Administrative Options

If you’re administering this test to clients, please be aware that you need to have studied the Enneagram yourself to be able to explain the test results and possible anomalous findings. Research indicates that the primary type is most likely one of the top three scores, but in order to distinguish which one is correct, you need to have sufficient background to interpret the meaning of the types and the system as a whole. While we encourage people to use the IVQ, we also want to warn you that doing so without sufficient background and training can cause confusion and mistyping.

  • Simple Administration

    All of your test takers use the same Username and Password. Uses are deducted from your account as the tests are taken. You will receive an email copy of each test taker's results.

  • Full Administration

    You assign a unique Password to each test taker, and have the options of sending system emails to your users, tracking who has and has not completed the test, and determining whether test results are sent to you and/or the test taker. More details.
