The results won't be debated because nothing has been published in the scientific literature about the enneagram.
I really just want to point out that when you read stuff like this:
"Thus, each type has a particular way of coping with the dominant emotion of its Center. We can briefly see what this means by examining each type, Center by Center. In the Instinctive Center, Eights act out their anger and instinctual energies. In other words, when Eights feel anger building in them, they immediately respond to it in some physical way, raising their voices, moving more forcefully. Others can clearly see that Eights are angry because they give themselves permission to express their anger physically. "
That the author is just pulling it out of their arse. Maybe they have very insightful buttcheeks, but that doesn't change where it is coming from.
Curiously, looking at the page dinkulum linked, the enneagram will/is validated by the methods they use to the extent it resembles the big 5. It's too hard to explain why that is true here though, but I'm quite amused. They should be using a different mathematical model.
