Enneagram tests seem to be proliferating on the Internet as we speak. As I observe this phenomenon, I am growing more and more concerned about the work of upholding the integrity of the Enneagram as a valid tool for self study, psychological counseling, and personal, professional, and spiritual development.

We see Enneagram tests being used inappropriately on dating websites and for online contests in a way that sullies the academic validity of the Enneagram, gives the taker the wrong impression of the Enneagram, and indeed gives them a false measurement of their Enneagram type.

There are two current online tests with statistical merit, and each has a different format for type selection. Those tests, both of high quality and surely worth investigating can be accessed from the following sites:
