It’s been said that other personality tests like Myers-Briggs measure how the world sees you, whereas the Enneagram identifies how you see the world. More than just what you do, this one hones in on the why. The motivation. The fears. The classic “how you want to be perceived in a room full of strangers” question.

As you read through the different types below, you will likely identify with one more than the others. That is your basic personality type. You were born with it; it will not change. No type is better than another, although some types might be more desirable for certain roles or lines of work.

Indeed, your Enneagram almost certainly informs your basic work style, how you go about accomplishing your roles in compliance, and how you get along with others in your company.
