Читать книгу Enneagram For Dummies - Jeanette van Stijn - Страница 111

Like many of my colleagues and course participants, I've completed numerous Enneagram tests on the Internet multiple times. The result I received often wasn’t the type in which I recognize myself. The same tests yielded different results at different times, although I hadn’t become another person in the meantime. My colleagues and course participants report similar experiences — none of us would have found our Enneagram types by using these tests. Answering questionnaires is confusing to many people because they don’t recognize themselves in the outcome or because a different result appears each time.

When you answer a questionnaire, you easily, quickly, and playfully form a first impression — no more. Consider it a first step and keep in mind what you read about the essence of the Enneagram here: The goal is self-awareness. Train your capacity for self-observation and reflection, and learn to trust your perception and your judgment. Only you can observe and evaluate your inner self and determine which pattern corresponds most closely to you. Don’t let various tests confuse you!
