Summary
Between 01/15/2025 (evaluation form optimization) and 01/20/2026, 3,431 users completed an optional evaluation form displayed on their results page, indicating their Enneagram type.
Across all evaluations, 81.32% of users stated that the test correctly identified their primary Enneagram type (a 5/5 rating).
The Evaluation Form
After taking the Enneagram test, users were able to fill out this optional form:
Is this the Enneagram type that best fits you?
Answer choices:
- 5/5 - Yes, this is the Enneagram type that fits me best.
- 4/5 - No, my Enneagram type is a different one, but this type also fits me well.
- 3/5 - No, my Enneagram type is a different one; this type only fits me a little.
- 2/5 - No, my Enneagram type is a different one; I don’t really identify with this Enneagram type.
- 1/5 - No, my Enneagram type is a different one; I don’t identify with this Enneagram type at all.
- - - I don’t know what my Enneagram type is. (Neutral response excluded from calculations to avoid mixing uncertain opinions with positive/negative ones.)
In this report, strict validation = a “5/5” response (full agreement with the proposed dominant type).
If a negative response is given (1/5 to 4/5), the user is invited to indicate which Enneagram type they believe fits them better.
The form is displayed only when the test identifies a single dominant type (≈94% of results).
In other cases (≈6%), results are presented with multiple Enneagram types tied for first place.
Counting Method
We publish the following data:
-
Evaluators: all received evaluations (excluding neutral “-” responses and responses without a specified Enneagram type), along with the share of strict validations (5/5).

Limitations and Interpretation
-
Self-reporting: Agreement is self-declared by the user, with no external verification of the “true” type. However, according to Enneagram theory, the user is best positioned to identify their Enneagram type after doing their own personal research. That said, it is not guaranteed here that every user has done the necessary research. This report therefore relies on user self-reporting.
-
Lack of information: Responses rated 1/5 to 4/5 in which the user did not specify which Enneagram type they believe fits them better than the proposed one were excluded from calculations in order to avoid imprecise feedback. However, these may include true negatives from users who are not knowledgeable enough to specify their Enneagram type, or false negatives from users who did not fully understand the proposed Enneagram type. If these imprecise responses were included as negative feedback (N=200), the validation rate would drop to 76.84%, but would remain high overall.
Conclusion
Over the period covered, 81.32% of evaluators who specified their Enneagram type (N=3,431) reported that the test correctly identified their primary Enneagram type.
