The below test contains only statements that are valid for Enneagram Type 4. It is meant to do both — to measure your Fourness and to describe Type 4 characteristics.
Type 4 is an awesome and very misunderstood personality type. Like other types, Fours can develop many negative characteristics when unhealthy, but healthy Fours are simply fascinating!
If you score around 70 or more, you are most probably Type 4. Only occasionally, it may mean that you have a strong Four-Wing, which means you are either a 3w4 or a 5w4. The best way to find your Enneagram type is to take all in-depth Enneagram tests available on this page and compare your scores.
