Which of the Seven Deadly Sins?

I saw this on the blog 'Good in Parts'- and my result isn't very surprising, I suppose. Enneagram type 9 is generally associated with the sin of sloth. It stands out rather, doesn't it?!

Greed:Very Low

Gluttony:Very Low

Wrath:Very Low

Sloth:High

Envy:Very Low

Lust:Very Low

Pride:Very Low

What Enneagram number?

Online tests for the Enneagram are notoriously unreliable, since this personality system is about motivations more than behaviour. Still, I thought this one wasn't at all bad for a short questionnaire, and it gave me the correct number:

You Are 9: The Peacemaker

You are emotionally stable and willing to find common ground with others.

Your friends and family often look to you to be the mediator when there is conflict.

You are easy going and accepting. You take things as they come.

Avoding conflict at all costs, you're content when things are calm.

Better Enneagram test

This is, in my opinion, by far the best online Enneagram test. It's a pity that the site is about 'New Age' things like chakras (whatever they might be!) and generally rather mystical, as it tends to put a lot of people off. Particularly Christians. But the Enneagram has been used in the church and by Christians as well as by those of other faiths (or none) for a long time now. It's simply another measure of personality, based primarily on the masks we adopt during childhood. These depend partly on inborn temperament, partly on our parents and others around us, partly on our culture, and probably on many more things besides. For me, understanding other people is vital before I can communicate; so it's important also to understand myself.

This test looks more at motivations than behaviours, which is why it tends to be more accurate than others. It also makes it clear that the given type is only an indication - that it may not be the actual one. Having said that, this is the site that always ranks me as a type Nine, which is the one I believe to be correct.

Enneagram Test Results

You are most likely a type 9.

Taking wings into account, you seem to be a 9w1.

No personality test is completely accurate. Although several measures were taken to make this test as accurate as possible, there's always a chance that you are not typed correctly by it. Therefore, when deciding which Enneagram type you are, you might also want to consider the types with the highest test scores on the lists below.

(Note that your lowest scores may be omitted.)

Type 9 - 12.7
Type 5 - 10.3
Type 2 - 6.3
Type 1 - 3.3
Type 8 - 2

Wing 9w1 - 14.4
Wing 9w8 - 13.7
Wing 5w6 - 11
Wing 5w4 - 11
Wing 1w9 - 9.7
Wing 8w9 - 8.4
Wing 2w1 - 8
Wing 2w3 - 6.7
Wing 1w2 - 6.5
Wing 8w7 - 4.9


Myers-Briggs and Enneagram combined

Well here's a strange one. The two best-known popular personality tests, Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram, all in one questionnaire. 102 questions in all, with scales of agreement rather than yes/no options, so easier than some. I don't think I've seen a combined one before.

Once again I seem to have got INFJ as my result in the Myers-Briggs scale. With silly percentages that should be ignored. However it gave me type 5 on the Enneagram. That's what online Ennea tests usually give me, but it's almost impossible to determine Ennea type from a test like this. Fives are withdrawn people who hoard either time, or knowledge, or possessions. I'm quiet and withdrawn, but although I thought I was a Five for a while, I eventually discovered (after much reading and discussion) that I"m a type Nine.

But anyway, an interesting test.
