To determine your personality type, you can turn to professional tests that were created specifically for this purpose, or you can also … just remember your childhood

After all, it is then that we are often really real, even with a minimal set of social norms and rules and with big plans for the future! Or was it wrong with you?

Are you ready to travel to your childhood?

Let's go back to the time when you remember yourself, when you first felt that you are a person, you are a person. Sit comfortably. Close your eyes.

Imagine yourself in your childhood room. Look at yourself from the outside …

Who and what is around you?

What clothes are you wearing, what are you wearing on your feet …

What do you see in front of you, what is to your right … what to your left …

Now you turn and see your parents. Consider them

What are they?

What is your relationship with them?

Who do you remember first? Maybe you want to ask your parents something … or tell them …

What role has family played in your life?

Who else was there?

How did these people feel about you?

Now try to look into your soul. How did you rate yourself? Read your childhood thoughts.

What was the most important thing for you then? What did that little man live for then? Perhaps you want to convey something to the past, to yourself to a little one … or just pat your hair or pat on the shoulder … You can afford to do it now …

And slowly, when you are ready … go back … and our 21st century … to the computer … to determine your type of Enneagram …

And now it will be easy enough for you to choose one of the statements that suits your little one the most:

1. I have to be perfect.

2. I have to help others.

3. I am what I do.

4. I am different from everyone.

5. I don't know much.

6. I always have to do something.

7. I am very happy.

8. I am very strong and can defend myself.

9. I agree with everything.

Happened? Write down or remember the number of the answer.

Now read the statements in the order you have chosen, placing the pros next to those that you can now determine were best for you at the age of 6-8. Perhaps you will start with the types to which you identified yourself in the previous test, perhaps you will start with the least likely …
