It is more than a profile of traits and behaviours, as it delves deeper into the motivations, defences and fears that lie in the often-unconscious area of our personality.

One-size-fits-all is not our approach to leadership—rather, we encourage and support leaders to find their strongest possible expression of their own unique leadership style.

  • Core Enneagram Types
    Do you want to get to know yourself better? Identifying your Enneagram Type will help you understand your unique thinking, feeling, and acting patterns. Working with your Type empowers you to take responsibility for your behaviours and growth through a greater understanding of why you act and react the way you do.
  • Motivation, Behaviour, Psychodynamics
    Much more than just a personality profile that tells us how we might behave, the Enneagram highlights the underlying motivations, defence mechanisms, and fears buried in the unconscious layers of the psyche. The Enneagram unlocks potential and change from a deeper level that connects to personal values by enabling us to understand the motivational patterns that drive us.
  • Blindspots, Strengths and Challenges
    Discover your natural strengths which arise from your internal worldview or perspective. This section helps you tap into and appreciate your Enneagram Type's strengths and positive aspects. When harnessed healthily and balanced, these strengths will support your well-being, goals and relationships. No development journey should ignore weaknesses.
  • Centers of Expression
    The Centers of Expression relate to how we show up in the world and how we are likely to be perceived by others. There are three Centers of Expression: Thinking, Feeling and Acting. Exploring the Centers helps you to understand how you process external stimuli, make decisions, and express yourself in relationships. This section identifies your dominant Center and those less prominently expressed, illuminating your primary life strategies.
  • Triadic Center Styles
    There is a particular way in which you engage with your feelings, actions and thoughts, which is flavoured by your Enneagram Profile. You may be most aware of this when you are triggered, confused or when you realise that your gut says one thing, your head another, and your heart something else. The combination of these three gives your personality a different way of expression. Observing and becoming aware of each Center's energy flow can benefit your development and growth.
  • 27 Subtypes
    When your dominant Instinct merges with your core Enneagram Type, the two together is known as your Subtype. Subtypes sheds light on why people with the same Enneagram Type, can behave in different ways. Grasping your Subtype can create an instrumental, detailed and nuanced description of your personality and offers meaningful shifts and targeted development paths.
  • Wing-Influence
    Wing Influence refers to the Enneagram Types adjacent to your core Type, known as your "Wings". While you typically engage both Wings, one is often more dominant for most people. This section details how each Wing can shape your personality and behaviour.
  • Self-Awareness and Integration
    This section reveals your level of integration, indicating the degree to which you're living on 'autopilot' or in a state of self-awareness. For many people, discovering their Enneagram Type is a turning point, as they see for the first time how their Ego has been limiting them and how disconnected they may be from their true Essence. The path of Integrative with the Enneagram is a journey back to Essence, escaping the limitations of personality and connecting to a more unlimited, liberated self.
  • Strain Levels
    Your strain profile reflects your subjective sense of how much stress you experienced at a point in time across five domains:
    • Interpersonal Strain - Evaluating stress within your relationships.
    • Environmental Strain - Measuring stress induced by your environment.
    • Psychological Strain - Your current level of “mental health” stress.
    • Physical Strain - Gauging your physical health's stress levels.
    • Vocational Strain - Determining stress levels related to your work.
    • Happiness - A variable that’s often hard to determine.
  • Lines of Tension and Release
    The Enneagram is much more than nine points or a set of categories or Types. It is a rich, complex psychodynamic framework that provides a powerful model for understanding how people operate, develop and integrate. The Enneagram Lines offer rich potential for exploration and development, as they offer balance and fresh resources to a person’s core Type.
  • Communication
    The ability to communicate effectively is one of the critical competencies for professional success. Look at your listening habits, verbal communication style, non-verbal cues (body language) and written communication tendencies. Communication style includes your Meta-Message, the underlying message you may be communicating to others—a message people can notice from your tone, content, and intention.
  • Giving and Receiving Feedback
    Gain insight into your style of giving and receiving feedback—a critical link in the chain of professional performance improvement and effectiveness. It guides you on harnessing your strengths while conveying constructive information, alerts you about potential pitfalls to avoid and anticipates your reactions when faced with challenging messages from others.
  • Feedback Guide for all Types
    Everyone seeks effective methods to deliver "constructive criticism" to individuals distinct from us. This section furnishes you with tailored advice on your communication style, offering prompt guidelines to refine, adjust, and strategize your approach to providing feedback to people of known types.
  • Conflict and Triggers
    We all respond to conflict differently and have different triggers that induce conflict. By understanding your response to conflict and potential triggers, you can develop your unique conflict resolution strategies. Once you become aware of your unhelpful and destructive patterns, rather than reacting blindly to triggers, you can begin working towards a more grounded, intentional response to these situations.
  • Decision Making
    The report comprehensively analyses the interplay between your Center of Intelligence, Enneagram Type, and level of Strain. This synthesis provides nuanced insights into how these key aspects shape your ability to make decisions. It investigates your decision-making tendencies informed by your Enneagram traits and dominant Center of Expression, to help you better understand and optimise your decision-making strategies.

    The Strategic Leadership section delivers insights into your leadership style, exploring facets like vision development, strategic thinking, assessing group alignment with goals, and managing organisational change. Uncover your strengths and areas for growth as a leader.

The Enneagram goes beyond just being a personality assessment. It gets to the heart of what makes people “tick”. It has shown me more about myself than any other tool.

Frequently asked questions

Our assessment is backed by extensive research and is constantly updated with the latest insights from psychology, mindfulness and neuroscience. You can trust that our full report and results are valid, accurate and reliable. Our psychometry experts and data scientists have spent +13 years perfecting our assessment, ensuring that it is not only the most accurate test (+95%) but also user-friendly and accessible to everyone. You don’t have to take our word for it — take the word of the American Journal of Psychiatry.

We do not allow the iEQ9 to be used as part of the recruitment process. The Enneagram does not measure a person's competence or capability. We believe any Enneagram type can be successful in any role. Once the successful candidate has been identified, the Enneagram is brilliant in supporting their development.

While the Enneagram test can provide insight into an individual's personality and work style, it should not be used in the hiring decisions. It is important to consider a range of factors, including skills, experience, and cultural fit.

Yes, understanding your Enneagram type can help you to identify your leadership style and areas for growth. It can also improve your ability to lead and communicate with team members who have different Enneagram types.

Since its release in 2011, over 450,000 people have taken the iEQ9 and it's been updated to version 22. Using sophisticated statistical analysis, artificial intelligence, machine learning as well as human experts in psychometry and cognitive scientists; to assure the most up-to-date accuracy and scientific validity.

The iEQ9 Enneagram, compared to other personality tests like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Strengths Finder, or the Big Five Factors Test, provides a more holistic and dynamic view of personality. Rather than merely classifying traits or strengths, it delves into the underlying motivations and fears shaping behaviours, offering practical paths for personal growth and development. Unlike these other models which largely focus on fixed traits or strengths, the Enneagram is rooted in spiritual and psychological teachings, making it predictive and adaptable in complex interpersonal situations. Thus, while other systems have their benefits, the iEQ9 Enneagram's comprehensive approach offers a richer understanding of personality and its evolution over time.

In a nutshell, other personality models often focus merely on surface traits and strengths, neglecting the underlying motivations and fears that shape behaviours. They lack frameworks for personal growth, ignore weaknesses and areas for development, and fail to highlight blind spots, biases, and habits. Additionally, they don't fully comprehend the dynamic interaction of strengths across different situations and relationships.

Like all self-report questionnaires, there is an element of subjectivity involved in respondent results. To ensure that results are as reliable as possible, the Integrative Enneagram Questionnaire has built in reliability measures relating to consistency, honesty and time. Client feedback is that the iEQ9 is a revolutionary assessment tool which is very reliable and highly accurate. Integrative regularly reviews questionnaire items and continues to improve accuracy.
