Uh... are the links broken or something? It says I don't have permission to view them, but my account is activated and everything, so I don't know what the problem is...?

They got removed. I don't even know why the mods didn't edit them out.

What are the best books available on enneagram?

My personal favorite is the Wisdom of the Enneagram by Riso and Hudson. It gives an in-depth description of each of the nine types and includes information on wings and subtypes. It is particularly strong in discussing the levels of development in each of the types and movement between those levels.

Are there any studies on the breakdown of percentages for each Enneagram type?

 

[Neutralpov]

Several

Different websites have different charts on this topic:

This one lets you select what type and compare: JavaScript Tool for Exploring Typological Space

Here is a simple diagram from Personality Cafe on this exact subject: http://cloud.personalitycafe.com/image1/myersbriggsenneagram.jpg

This test I consider the most surefire way to figure out your type. All you have to do is answer the first question, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click submit. Voila, there is your answer. It's as simple as that.

Ugh! That gave me 5.

It gave me the wrong type for sure. I got 6 and usually that is second to last. I think I misunderstood some of the meanings. I retook it and got 1 again which I have consistently tested as on the long drawn out enneagram test. So second time is a charm.

Well, shoot. It really cleared things up for me. I don't understand why it doesn't work for others. I mean, you are your enneagram type based on your dominant motivation. And I fixate on nothing more than understanding myself and expressing my understanding of myself. Hence, four.

Yeah, but it's easy to misconstrue what something means, and it's hard to look at oneself objectively.

I haven't seen this posted.. looks to be the entire book Everything Enneagram. It has a description of the Enneagram, pretty in-depth discussions of each type, and even sections on types-plus-wings.

Here's a really good resource I found: http://www.enneagramspectrum.com/184/karen-horneys-three-trends-moving-towards-against-away-from-and-the-enneagram-styles/

You can click on the other links on that page for more information as well.

I came across this website, which has amazingly insightful descriptions of each of the wing types. They are scarily accurate in describing both healthy and unhealthy states.

Note that the wing type descriptions here are incredibly insightful, but the super short descriptions of each type without the wings are not. I am 9w8, and my husband was amazed at how well the 9w8 description fit me in both my healthy phases and my stressed out unhealthy phases, but the general description of 9s alone is not very useful.

Here's the link:

This is me 9w8 (the only thing missing is the influence of 7 in my tritype):

This is my INTJ 1w9 husband:

No wonder we are compatible!

Here's the google books result (a preview of the book) for "Personality Types: Using the Enneagram for Self-Discovery" by Don Riso and Russ Hudson. This book gives very detailed descriptions of the types at each level of development, which I found very useful.
