      • Recommended Enneagram Tests: To begin to determine which type you most identify with, Rob recommends having a typing interview with him or another certified Enneagram teacher. However, taking one of the better typing tests is often a good first step in zeroing in on your type. He recommends either the Chestnut Paes Enneagram Compass or the IEQ9 Personal Enneagram Test.
