I'm a sucker for personality tests like this. What are your Enneagram results, @sarahadowney, and were they what you expected?

@rrhoover I am an Eight with a Nine wing (the Bear). And I remember being skeptical the first time that my friend and now cofounder Isabella described it to me. I was like, “is this astrology?” But then I read the description, and it was so spot on that it was scary. Here’s our own version that we wrote for Blueprint: “The Bear is protective, quietly strong, resolute, shrewd, watchful, territorial, objectifying, coarse, and provoking. They are attuned to others and secretly tender-hearted, but can be selfish and menacing.” Obviously these traits go from best to worst, and not everyone is displaying all of them at at once (or ever in some cases), but that is me to a T. @rrhoover I’m curious what yours is!

Great app. I am just curious that how do you plan to keep people coming to the app over and over? Or is it just a one time thing? Congrats, good luck!

@milkers Hey and thanks! There's the equivalent of hundreds of pages of content in there, so we hope people come back to keep delving in because it'd be impossible to see it all in one go. You also get a unique piece of personalized content in your home feed every day, from tips based on your type/wing/instinct to blog posts (e.g., "what type is this famous character?") We are also working on a gameification element that lets users take mini lessons and quizzes on the different types and their preferences. In addition, things like your instinct can change over time, so taking that test every once in a while can keep you apprised on which one is currently dominant.

Blueprint is a personality app that teaches you about people at their deepest levels. In the app, you’ll: - Learn about the nine personality types, each of which has unique fears, desires, thought patterns, behaviors, manipulation tactics, and more - Discover the automatic perceptions and behaviors that can interfere with your own happiness—and how to make better, more fulfilling choices instead - Immerse yourself in the Enneagram types of those you know, so you can relate to them in more accepting and empathetic ways - Equip yourself to become a personality expert, with a comprehensive knowledge of how people think and behave Blueprint was a labor of love that we’ve been building for the past 2.5 years. None of us got paid, we’re a tiny team of four, we didn’t raise any money, and a few of us worked full-time jobs at the same time. By sharing Blueprint with you on Product Hunt, this is our public debut and we’re excited to see what you think, all the way from Enneagram fanatics to people who haven’t heard of it and are just curious. We sincerely hope you’ll enjoy it. If you take the test, let us know what type you are and any other questions you have about the Enneagram.

@kevinnewmanyo thanks so much! What is your type?

@kevinnewmanyo From our app, "The Entertainer is gregarious, animated, spontaneous, quick-thinking, uninhibited, restless, distractible, nervous, and manic. They are high-energy and optimistic, but can be highly avoidant and chaotic." Basically the life of the party 🎉
