Beschreibung

This carefully designed type test is called motivational, so it is fundamentally based on human motivation. For a more reliable indication of the Enneatype it is absolutely necessary to determine the true essential basic motivation of a person. In addition, one can use the purely psychological action and behavioral patterns of a person only conditionally, but it is more important to determine what is underlying the action; that is, the so-called intrinsic motivation. For this reason, in Enneagram circles the saying goes: The behavior is nothing - the motivation is EVERYTHING! Most of the Enneagram type tests, however, are primarily based on focusing on the behavior of a person to be typed, so that false typing will always occur. In contrast, in this Motivational Enneagram Type Test, the focus of the 100 test questions is on the underlying motivational basic structures of personality, i.e. on the "why" of the specific behavioral and action patterns of humans. This makes it a reliable type test for determining one`s own Enneatype!

1. Introduction

With the Motivational Enneagram Type Test you are able to determine your Enneagram type safely and reliably. In the practice of typing to take such a test, one of the main obstacles encountered is often unnoticed by many test users, and this is due to: The perceiving subjective consciousness of each person has a a more or less distorted view of the world! As human beings, without exception, we are subject to a certain subjectivity, and every human being, due to his so-called blind spotand because of the individual`s psychological makeup looks unconsciously through the lens of his/her own Enneagram Type, which may cause his or her own perception to distort, discolor, or change. However, this variable blurriness for each human being and test user can be minimized as much as possible by a variety of very different questions from all areas of life, as you will find here in this type test with a total of 100 test questions.

In this way, this Motivational Enneagram Type Test provides you, so to speak, with one of the most important keys to self-knowledge about your Enneagram type and at the same time your true motivation as a human being. The second key to understanding your own Enneatype is MINDFULLNESS. Mindfulness understood in this test is the key to most reliable test results. Therefore, be very honest in answering the 100 test questions of this Enneagram test, try to gather as consciously as possible in the so-called here-and-now to answer the questions conscientiously and accurately, to the best of your knowledge and belief. If possible be truly yourself. Take your time, there is absolutely no advantage in rushing this stage. Remember: The path is the destination, i.e. every single step on the way to the end result is much more important than the goal itself. So make sure you take your test in a room which is free from interference before you start taking the test. The goal is not to complete the test in record time. Only then you will be able to arrive at a reliable and objective test result.

Another helpful strategy to take a conscious deep breath before each question and open yourself inwardly as attentively and undisturbed as possible for the upcoming question. Take a deep breath - exhale for a long time and relax as much as possible when exhaling, because the next inhalation will certainly come anyway without your own effort. It's best to focus your attention on the breathing process itself. From this state, you begin to get an understanding of each of the individual questions, and that's enough to get a good, useful, and above all, reliable test result. Some questions will be easier, some harder to answer - in the latter case ask familiar people for help.

This carefully designed type test is called "motivational", so it is fundamentally based on human motivation. For a more reliable indication of the Enneatype it is absolutely necessary to determine the true essential basic motivation of a person. In addition, one can use the purely psychological action and behavioral patterns of a person only conditionally, but it is more important to determine what is underlying the action; that is, the so-called intrinsic motivation. For this reason, in Enneagram circles the saying goes: The behavior is nothing - the motivation is EVERYTHING! Most of the Enneagram type tests, however, are primarily based on focusing on the behavior of a person to be typed, so that false typing will always occur. In contrast, in this Motivational Enneagram Type Test, the focus of the 100 test questions is on the underlying motivational basic structures of personality, i.e. on the "why" of the specific behavioral and action patterns of humans. This makes it a reliable type test for determining one`s own Enneatype!

So, if an Enneagram test can claim to be reliable then it certainly is a motivational type test because it takes into account the deeper motivations of a person. Nevertheless, one should not rely blindly on the test result, because such a test can never be „perfect". Therefore, the test result should always be seen under reserve. On the other hand, the result of this Enneagram type test can quite reliably provide the reader with a way to somehow separate the wheat from the chaff to subsequently confirm the result by further self-recognition processes. The reliability of the test result, as described in detail above, is directly and closely related to one's own ability to objectively self-reflect and exercise “self-honesty“. Regrettably, every person, even the most self-aware, has more or less the well-known "blind spot". In any case, we should always be aware of this when performing this test, as this awareness will lead to more accurate, more reliable test results.

So if you want the end result of your test to be reliable (see chapter 5 on page →), then please have the courage to be as honest as possible to yourself!
