Coronavirus Response by Enneagram

The Enneagram test is is a comprehensive personality test that has become wildly popular the past few years. It breaks people down into nine basic categories based on their fears, desires and motivations.

I thought I would have a little fun with the Corona frenzy that has the world shut down right now, and I broke down the responses each personality type would have.
