The in-person iEQ9 training...was rich in opportunities to practice using the tool and I left the training inspired to start using it with my clients. I have decided that iEQ9 will be a principal part of my coaching offering... as I truly believe it can speed up the journey to self-awareness because it's happened to me - and I thought I was pretty self-aware!
Lucy Dennis Executive Coach
I am an IOP with over 20 years of experience and have been certified in many assessments, but this one by far is one that I would endorse in a heartbeat... It goes into the depth of truly understanding people, with care and compassion. It does not box but rather empowers healing and growth.
Anisha Patel IO Psychologist
The iEQ9 approach to the enneagram creates a strong framework for using the complete enneagram as a coaching system. Beyond a detailed and accurate portrait of one's enneagram type, the coaching approach they teach gives specific tools and paths for growth, which is the whole point of the enneagram system.
Tim Peek Coach
The most profound training I have ever completed in a decade of training in similar fields. The facilitation was excellent and the training materials comprehensive. I have already been using the Enneagram with clients to great effect and can't wait to continue my learning, both personally and with my clients. I can't recommend this course highly enough.
Will Harvey Executive Coach
The Enneagram offers the opportunity to align, link and synergise various organizational development initiatives. Our enterprise solutions offer deep, accelerated leadership development, teambuilding, communication, collaboration and productivity, resulting in a better bottom line.
To support your long-term organization development goals and capacity-building, we offer customised in-house training for your internal practitioners, on your organization’s application of the tool.
This training adapts our standard four-day training workshops to deeply embed the required understanding, workshop how the iEQ9 will function in your organization or intervention, and support practitioners in integrating the Enneagram with other key OD initiatives and processes.
Accreditation gives you free, life-long access to comprehensive self-managed software, to administer assessments and reports for your practice or business and corporate clients.
We solve one of the biggest challenges for practitioners: the administrative burden of running a successful coaching business. Forget spreadsheets and manual follow-ups. Our powerful admin system is your central hub for managing your entire coaching workflow.
Imagine effortlessly deploying assessments for a workshop of 100, tracking every client’s progress, sending reminder emails, and handling billing, all from a single, intuitive dashboard – on your desktop or phone. This isn’t an afterthought; it’s a sophisticated system built from the ground up for coaches and used daily by our practitioners.
In professional development, you’re often forced to choose between the data-driven rigor of corporate tools and the nuanced depth of transformational frameworks. The iEQ9 was engineered to end this compromise.
The iEQ9 Professional System delivers both. We provide the independent validation demanded by discerning enterprise clients. In enterprise contexts, practitioners triangulate iEQ9 insights with 360-degree feedback, engagement data, and business KPIs to move from insight to measured implementation—typically using 360s, pulse/engagement measures, and team process metrics. This psychometric discipline is then fully integrated with a deep developmental coaching pathway that drives tangible outcomes like improved psychological safety, change adoption, and talent retention.
Outputs are designed for enterprise portability and integration with leadership pipelines, talent reviews, and team charters.
Explore the rigorous psychometric approach that ensures our assessment is reliable. Which powers our integrated vertical development framework, providing a single, powerful tool for mapping growth.
We operationalize Enneagram constructs into measurable dimensions, align them with the adult-development literature on vertical capability, and subject them to modern psychometric evaluation. We design the assessment using a construct-to-scale pathway.
Where applicable, we examine measurement invariance across regions and demographics to support fair use in global organizations. The questionnaire’s user interface is also intentionally designed for broad accessibility, employing multi- modal inputs (e.g., Likert scales, sliders, rankings) and has been tested with assistive technologies and designed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA; periodic audits ongoing.
For over 15 years, the iEQ9 has been at the forefront of vertical development within the Enneagram tradition, offering a sophisticated, all-in-one system that measures maturity and growth without the need for external proprietary models or additional assessments. Drawing from the Enneagram’s rich psychological history – fleshed out by Dr Claudio Naranjo in the 1970s and refined through decades of contributions from global practitioners – the iEQ9 embeds vertical development directly into its core framework.
At the heart of this is our Levels of Integration, a time-tested Enneagram-based maturity continuum measurement system. This isn’t a bolted-on feature; it’s inherent to the Enneagram, providing nuanced insights into how individuals evolve from fixation and defense mechanisms toward greater integration, virtue, and essence.
Complementing the levels are our Six Dimensions of Strain, which assess an individual’s current contextual pressures, offering a holistic view of how strain influences maturity.
Unlike approaches that introduce new models to “enhance” the Enneagram, iEQ9 honors the system’s original integrity, empowering practitioners with a mature, unified tool that’s been battle-tested in thousands of coaching sessions worldwide.
Integrative Enneagram Solutions stands at the forefront of personal growth and self-awareness, offering science-based Enneagram assessments, training programs, and innovative software
solutions. We empower professional coaches, OD practitioners, therapists, and leaders with a comprehensive suite of tools designed to unlock individual, team, and organizational effectiveness.
At the heart of our approach is the Integrative Enneagram Questionnaire (iEQ9) – the world’s most accurate and comprehensive Enneagram assessment. Combining advanced technology with
rigorous psychometric research, the iEQ9 delivers deep insights into core motivations, strengths, and challenges, supporting transformative coaching and development.
The Enneagram is a transformative framework that uncovers the hidden forces driving our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. By revealing the subconscious patterns that shape our personality, it empowers
us to move beyond habitual responses and create more fulfilling ways of being.
At its essence, the Enneagram maps out nine unique personality types—each with its own set of motivations, fears, and strengths. This framework is further enriched by the integration of three centers of
intelligence, wings, and 27 subtypes, offering a nuanced, comprehensive view of human behaviour.
Rather than limiting us to fixed labels, the Enneagram invites us to explore our inner dynamics and embark on a journey of self-awareness and personal growth. It is a practical tool for understanding what
holds us back and illuminating the path toward emotional balance, self-mastery, and liberation.
The iEQ9 Questionnaire is a groundbreaking Enneagram personality assessment tool that leverages advanced software technology to dynamically adapt to your responses. This adaptive capability ensures
unparalleled precision, delivering results that are accurate, valid, and reliable.
Rigorously validated using stringent psychometric techniques—such as Cronbach’s alpha, varimax rotation, and test-retest validation—and reinforced by qualitative interviews and cross-correlation with the
Big Five Factor assessment, the iEQ9 stands as the premier Enneagram tool for professionals.
This sophisticated 30-minute self-assessment forms the foundation of our comprehensive iEQ9 reports. It measures clients against the nine motivation patterns of the Enneagram and pinpoints their complete
profile—including their Center of Intelligence, Instinct, 27 Subtypes, Levels of Integration, TriFix, Social Styles, Conflict Styles, and the Six Dimensions of Stress and Strain. Through these insights,
the pathway to meaningful development becomes clear and accessible.
