ALL YOU NEED TO DISCOVER YOUR ENNEAGRAM NUMBER...

Welcome To The Discover Your Number

Enneagram Discovery Tool</h2

If we haven’t met yet, I’m Dr. Baruch HaLevi, also known as “B”. I am the creator of the Defy Your Number Enneagram system and this complimentary, simple, and quick Enneagram discovery tool called “Discover Your Number.” Although I use a premium online Enneagram assessment in my coaching program, you do not need an Enneagram test. Freebies are usually wrong and unhelpful. More importantly, no test can tell you who you are, and no one should tell you what you are. A quality test and the right coach can support you, however, you have everything you need within you to determine your type. With this quick and clear tool, you’ll understand the Enneagram and discover your number!

Here's How The Discovery Process Works

Simply ask yourself who, what & why….

Start with “Who” – who is this type out in the world? If it sounds like you, write it down on your DYN worksheet which you can download below.

Continue with “What” – what this type believes – the core values and beliefs of this type. If it sounds like you, write it down, and what specifically resonates.

Conclude with “Why” – why this type does what they do. The Enneagram comes down to our motivation – our “why” so write that down too.

All the numbers are within you, but some are more prominent than others. One number, in particular, will be your dominant number, also known as your “core type.” As you embark on this journey, remember to explore all the numbers and take note of which resonate, which don’t, and which you’re not sure about. The DYN Worksheet is a helpful tool to track your discovery process.

Bonus Tips & Strategies

Consider these additional tips & strategies to discover your number – or just jump right in!

Think about who you ACTUALLY are, what you believe, and why you do what you do. Don't think about who you wish you were or want to be.

Consider each number over the course of your entire life (particularly those reactive teens and twenties), not just what you are like right now.

Nobody likes the 'reactive' or uglier side of their number; however, the more we dislike a number, the more likely that it's our number - sorry.

Remember, there is not one number that's better than the others. They all have their respective superpower along with kryptonite.

Here's the truth - you don't have just one number. Yes, one number is your dominant or Core Type, but all of the numbers are within you. So review, and consider rank ordering, all of them. They are all within you!

You can explore all nine numbers, or go straight to whichever number you want to discover first.

Enneagram 1: The Reformer

The Perfectionist. The Idealist. The Advocate.

Responsibility. Order. Perfection. Integrity.

W H
O

WHO

Enneagram 1s are the most principle-driven and value-based type. They are detail-oriented, diligent in their efforts, and committed to excellence in their work. They revere integrity and strive to be responsible citizens and good human beings.

W H
A
T

WHAT

You value integrity, goodness, and strive towards ideals, like Nelson Mandela. This was a man who inspired goodness in others and never wavered in his ideals.

You value responsibility in yourself, others, and in all aspects of your life, just like Gandhi did. He inspired the world by teaching us what it means to take responsibility and do what is right.

You value justice, just like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and other Supreme Court Justices who are usually known as Ones. RBG dedicated her life to service, the law, and justice for all.

You appreciate the significance of structure, systems, rules, and order, much like Plato, Confucius, and Martin Luther did. These elements help us comprehend a tumultuous world.

You value quality and excellence, if not outright perfection, demonstrated through speech, actions, and probably a tidy living space, much like Martha Stewart's world.

W H
Y

WHY

You're probably a Type 1 if you have been described your whole life as 'the good boy/girl,' and feel guilt and shame around not living up to this goodness.

You're probably a 1 if you need order, structure, and clear rules. Life is hard enough with them, but without these things, it may feel impossible.

You're probably a 1 if you need to work smarter, not harder and don't need to become better, but probably need to become 'worse'.

You're probably the one if you live with an incessant inner critic that scolds you, others, or the world around you, 'shoulding' all over everyone (should, should, should...).

You're probably a 1 if you feel like the wind has been knocked out of you when someone doubts your integrity, responsibility, or the quality of what you produce.

Enneagram 2: The Helper

The Lover. The Friend. The Giver.

Relationships. Compassion. Commitment. Connection.

W H
O

WHO

Enneagram Type 2’s are the most relationship oriented, driven by their need to love, nurture, and provide for others. They prioritize people and invest in them with unparalleled attention and effort, demonstrating compassion, generosity, and self-sacrifice like no other type.

W H
A T

WHAT

You value compassion, and you are here to support, care for, and truly see those around you, much like Mother Teresa. She is synonymous with a life lived in service, self-sacrifice, and love.

You see yourself in a supporting role, committed to the people in your life, like Barbara Bush, Jill Biden, Laura Bush, Nancy Reagan, and Eleanor Roosevelt. Not coincidentally, they are all 2s.

You work to make the world a kinder, more inclusive, and loving place, much like Reverend Desmond Tutu, who spent his life fighting to end racism in a kind and hopeful 2-ish way.

You are all about relationships, navigating the world with people as your compass, like Pope Francis. This is a man who is known for his warmth and hospitality, making others feel at home.

You value optimism, hope and radiating a sunny disposition like Dolly Parton. This Twos beauty and success is only surpassed by her warmth, kindness and contagious optimism.

W H
Y

WHY

You're probably a type 2 if you live to give, nurture, and tend to others. This is true for all types but for 2s, it's more of a primal purpose - they need to please.

You're probably a 2 if you can't say 'no' to others easily, without guilt or shame. However, you should also consider checking out type 9.

You're probably a 2 if you know what others need (better than they do), but probably don't know what you need or how to get your needs met.

You're probably a 2 if you are highly aware of who's around you, how you're perceived, and adept at adapting to fit in or look good (though you should check out 3).

You're probably a 2 if you have lived by the mantra 'tis better to give than to receive'; even the thought of receiving makes you a bit uncomfortable.

Are you an Enneagram 2: The Helper?

Enneagram 3: The Achiever

The Competitor. The Champion. The Performer.

Success. Efficiency. Ambition. Awareness.

W H
O

WHO

Enneagram 3s are the most driven, achievement-focused, and outwardly successful of all the types. They value efficiency and results, are goal-oriented, and achieve what they set out to do. Threes are highly aware of looking good while doing it and are simply winners.

W H
A T

WHAT

You value being aware of your surroundings, knowing who's who, and presenting yourself in an attractive and successful light, like Oprah, an icon of success wrapped in a magnetic aura.

You value goals, achievement, and success, and you are in good company with fellow 3s such as LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Tom Brady, Simone Biles, and Michael Phelps.

You value charisma, charm, and the ability to step to the front and perform like the greatest performers ever, including Paul McCartney, Madonna, Sting, and Beyoncé.

You value efficiency and effectiveness, and you know how to get things done while motivating others along the way to the top, like Tony Robbins, Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg, and Taylor Swift.

W H
Y

WHY

You're probably a 3 if you are naturally and sometimes inexplicably competitive. Even letting your 5-year-old niece win at chess may be a stretch.

You're probably a level 3 if you have a natural ability to adapt to any given situation and navigate your circumstances successfully.

You're probably a type 3 if you are hardworking, lean into challenges, and do what is necessary to win (but also consider checking out Enneagram type 8).

You're probably a 3 if you've lived your life like the 'golden boy/girl,' good at most everything you set out to do - you just have the magic touch.

You're probably a 3 if you aren't very emotional and resonate with the following reasoning - because emotions are inefficient and messy.

Are you an Enneagram 3: The Achiever?

Enneagram 4: The Individualist

The Artist. The Romantic. The Bohemian.

Authenticity. Feelings. Creativity. Suffering.

W H
O

WHO

Enneagram 4s are the most emotionally sophisticated and creative of all types. They are expressive and unafraid of the darker aspects of life. They need to be authentic and unique, primarily through self-expression, sharing feelings, and living a meaningful life.

W H
A T

WHAT

You value originality and authenticity, expressing it in all aspects of your life, like fellow 4s Bob Dylan, Prince, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, and Cher.

You are not afraid of the darker emotions and have resilience in facing life's suffering, true survivors like Dr. Viktor Frankl, Anne Frank, and Jacqueline Kennedy, inspiring others through their example.

You value artistic expression and see the world as your canvas, regardless of whether you are an artist, like Picasso, Michelangelo, Frida Kahlo, Van Gogh, and Rembrandt, all fellow 4s.

You are highly attuned to your emotions and are able to articulate your feelings like the great authors and poets, such as Rumi, Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, Mary Oliver, and Allen Ginsberg.

W H Y

WHY

You are probably a 4 if you navigate your life based on your emotions. Everyone experiences emotions, but for 4s, emotions are not just something, they are everything.

You're probably a 4 if you talk a lot about authenticity: your authentic truth, authentic self, and, above all, your authentic feelings.

You're probably a 4 if you answer simple questions in a long, detailed, expressive, and creative manner when the waiter simply asked, "How was your meal?"

You're probably a 4 if you've been told, on more than a few occasions, 'you're too much' - too much emotion, too much depth, and too much suffering.

You're probably a 4 if you long to be special, original, and one-of-a-kind. You constantly feel like 'it' is out there somewhere and if you could just find it, you would be complete.

You're probably a 4 if you don't think about your thoughts as much as you feel them. (4s know what this means).

Enneagram 5: The Investigator

The Thinker. The Observer. The Intellectual.

Intellect. Thinking. Conservation. Boundaries.

W H
O

WHO

Enneagram 5s are the most intellectual and analytical of all types, with an insatiable need to understand, and an unparalleled ability to process and synthesize information. They are reserved, methodical, inquisitive, and clear thinkers.

W H
AT

WHAT

You value intellect and thinking, your primary (and secondary) strategy for how to navigate this complex world like fellow 5s Einstein, Hawking, Edison, Nash and Tesla...

You have a rich imagination and sophisticated inner life, just like Stephen King, Agatha Christie, Stanley Kubrick, and Alfred Hitchcock, who translated their ideas into a mesmerizing form of art.

You excel at translating abstract data and intricate ideas into invaluable systems like Warren Buffett, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Sergey Brin, and Jack Dorsey, the kings of the information era.

You value your privacy, keep things chill, are emotionally reserved, and really don't like surprises, like fellow 5s Anthony Hopkins, Daniel Day-Lewis, Jodie Foster, Annie Leibovitz...

You value conservation, not wasting, and are a minimalist by nature like fellow 5s Ken Wilber, David Byrne, Oliver Sacks, and Henry David Thoreau.

W H
Y

WHY

You're probably a 5 if you figured it out in about 10 seconds (and mastered the Enneagram system after that).

You're probably a five if everyone knows you're a 5 right off the bat, as it's one of the most obvious numbers to type.

You're probably a 5 if you are conservative, reserved, and a minimalist by nature.

You're probably a 5 if you hate surprises and feel drained being around people for too long (and frankly any amount of time is too long).

You're probably a 5 if you've been described your whole life as quiet or introverted (though check out 9) and just fine with that.

You're probably a 5 if you have difficulty directly experiencing your emotions, or need time to be alone and process emotions, "thinking" them through.

Enneagram 6: The Loyalist

The Loyal Skeptic. The Devils Advocate.

Loyalty. Security. Duty. Belonging.

W H
O

WHO

Enneagram 6s are the most prepared, devoted, and loyal of all types. This stems from their deep need to belong, stay safe, and provide security for themselves and those around them. They are dutiful, other-oriented, and are simply here to serve, committed to others, community, and their cause. There are two distinct subtypes: Phobic 6s, who embrace their anxiety and fear as a way to navigate the world; and counter-phobic 6s, who try to hide their fears from others, even themselves, coming across as bold, brave, and fearless.

W H
A
T

WHAT

You are quite anxious, but as a result, it makes you warm, relatable, and endearing, similar to six celebrities - Chris Rock, Larry David, Adam Sandler, and Ellen DeGeneres.

You are focused on safety and security, constantly sizing up threats like fellow Sixes Julia Roberts, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, or George Bush Sr. and Jr.

You value being tough and hiding your fears by presenting a tough front like Malcolm X, Tommy Lee Jones, or Mel Gibson, all of whom are counter-phobic 6s.

You value loyalty in others and exemplify it when someone earns your trust, much like 6s Sigmund Freud, Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, Tom Hanks, and Meg Ryan.

You value authority and rules, knowing that this is what it takes to create safe and secure societies, like so many prominent 6 politicians including AOC, RFK Jr., Mitch McConnell, Anthony Fauci...

W H
Y

WHY

You're probably a 6 if you have a hard time committing to an Enneagram number. Enneagram assessments like this can be a torture for a 6.

You are probably a type 6 if you tend to be chronically anxious with an underlying fear that follows you wherever you go. (However, it is also possible you may be a 1).

You're probably a 6 if you walk into a room and analyze potential threats, while noting the fire exits, the maximum capacity of the room, and any suspicious individuals.

You're probably a 6 if you ask a lot of questions, but you know you are doing it to probe for honesty, consistency and to make sure things are legit.

You're probably a phobic 6 if you embrace your anxiety, share it with others, or turn it into an endearing quality (think Sally Field or Larry David).

You're probably a counter-phobic 6 if you experience all of these other six signs, but then rush into danger, charging ahead as a way to deal with your fears.

Enneagram 7: The Enthusiast

The Optimist. The Epicure. The Adventurer.

Freedom. Energy. Optimism. Joy.

W H
O

WHO

Enneagram 7s are the most enthusiastic and optimistic type, wanting to live their life to the max, wanting to experience everything and bring joy, hope, and adventure to the world. They value their freedom, defy limits, and have fun along the way. Sevens are visionaries moving into the unknown with an unparalleled energy to pursue their dreams.

W H
A T

WHAT

You value freedom and living life to the fullest while having a lot of fun along the way, like Katie Couric, Michael J. Fox, Eddie Murphy, or Magic Johnson; all 6s who are magical in their own unique ways.

You value hope and optimism, like 7 leaders; JFK, Volodymyr Zelensky, or Richard Branson, who look at the future with vision and remind us of what is possible.

You value communication and do it with warmth, charm, and ease like Cameron Diaz, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Matthew McConaughey, all of whom we look up to for their 7-ish cool ways.

You value innovation, creation, and pioneering new paths, like fellow explorers Leonardo DaVinci, Amelia Earhart, Francis Ford Coppola, and Ben Franklin.

You value energy, enthusiasm and keeping things upbeat, both entrepreneur and entertainer within you like fellow 7s Barbara Streisand, David Lee Roth, George Foreman and Mick Jagger.

W H
Y

WHY

You're probably a 7 if you're a natural joke teller, the guy or gal at the center of the party who has everyone laughing.

You're probably a 7 if you have FOMO (the fear of missing out) and want to experience life to the fullest by taking every joy ride that comes your way.

You're probably a 7 If you've ever wondered or been told that you have ADHD (even if you don't).

You are probably a 7 if you fear boredom, monotony, or sitting around wallowing in suffering (and hate depressing movies or suffering-focused 4s).

You're probably a 7 if you feel like you have more ideas, dreams for the future, and plans than anyone you know, but don't always (or often) see them through.

You're probably a seven if you've gone through periods of your life accused by others of not being responsible, grounded, or following through with your plans.

Enneagram 8: The Challenger

The Boss. The Maverick. The Protector.

Strength. Control. Autonomy. Justice.

W H
O

WHO

Enneagram 8s are the most intense and powerful of all types. They are cause-driven, seek justice, and live to protect the most vulnerable among us or fight the good fight. Eights tend to be dominant, certain, and forceful in the way they move through the world.

W H
A T

WHAT

You value inner strength and the fortitude to stand up to injustice, like world-changing 8s such as Martin Luther King Jr., Winston Churchill, or General Patton.

You value resilience, resolve and a willingness to step out front and blaze new paths like bold 8s Golda Meir, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson, or Donald Trump.

You value intensity, strength and powering through conflict like power 8s Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Rush Limbaugh or Charles Barkley.

You value truth - telling it, living it, and knowing when others are withholding it - just like the 8s John McCain, Lyndon Johnson, Clint Eastwood, or Indira Gandhi.

You value being in control and most of all, not being controlled like fellow 8s John McEnroe, Bruce Lee, Tupac Shakur, Sean Penn and Pink.

W H
Y

WHY

You're probably an 8 if you've been told that you are "too intense," tend to overwhelm others, or are accused of yelling even when you don't raise your voice.

You're probably an 8 if others tell you that you're an 8, as it's one of the easier numbers to recognize (as you leave a path of destruction in your wake).

You're probably an 8 if you're comfortable with anger, not afraid to show it, but others are certainly afraid when you express it.

You're probably an 8 if you don't mind conflict. No, you may not love it, but 8s rarely back down because of it.

You're probably an 8 if you speed up when you get tired, work harder when you should slow down, power through your problems when everyone would simply walk away.

You're probably an 8 (or a 3) if you always get your way, relentlessly wearing down your "opponent" until they have no choice.

Are you an Enneagram 8: The Challenger?

Enneagram 9: The Peacemaker

The Diplomat. The Advisor. The Moderator.

Peace. Equanimity. Autonomy. Creativity.

W H
O

WHO

Enneagram 9s are the most peaceful and harmonious of all the types. Their presence is calming and reassuring to others. They are natural diplomats and bridge-builders, uniting people and defusing tense situations. They are highly attuned to their environment, understanding where to go and how to move to avoid conflict.

W H
A T

WHAT

You value peace and harmony and exude it in the way you move through the world and interact with others like Fred Rogers, Princess Diana, the Dalai Lama, and Morgan Freeman.

You have a quiet inner resolve and often-overlooked strength, like Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, and Gerald Ford, who led in a strong yet reserved way.

You value creativity, have a rich imagination, and are a quiet dreamer, creating in your quiet 9-way, much like Walt Disney, Jim Henson, Claude Monet, and Norman Rockwell.

You value autonomy, and do not want to be controlled or to control others, gently resisting when others try, a quiet type resistance like 9s Steve Wozniak, Dwight Eisenhower, and Tony Bennett.

You value comfort, quiet, and, above all, an absence of conflict - the defining attributes of a 9, like celebrities Connie Chung, Janet Jackson, Renee Zellweger, and Joe DiMaggio.

W H
Y

WHY

You're probably a 9 if others tell you that. They may try to boss you into it, and you may resent it, even if they are correct.

You are probably a 9 if you dislike conflict. While no one enjoys it, Type 9s really struggle with it, often going to great lengths to avoid it.

You're probably a 9 if you have a hard time saying 'no' (or maybe a 2) and you find yourself lying and saying 'yes' even though you know you won't do it.

You're probably a 9 if everyone has always told you, "You're so easy," and deep down, you hate it, and don’t believe it's true.

You're probably a 9 if you're a very active person, except when it comes to doing anything that involves conflict. Then you shut down.

You're probably a 9 if your whole life people have described you as an 'old soul' or a 'gentle presence'.
