Q&A with Katherine Chernick Fauvre

Questions: I heard Katherine Fauvre’s new Enneagram Tritype Test v8 is the “Best” Enneagram Test because it has nine tests in one, and ten tests if I book a session. Is that true? I am told it includes the Tritype Test, Instinctual Type Test, Subtypes Test, and Stacking Order Test is that correct? Is her test valid? What is it based on?

Katherine’s Team: Katherine Fauvre's Enneagram Tritype® Test v8 (ETTv8) represents the culmination of her unwavering devotion to the Enneagram and personality typologies. Her remarkable journey in this field spans more than five decades, beginning in 1970 when she first delved into teaching personality systems. In 1985, her exploration led her to the Enneagram of Personality, a pivotal moment in her career. Additionally, she began her qualitative research on the "internal experiences" of the types in 1994. Through relentless commitment and extensive research over the years, Katherine has honed her expertise, making her a true authority in the world of the Enneagram.

In 1994, Katherine embarked on an in-depth qualitative research journey, delving into the profound "internal experiences" intricately linked to Enneagram types. By 1995, she had earned certifications with the first three certification programs led by luminaries such as Helen Palmer-David Daniels in the Narrative Tradition, Don Riso-Russ Hudson of the Enneagram Institute, and Kathleen Hurley-Ted Dobson of the Breakthrough Method. These certifications solidified her position as a revered authority in the field.

Katherine is distinguished as the only person to have attended intensives with Dr. Claudio Naranjo, the creator of Subtypes in 1996, and Oscar Ichazo, the creator of the Enneagram of personality in 2005. Claudio Naranjo also validated her 1994-1995 Instinctual Type and Subtype Research Findings.

Throughout her illustrious career, Katherine actively engaged in various Enneagram programs, special events, and conferences. Her influential participation in events organized by the International Enneagram Association and The Shift Network for the Enneagram Global Summits played a pivotal role in harmonizing diverse perspectives within the Enneagram community. This active involvement contributed significantly to the development of more unified descriptions of Enneagram types.

Katherine's ETTv8 is the tangible manifestation of her unwavering commitment to the Enneagram. The roots of this comprehensive test trace back to her qualitative research, which began in 1985 and was officially formalized in 1994. This monumental research endeavor has touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of participants from all corners of the globe. The research was deeply focused on unraveling the intricate "internal experiences" associated with her Enneagram types and Instinctual subtypes, Identifications, and Stackings.

Comprising nine distinct testing instruments, including the Enneastyle Questionnaire, ETTv8 seamlessly integrates these components into the 2020 Enneagram Tritype® Test. This advanced tool serves as a meticulously crafted guide to assist individuals in pinpointing their Enneagram type, Tritype®, Instinctual Stacking, and Subtype. Additionally, it aids in uncovering patterns indicative of specific Enneagram types and Tritype®s.

One of the most notable attributes of this test is its remarkable ability to provide support to individuals navigating the labyrinth of self-identification. This is particularly significant for individuals with type 6 and type 9 personalities, who frequently grapple with doubt and indecision as intrinsic elements of their defense mechanisms.

The testing process is a comprehensive evaluation and ranking of the Enneagram types that individuals closely resonate with. The ultimate objective is to uncover their core type. It is imperative to ensure that individuals resonate with the idealized images and core fears intricately linked to their identified Enneagram types, while actively employing the characteristic defense strategies.

Moreover, it is crucial to emphasize that the test takes into account the primary Enneagram types (3, 6, and 9). These individuals possess an innate inclination to navigate life's intricate tapestry of circumstances, situations, conditions, and behaviors in a manner that fosters a profound sense of equilibrium and completeness. Individuals with these primary types may often find resonance with one of their wing types rather than their core type, adding a layer of complexity to the Enneagram exploration process.

Katherine Fauvre's contributions to the Enneagram community have been widely recognized and celebrated. She is a former International Enneagram Association (IEA) board member and is an IEA Accredited Professional Enneagram Teacher with Distinction. On May 16, 2023, she was inducted into the prestigious Who's Who in America Biographical Registry, acknowledging her exceptional contributions and influence in the field. Later, on August 22, 2023, she was also honored with induction into the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP), a testament to her standing as a top authority in her field.

Katherine's accolades extended beyond these inductions; she was bestowed with the title of "Top Enneagram Coach of the Year," a remarkable achievement recognizing her excellence in guiding individuals through their Enneagram journeys using her In-depth Inquiry Process, her work with Personal Empowerment, and Transformational Coaching. Furthermore, she was awarded the distinction of "Best Business Consultant" for the City of Menlo Park, California, in October 2023, cementing her reputation as a transformative force in her local community.

In conclusion, Katherine Fauvre's Enneagram Tritype® Test v8 represents the culmination of a lifelong commitment to the Enneagram and personality typologies. This innovative tool, born from decades of research and expertise, offers individuals a profound and comprehensive understanding of their Enneagram type, Tritype®, Instinctual Type, and Subtype. It achieves this by delving deep into their motivations, internal experiences, and responses to a meticulously designed battery of testing instruments. Katherine's dedication and impact on the field of personality exploration are exemplified not only by her pioneering work but also by the recognition and accolades she has been awarded.
