One personality test that is no less popular is the Enneagram. By answering approximately 100 questions, you can classify yourself into nine personality types. This test was popularized in the United States in 1970 by Oscar Ichazo, a philosopher from Bolivia.
Quoting CNBC, the Enneagram test is used to understand human personality and interpersonal dynamics with other people. These nine types of tests describe different human motivations, tendencies, and behavioral patterns. According to Forbes, this Enneagram personality type represents a certain collection of characteristics. So of these nine, which type are you? Come on, check it out!

As the name suggests, this type describes someone who lives with a focus on obeying rules and doing things the right way. There is a feeling of wanting to always be perfect and avoid mistakes.
This can backfire, because they tend to be hard on themselves and others. However, this type shows a person who is dedicated, reliable, and tries to help others.
2. The Helper
Always ready to help friends, family and others is a characteristic of this type of person. They feel the need to love and be loved, to the point that sometimes they forget their own interests.
The Helper loves attention and is afraid of being hated by others. Even so, this type will not hesitate to continue to provide support, warmth and care for the people around them.
3. The Achiever
Like a burning fire, this type has high enthusiasm and is motivated by success. They do many things to avoid failure in order to appear successful.
Unfortunately they focus too much on what other people think about them. Besides that, people with this type are easy to adapt and productive, so they are able to achieve what they dream of.
4. The Individualist

5. The Investigator

Sounds very common, right, Beauties? This type tends to be afraid and needs a sense of security in his life. Anxiety seems to always be in their lives to the point that sometimes they doubt themselves.
However, people with this type tend to be intelligent and value friendship. 'Loyal' is the identity of this type.
7. The Enthusiast

The most independent, this type tends to like to be in control of the people around them. He is confident in the responsibilities he carries and likes to lead.
However, this type tends to illustrate that the person does not want to be controlled by other people. Confidence fills The Challenger and they are confident in the decisions they choose and all the risks involved.
9. The Peacemaker
Need a mediator to balance the right and left sides. The Peacemaker is here to provide comfort and peace and distance oneself from existing conflicts.
In contrast to The Challenger, this type tends to go with the flow and let other people take control in the hope of providing happiness. You need to be careful with this type of person, because if they hold on to their anger for too long, they can explode.
The popular Enneagram is still doubted by some experts in the field of psychology regarding its validity as a scientific evaluation tool. However, at least the Enneagram test can help provide insight into human thought patterns and behavior. Which type are you, Beauties?
