Frequently asked questions

Why choose Integrative Enneagram Solutions?

Integrative Enneagram Solutions stands at the forefront of personal growth and self-awareness, offering science-based Enneagram assessments, training programs, and innovative software solutions. We empower professional coaches, OD practitioners, therapists, and leaders with a comprehensive suite of tools designed to unlock individual, team, and organizational effectiveness.

At the heart of our approach is the Integrative Enneagram Questionnaire (iEQ9) – the world’s most accurate and comprehensive Enneagram assessment. Combining advanced technology with rigorous psychometric research, the iEQ9 delivers deep insights into core motivations, strengths, and challenges, supporting transformative coaching and development.

What exactly is the Enneagram?

The Enneagram is a transformative framework that uncovers the hidden forces driving our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. By revealing the subconscious patterns that shape our personality, it empowers us to move beyond habitual responses and create more fulfilling ways of being.

At its essence, the Enneagram maps out nine unique personality types—each with its own set of motivations, fears, and strengths. This framework is further enriched by the integration of three centers of intelligence, wings, and 27 subtypes, offering a nuanced, comprehensive view of human behaviour.

Rather than limiting us to fixed labels, the Enneagram invites us to explore our inner dynamics and embark on a journey of self-awareness and personal growth. It is a practical tool for understanding what holds us back and illuminating the path toward emotional balance, self-mastery, and liberation.

What makes the iEQ9 assessment so accurate?

The iEQ9 Questionnaire is a groundbreaking Enneagram personality assessment tool that leverages advanced software technology to dynamically adapt to your responses. This adaptive capability ensures unparalleled precision, delivering results that are accurate, valid, and reliable.

Rigorously validated using stringent psychometric techniques—such as Cronbach’s alpha, varimax rotation, and test-retest validation—and reinforced by qualitative interviews and cross-correlation with the Big Five Factor assessment, the iEQ9 stands as the premier Enneagram tool for professionals.

This sophisticated 30-minute self-assessment forms the foundation of our comprehensive iEQ9 reports. It measures clients against the nine motivation patterns of the Enneagram and pinpoints their complete profile—including their Center of Intelligence, Instinct, 27 Subtypes, Levels of Integration, TriFix, Social Styles, Conflict Styles, and the Six Dimensions of Stress and Strain. Through these insights, the pathway to meaningful development becomes clear and accessible.

Can you confirm the ICF CCEU details?
