The number of people who are living to at least 100 years old in the U.S. has doubled over the past decade. Many centenarians credit their longevity, at least in part, to their positive attitude. Roslyn Menaker, 103, told The Guardian that "happiness, joy, appreciation … a positive outlook," are why she has lived so long. Ruth Sweedler, 103, told CNBC Make It that she was always praised for her good attitude growing up. "I think the effects of just being positive are overstated," he says.

Personality tests are often treated as objective assessments of one's innermost intentions. There is something that personality tests such as the Enneagram and Myers-Brigg aren't telling you, though: It is possible to have a bad personality. There is one test that might be better at reflecting what personality traits you have and how that could affect your behavior, he said: the International Personality Item Pool Test, or IPIP. This is often a "better predictor of behavior," he said, than the more popular personality tests. [Personality tests] don't get into the dirty underbelly of personality.
Even if you haven't taken the Enneagram test yourself, you may have been roped into a conversation about it. The Enneagram is 'focused on internal emotions rather than external behaviors'Unlike other personality tests, the Enneagram has an unlikely foothold in disparate communities. Howe, who lives in Pasadena, California, grew up taking the Myers-Briggs Test and other personality tests, but said the Enneagram is different. She first heard of the Enneagram test from a friend but didn't take it seriously until she read "The Road Back to You." Like astronomy or other typologies, every Enneagram test result is positive.
