Take our Inteligex Trader Enneagram test to discover your true personality and how it affects the way you approach trading. You might be surprised by the results!
Type 1 - The Perfectionist
You are driven by your natural energy and ambition to be the best at anything you set your mind to. You thrive in an environment with specific goals and regular activities you can tick off your to-do list. Your strong eye for detail means you prefer to follow the rules and you can become frustrated by those who cut corners.
Perfectionists make good leaders, as well as organizers, and they tend to be popular amongst their friends. Especially if they organize events or keep the social activities moving. Although they might stress out those who actually enjoy being disorganized! Perfectionists are often not comfortable sharing their feelings or emotions with others. They are also notorious for finding it harder to relax than other personality types.
Your perfectionist personality is the perfect fit with the Inteligex system as it gives you all the goals and metrics that tick your boxes, backed up with the extra knowledge and feedback you need to perfect your game.
Your Helper personality means you are a people-person who is probably happiest when you are helping others rather than focusing on yourself. You’re probably remember all your friend’s birthdays and we bet you have the perfect shoulder to cry on.
Helpers do well in team environments where they can work for the common good to create something that is bigger than the sum of its parts. They also thrive working for themselves in environments where they can help others. Helpers can become resentful when their team efforts are not acknowledged and you need to be careful not to give too much of your personal energy to other people.
Your helper personality is the perfect fit with the Inteligex system as you get the best of both worlds working for yourself, but with beneficial interaction with your colleagues. If you feel bad about too much personal gain you can always invest some of your profits into some worthwhile ventures!

Achievers get a thrill from lifting others too. You’re either a natural leader, or a fearless adventurer who is happy creating new ideas or ways of working. You make decisions quickly - when you have the right information in front of you. Achievers often have a secret fear of failure – of not quite hitting their own challenging goals.
Your Achiever personality is the perfect fit with the Inteligex system as it gives you the help, support and challenges to drive you even further forward. Because we know you want to be the best trader out there!
You’re not the sort of person who feels they have to ‘fit in’ with what everyone else does. You walk to the beat of your own tune, especially if it changes occasionally. Your unique take on the world means you have more natural creativity than the average person. Individualists thrive in any areas that require intense focus, and thinking through issues from different perspectives. Type 4’s are often the original thinkers behind massive changes.
Being the ‘outsider’ does have it’s disadvantages. While you want your unique self to be appreciated by your friends and colleagues, you may sometimes wish you could follow the pack where life often seems to be easier.
Your Individualist personality is the perfect fit with the Inteligex system as it provides a framework for your legendary focused thinking powers. It also provides team support for those occasional moments when you yearn to be part of a team.
Investigators are sponges for information and you like to soak up it up in your own way. There’s a good chance you’re an introvert; probably feel comfortable in your own company. Few introverts are actually loners, but you might find busy, hectic workplaces more tiring than the average person. Investigators tend to like regular routines and their diligent nature means they can often pick out overlooked information.
While Investigators tend to be self-contained and independent, they can resist asking for assistance from people who would very happy to help. So don’t be afraid to reach out when you need something you can’t provide for yourself.
Your Individualist personality is the perfect fit with the Inteligex system as you can absorb a wealth of knowledge and experience. And yes, you can also reach out for support without leaving the peace of your comfort zone!
The bottom line with you is that you want to feel safe. Loyalists, more than any other personality type, tend to run through future possible scenarios imagining what could go wrong. This could be simply double-checking details or playing devil’s advocate. Others may view this as a ‘glass is half empty’ view of the world, but it might help you to pick up on problems that others miss. This may stop the proverbial glass being knocked over.
As you might expect with the ‘Loyalist’ name, your friends class you as loyal and dependable. But it’s not necessarily easy to get into your inner circle. Your friendship needs to be earned because – well, we know you keep a look out for possible negative traits
Your Loyalist personality is the perfect fit with the Inteligex system as it provides a safe learning environment with a mix of education and support. After all, with your risk-adverse personality we know you’re not going to rush in and take unnecessary risks.
You are driven by a healthy burst of enthusiasm for life. Even if you are faced with a less enticing role, we can still expect you to roll your sleeves up and dive straight in. You think big, like to be spontaneous, and try to avoid mind-numbing routines. You might not always pick up all the small details, but you are also not one to drown in information instead of just getting a project started.
Enthusiasts are naturally entertaining and popular, but you may not always pick up on the emotions of other people. There can also be times when you lack focus. This could be keeping your attention on one thing, or choosing a plan and actually keeping to it.
Your Enthusiast personality is the perfect fit with the Inteligex system as you can channel your natural enthusiasm for big rewards, while using the tools to carefully direct your actions, thus avoiding some of your more spontaneous urges.
Not much gets in your way when you’ve set your sights on something! Challengers are dominant achievers who don’t worry about bending (or even breaking) the rules if it helps them achieve their goals. You are energetic, yet practical, and strong-minded. We wouldn’t expect you to procrastinate over something when there is an important job to be done.
Challengers can work well in teams – as long as they have a senior position. They can also be very dependable friends if they take their friends seriously. It is probably harder to enter your inner circle of friends than it is for most other personality types.
Your Challenger personality is the perfect fit with the Inteligex system as your main aim in life is to be the master of your fate. You can use the training and support to build a focused highway to success.
Peacemakers naturally avoid conflict so we know you’re the sort of person who is quite happy being part of the crowd, rather than leading it from the front. The other interesting contradiction with you Peacemakers is that you tend to much more capable than you give yourself credit for! If a situation falls to you to solve, you tend to just get on with it. Your colleagues won’t be surprised by your capabilities, although some might step in and steal your glory.
You tend to avoid what you might class as ‘unnecessary change’, preferring to stay within your comfort zone. However you make friends easily as you tend to see the positives in people rather than their negatives.
Your Peacemaker personality is the perfect fit with the Inteligex system as you can get the benefit from established and tested knowledge, along with the support of other people on your course. We’ve already established that you are far more capable than you think!
