Free personality test

Please read the below before you start doing this free personality test:

  • the test is really long (more than 80 questions), therefore please ensure you can dedicate at least 20-30 minutes.
  • a short break in the middle will not hurt – you will probably get slightly tired somewhere around the 40th question. The most important thing here is to avoid rushing as this will affect your results.
  • please answer the questions honestly, even if you do not like the answer – the most serious mistake you can make here is answering questions from the standpoint of “this is the person I would like to be”.

Once finished, please press the “Results” button right below the test. You will see a four-letter combination, along with separate scores for each trait. Please remember this combination as it will represent your personality type. The type descriptions will be listed there as well.

This is also a good way to determine the personality type of your friend, girlfriend/boyfriend, colleague etc. – just imagine their answers to the test when you are going through it.

Good luck!

P.S. This free personality test is based on the writings of Carl Jung, David Keirsey and Isabel Briggs-Myers, and its results may be similar to those of a professional MBTI test, but please note that this is not an MBTI test and should not be seen as such.
