Frequently asked questions
The free personality test that you took provides some fantastic insights, but you’ve only seen 5% of what we can show you. Your Premium Profile holds the remaining 95% of insights into your personality type and goes way deeper than what you’ve already read. If you genuinely want to understand yourself and grow into the best version of yourself, then upgrading to the Premium Profile is a must. Think of it as your roadmap toward a happier, more successful, and more versatile you.
One of the most frequent responses from people after they take our personality test is, “I wish I had found this sooner.” For you, sooner is today, and that makes today the best time to upgrade to the Premium Profile. Today, you can take your happiness, success, and confidence into your own hands.
The first package (Premium Profile) gives you immediate access to the e-book for your personality type.
The second package (Premium Profile + Specialized Tests) gives you access to your e-book as well as 25+ specialized tests that will help you go deeper into how your personality traits affect your personal growth, relationships, and career. With the specialized tests, you’ll be able to answer specific questions, like:
- How well do I understand my own emotions?
- What does my dark side look like?
- Am I a perfectionist?
- How can I better understand my relationship with my partner?
- How can I connect with my partner on an even deeper level?
- Which job field fits me best?
The third package (All Premium Profiles + Specialized Tests) gives you access to all 16 e-books, so you can learn all that there is to know about every personality type. You’ll also get access to the specialized tests.
After buying, you’ll have instant online access to your Premium Profile, as well as the Premium Profiles for all 16 personality types, depending on which package you purchased. You can read the e-books online on any device or download them as PDFs for offline use. You’ll receive an email with a link to download your personal copy of the e-books that you’ve purchased. The e-books are yours to keep forever once you’ve downloaded them.
If you also purchased the specialized tests, you’ll be able to access them online instantly too. You’ll have unlimited access to these assessments for one year and will be able to revisit them as many times as you’d like.
Nope, what you see is what you’re charged. No matter which package you choose, you’ll pay a one-time payment with no sneaky renewals or hidden fees. Of course, you are free to upgrade your package at any time if you so desire.
You can download your Premium Profile as a PDF file immediately after purchasing it. You’ll also have online access to it through your 16Personalities Profile. If you also buy the specialized tests, you’ll have online access only for one year from when you purchase.
We didn’t slap this test together for the fun of it. Our research-backed personality model incorporates the latest advances in psychometric research, combining time-tested concepts with robust, highly accurate testing techniques.
Since 2011, we’ve been studying personality types and their influence on a successful life. As a result, our free personality test has been taken more than half a billion times and translated into 37 languages, making it the most translated major personality test available on the internet today.
Offering our test for free is precisely why we’re able to make it highly reliable and accurate – because the respondent samples are so large. If you’re interested, learn more about our open approach to validity.
Your Premium Profile is way more than a full-length e-book. In addition, you’ll get immediate access to extra online exercises that will help you dive deeper into the premium content. You can access these exclusive exercises in the online version of the e-book at any time, from any device (phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop).
Plus, you’ll have the ability to comment on premium content and discuss your insights with other premium members. Ask questions, exchange advice, and connect with like-minded souls who are just as interested in personal and professional growth.

From skeptic to believer
“Naturally skeptical yet having heard of this profile from several sources, I decided to give it a shot to prove to myself it was going to be loose and trivial. Boy, was I ever surprised. The profile was by far the most accurate thing I have ever read regarding my personality. Truly eerie.”
I now accept myself

Feeling vindicated
“I feel like I have been vindicated. Like someone finally gets me, and I’m not a weirdo. I appreciate the thorough research that these guys have done to help us live our best lives. I now have hope and am determined to be happier than ever!”
Would have paid much more
“The Premium Profile was super helpful. It helped me make sense of my emotions and desires in given circumstances. The most insightful information was revealing an optimal career path. I would have paid twice or three times for this much data about myself.”
Better understanding of my relationship

Crystal-clear vision
“Being brilliant but unable to stay in a job or relationship for long had left me feeling unappreciated and unloved. The Premium Profile has given me a crystal-clear vision of how to deal more successfully with myself and others. My future looks bright to me instead of bleak and barren.”
Like a manual for myself
“The Premium Profile provides enough material that I feel like I finally have a ‘Kelvin Manual.’ My girlfriend and I are now using both our Premium Profiles to get to a crystal-clear level of understanding for one another.”
Renewed faith in my future
