If you are already familiar with your own Enneagram type, you can skip to your own type in the videos below. You can also watch the rest of the videos in order to learn more about the other types, so you can learn to relate more deeply and skillfully with your friends, family, and peers who may identify with them.

Not sure of your type? There are all sorts of Enneagram typing tools available online, but of course it usually takes a lot lots of time, self-reflection, and guidance in order to figure out your own type. One really great place to start is the short Enneagram test below. We also encourage you to check out this short practice with Helen Palmer.
