[Traditional Enneagram] New Enneagram Inventory (Experimental)

[Mal12345]

My answers to the version before revision announcements:

Here is the inventory:

Answer each statement with either Y for yes, N for no, or X for I don't know/no preference/both/neither/prefer not to answer...
The more X's there are, the less accurate the result. On the other hand, if do you answer with a lot of X's then that could be a clue as to your primary e-type.

NEW RULES: If your answer "depends" on something, or if it only exists in thought, put a "yes."

Sorry about the wait, I didn't receive any email notification about this post [MENTION=8936]highlander[/MENTION].

Your highest score was 8. 6 and 7 were tied for second. Type 1 was third. Your lowest scores were 5 and 9.

Your primary type is 8w7. 1w2 is in your tritype. There is some ambiguity in your scores. I've made some changes to the test statements and now I have to work on the scoring system.

I've decided not to change the basic form of the test.

I ended up signing up for a Gmail account so now get email notifications. But I guess the mystery of missing notification emails still looms...

Thank you for the scores. I much prefer the format of this test to the RHETI's "I have been" statements - this one more properly reflects attitude. "I am timid or unsure of myself" reflects attitude, "I have been timid or unsure of myself" could easily get interpreted as "I have been too timid or unsure of myself" and answered as such, when the person's actual stance is to move away from such a thing and it'd score the person oddly.

My gmail throws everything in the trash bin before I get a chance to even see it.

Thanks for the support. I sent that along to Russ to see if he has anything to say about it.

Let us hope so. The test also tagged the three main suggestions for my core type (1, 7, and 8. Current thought would be 8w9, maybe 872 or 873 tritype or something, but haven't done much any thinking on favoured wing or tritype, doesn't seem that relevant to me) so didn't fail on me, at least.

Your account is very protective of you. My new account doesn't care about me like that.

Have you tried creating a filter to get gmail to stop sending it all to spam/trash?
