Free Personality

The
RHETI
Sampler’s 36 questions are only a part of the full, scientifically
validated 144-question
Riso-Hudson
Enneagram Type Indicator (RHETI,
Version 2.5) personality inventory. Short personality quizzes such as
the RHETI Sampler cannot guarantee that your basic personality type
will be indicated, although your type will most likely be one
of the top three scores in this
free quiz. We recommend that you read the type descriptions at the end
of this test, and in Riso-Hudson Enneagram books, to help
you identify
your basic personality type.
Instructions
for the FREE Sampler
The
RHETI
Sampler, like the complete RHETI itself, is a forced-choice
psychological test which requires you to chose one
statement in each pair of statements that describes you best. For each
pair of statements, select the statement that applies to you MOST
OF YOUR LIFE.
Do not over-analyze the questions, or try to think of "exceptions to
the rule." Be spontaneous and choose the statement that comes closest
to the way you have been most of the time, most of your life.
Occasionally
there will be questions that ask you to make a close call between two
choices. This is because the RHETI is trying to reveal areas where you
have similar behaviors or attitudes. You may skip questions that really
do not apply to you — but do not skip questions just because
they are hard to answer. If a question is very close and you
can’t decide which statement applies to you best, you can
come back to it after you have completed the Sampler.
The
RHETI Sampler usually takes about 10 minutes to complete.
(The complete 144 question RHETI takes about 40 minutes to complete.)
At the end of the Sampler, click on the Score Test button, and wait for
the computer to generate a personality profile of your scores. If you
have answered honestly and accurately, your basic personality type
should be one of the top three
scores. To confirm which type
you might be, read the type descriptions in the Riso-Hudson
best-selling books,
The Wisdom of the
Enneagram and
Personality Types —
the two most complete and in-depth books in the Enneagram field.
Thanks! And please
remember that unlike the full RHETI, this short, fun personality test
is NOT scientifically validated. We
cannot guarantee the accuracy of the results of the personality
analysis produced by this short personality quiz — only that
it can help you begin your journey of self-discovery!
