Is the Enneagram more accurate than MBTI?
Enneagram test results are very accurate for determining your enneagram type and the MBTI test results are quite accurate for determining your MBTI type. Neither is in competition with the other. That being said, it can be very interesting to have the results for both of these uniquely different typologies.

What is the difference between the Myers-Briggs and Enneagram types?
The Enneagram types are typically described in a more holistic or less structured manner than the Myers-Briggs types. Instead of being described in a part-by-part fashion (e.g., I, N, F, J), each type is assigned a nickname, which immediately imparts a holistic understanding (e.g., “The Peacemaker”) of that type.
What is the difference between nature and nurture MBTI and Enneagram?
Nurture (Enneagram) vs. Nature (Myers-Briggs/MBTI) One of the most foundational differences between these systems is their underlying assumptions regarding the role of nature and nurture in personality. The Enneagram leans more toward the nurture side of things, suggesting that types emerge as a response to early childhood experiences.
How many levels of Enneagram type development are there?
Riso and Hudson describe each of the Enneagram types according to seven levels of type development. Similarly, in my eBook, The 16 Personality Types, I have outlined three phases of type development for each type.
Why do enneagrams have nicknames?
Instead of being described in a part-by-part fashion (e.g., I, N, F, J), each type is assigned a nickname, which immediately imparts a holistic understanding (e.g., “The Peacemaker”) of that type. This has the advantage of conveying a wealth of information in a single concept, even for Enneagram newcomers.
