The Enneagram of Personality is a typology of nine interconnected archetypes. A personality test using this framework is similar to the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) insofar as both employ archetypes to classify people into groups. Also like the Myers-Briggs, Enneagram-based assessments are on occasion used by corporations in order to configure teams in such a way that that its members complement one another instead of overlapping in their perspective and also to reduce conflict within the group. However, that is where the similarities end.
Though the MBTI is used more often than the Enneagram model, this fact isn't due to the former being more useful than the latter, rather only to the MBTI being widely well-known. As such, this tendency is likely to change over the coming years if any of these tests are to survive as team-building guides at all (which is, in itself, questionable, though probable, just not in a "one test says all" manner), mainly because the Enneagram offers plenty of insights that the MBTI simply cannot because it assesses something else completely.
The Myers-Briggs and other offshoots based on the same format (a.k.a., rip-offs), like the Keirsey Temperament Sorter (which is, in my opinion, nothing more than a poorly executed copy of the MBTI offering less accurate results for financial gain), classify into archetypes based on a person's preferred modes of information-processing and problem-solving. That mode is considered in a vacuum, that is, it is

There are different types of Enneagram tests. The following link leads to one of the simplest and most fun versions of the test. Enjoy!
