Enneagram Questionnaire Part 2

This part of the questionnaire consists of three groups, each consisting of three subgroups of 16 questions each. You will only answer questions in one group, which is determined by your answers to Part 1. Answer each question by checking the box next to the response that best describes your personality. Again, be honest — your accurate score depends on it!

Answer the questions in Groups B1.1, B1.2, and B1.3 if your highest score in Part 1 was in Group A1.

Once complete and scores tallied, move on to Part 2 Scoring.
