KNOW YOUR TYPE The Personality App Reviews

I absolutely LOVE this App! As an enneatype 1, having "self-awareness" tools that I can access easily with my finger tips from anywhere and at anytime has helped me work through unexpected obstacles and challenges positively (particularly with other personality types).

Nice interface. Wasnt as informative as I would expected from a paid app.

There was no test to help you navigate your type- you are given a bunch of cards and then asked if thats like you at all. No probing questions, just large swaths of text that could apply to you (and in some ways all of them kind of apply to everybody). This app should give you a more useful tool for discovering your type- very disappointed. I have never wanted a refund before for an app, but I want one for this.

For anyone who study the enneagram this app is very useful. The weekly tips help you to live it!

Im pretty sure some of the absolutely glowing reviews for this app were written by the authors friends. Its an okay app, but its not great. Theres a lot of information on there, and her enneagram quiz is fun. I like that you can test your knowledge of the different enneagram types as well. Her video clips of the types are pretty bad, however. For example, in her video clip for type Four, the supposed exemplar admits to being prone to an "us versus them" attitude which, if youve read much on the enneagram, you know is almost verbatim how a number of other authors describe type Six! It seems that anyone claiming to have expertise on the enneagram ought not to have video clips as exemplars for one type saying things that are stereotypical of another type. Someone who wasnt very informed about the enneagram might easily mistype themselves based on this. The other problem with her app is the type tips. The type tips are very hit or miss, and some weeks, they can be downright trite. It includes tips like "write down three things you like about yourself," "think of some positive things in your life" and "when you start to feel bad about yourself, stop...just STOP!" Also, she doesnt show an in-depth understanding of the fixations in her type-tips. The type Four ones, for example, are almost always geared towards depression and could be applicable to anyone of any type who was depressed. Her type Six tips have a similar problem with anxiety, in that it seems like the general advice therapists would give someone with GAD, rather than specific to type Six per se. I think if she could "get back to basics" and work the fixations of the types into her tips occasionally, they would improve immensely.

Theres no real test or questionnaire. The app describes each type on a card and asks a vague question that is very circumstantial. Every card will apply to you and without a guided list of question youll never find out your type. You cant seriously be expected to evaluate yourself this way because the way the mind works, this like the visible self, blind self, and the fact that people tend to evaluate their lives and standing in life differently than it really is. A complete waste of $3. Like another reviewer, Ive never actually felt like I needed a refund but this time I really do...

I use enneagrams in my work daily, teaching people about how their unthinking patterns of behavior impact their lives. This is the best app Ive seen towards that end.

Once you install this app and figure out your personality type there are limited additional features to explore. But those tips per my type that arrive through my notifications are so perfect. Its amazing! Just the right words at just the right time. Its as if the app is in my head. Which I guess it is. Lol.
