Personality Palette: Looking for Patterns in Typologies

Paint palette with 10 personality system names on the paint colors

The Personality Palette Survey aims to find the patterns that exist (or don’t) in personality profile results. How much, if any, correlation is there between people’s personality types? Are most Capricorns ISTJs? Are you more likely to be an Enneagram 4 if you are INFP?

When you share your personality profile results, you are helping me examine whether there are correlations between 10 different profiles for multiple people.

Enneagram

The Enneagram is a system based on internal motivations, fears, and desires. In addition to identifying a primary type, it utilizes a structure where each type is influenced by the types next to them and by interconnected lines on the Enneagram diagram. Learn more.

* Before taking the survey: Note that your primary type is the number with the highest score. The wing is the adjacent number with the highest score. (e.g. If 2 is your highest score, your wing is either 1 or 3 depending on which ranks higher.)
