ISTPs. It is closely followed by Type 8, which accounts for 6.3% of all results.
What is the most common Enneagram type?
Type 9 appears to be the most common Enneagram type, accounting for 16.5% of all results. Even so, it represents fewer than one in five people, which suggests that Enneagram types are relatively evenly distributed.
How important is an Enneagram wing?
Each Enneagram type is influenced by two wings. A person’s dominant wing is the one that most shapes their personality. However, this influence is relatively small compared with that of the core type. Most of what we learn from the Enneagram comes from the core type, especially its compulsive patterns, which we can learn to manage more effectively.
How does the gender distribution vary by type?
Overall, the gender distribution across Enneagram types is fairly balanced. The biggest differences are that Type 1 has a noticeably higher share of men, with 14% of men compared with 9% of women, while Type 4 has a noticeably higher share of women, with 15% of women compared with 9% of men.
