Vinnova Spends 400,000 Kronor on Unscientific Personality Tests

The Innovation Agency Vinnova has purchased courses, analyses, and workshops in enneagram for 400,000 kronor, reports P4 Värmland.

This is a type of personality test that lacks scientific basis and has roots in spiritual and mystical teachings, dividing people into nine personality types.

It simply does not match modern research. So if you're going to use this as a basis, it's not much better than a horoscope, says Magnus Lindwall, professor of psychology at the University of Gothenburg, to the radio.

Vinnova has not made itself available for an interview, but says that it has now stopped using enneagram.
