19-10-2021... The Enneagram briefly explained
In the Netherlands Willem Jan van de Wetering is an authority in the field of the Enneagram. He passed away in 2019 but his website still exists and is active. https://www.willemjanvandewetering.nl/ A small list of his work: For the slew of us (me) he was the founder of the music magazine Hitkrant. Before Hitkrant in 1974 founded, worked as a journalist for the Parool, De Amersfoortse Courant, Het Brabants Dagblad and MuziekParade.
He also made his mark in the music world: he was the manager of several bands, including Greenfield & Cook. In 1980 he became director of record company Carrère, where he contracted Luv, Babe, Frizzle Sizzle and Roberto Jacketti & the Scooters, among others. In 1993 he became director of Radio North Sea. In 1994, the journalist started Andromeda Publishing House. In recent years, Van de Wetering has worked as a trainer, coach and writer.

By the way, he offers two books for free to download on his website, should you be interested. Download books But I want to start with a test. Just because it's fun and interesting.

In the knowledge of others, especially. 🧐 Willem Jan van de Wetering's website has a comprehensive test, but there are also less extensive tests on the internet.
I tested 2 for you.
Test 1
Well, I'm an Adventurer. I count it well. 😉 Well not everything. I used to be more of an adventurer than today. Now I like silence and being alone, but I recognize a lot of this type. Based on the answers chosen, the following Ennea type fits your personality best:
| 7. | The Adventurer |
In all tests, I would like to emphasise that it's not as black and white as your test results appear. There are multiple factors in your personality in determining your type. There are also so-called subtypes. These don't show up in this test. 
More so in this test2, however, that result was quite a bit off of WJ van de Wetering. But I just made it a nice combination because I already wrote. It's not so black/white.
Viewed the types on his website. Lots of relatable. Most I recognize myself in is type 2.

His name did indeed ring a bell and this' old 'was once subscribed to that cute pop magazine. It was mostly about the lyrics, which I saved.
