Hey YA Readers!
Last week we looked at YA characters by the sixteen Myers Briggs types. This week, we’re going to look at Enneagram types. I’m pulling the personality types from this rad database.
I needed to retake the Enneagram test to find mine, so if you’re in the same boat, this is a good one. You’ll only be able to see a pie chart of your type with a percentage (i.e., you’ll see you’re 80% of Enneagram 8, 75% Enneagram 5, and so forth), but you can then look up the in-depth explanations for each, unless you want to spend $20 for a full report.
Although the Enneagram has some granularity–you can have a “wing” to your personality type–I’m sticking with the most basic of types for this character charting. In other words, you’ll see types 1 through 9, but won’t see, for example, 4w5. You can get that nuanced in the database if you want to, though!
