What this is
The nine-type model is public. The RHETI's forced-choice items are copyrighted and are not used here — these are original Likert items, so the nine scores are independent and the result reports how close the top two are.
Where it comes from
written down, not impliedNine-type Enneagram
The nine-type Enneagram of personality comes from Ichazo and Naranjo in the twentieth century. The RHETI's forced-choice items belong to Riso and Hudson and are not used.

Why these questions carry no evidence
Every questionnaire in this app writes its own items, because the framework behind an instrument is usually public while the published questionnaire is copyrighted. That is the honest way to build it and it has a cost worth stating plainly: reliability and validity belong to a specific set of questions given to a specific group of people, not to the name of the idea behind them. These questions have never been given to a sample, have no norms, and have no evidence that they measure what they are named after.
