The Lite SEED Enneagram Test

Here are some quick (and important) instructions:

Put aside 5-10 minutes to take the test.

For each question, select which statement that has been true MOST OF YOUR LIFE (before you experienced any growth).

Try not to over-analyze the questions or think of "exceptions to the rule."

Be spontaneous — choose the statement that comes closest to the way you've been most of the time, most of your life.

You may skip questions that really do not apply to you — but do not skip questions simply because they are hard to answer.
