This long-distance date is perfect for couples who want to have deep conversations and learn about each other’s personalities in more depth. The Enneagram test is a personality system that identifies nine different types, each with its core motivations, fears, and patterns of behavior. By understanding your Enneagram type and your partner’s, you can gain insight into how each of you thinks, reacts, communicates, and connects with others. It is a thoughtful way to spend a video call while building greater understanding and empathy in your long-distance relationship.
