What is the Enneagram Test? 

The Enneagram of Personality is a nine-sided figure used to determine the spectrum of possible personality types. The personality quiz asks you a series of questions to help determine which category you fit best into, while also giving you which categories you scored second, third, etc. highest in. This quiz deeply examines your in-depth characteristics and what drives you while also explaining how you like to receive love, deal with conflict and communicate. Here are some ways each enneagram type likes to be communicated with and complimented.

The reformer is rational, ethical, idealistic and by the book. They have a strong sense of right and wrong, are self-controlled, perfectionistic and often strive to make the world a better place.

“You always have the best ideas!” 

“I know you will do amazing!”
