How it works

EasyPersonalityTest.com is a free personality test. You rate 60 everyday statements on a seven-point scale from agree to disagree. Your answers place you on five traits, and four of them combine into one of 16 four-letter types.

The five traits

• Energy: Introverted (I) or Extraverted (E). Where you recharge, alone or with people.
• Mind: Observant (S) or Intuitive (N). What you notice first, facts or possibilities.
• Nature: Thinking (T) or Feeling (F). How you decide, by logic or by how it lands on people.
• Tactics: Judging (J) or Prospecting (P). How you handle plans, settled early or kept open.
• Identity: Assertive (-A) or Turbulent (-T). How you respond to pressure. This is the letter after the dash.

How scoring works

Each trait has 12 statements, six worded toward each side. Every answer counts from 3 (strongly agree) to minus 3 (strongly disagree), with the middle circle as zero. We add them up, and the side with more weight becomes your letter. The percentage shows how far your own answers leaned, from 50% (evenly split) to 100% (all the way). If a trait comes out exactly even, we ask you one more question so nothing is decided for you.

What this test is and is not

The four-letter types come from ideas first described by Carl Jung and later developed by Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers. Our questions, scoring and profiles are our own. This is not the official MBTI® assessment and we are not affiliated with its publisher.

We have not run a scientific validation study, and we do not claim an accuracy rating. Treat your result as a useful mirror for self-reflection. Do not use it to hire, diagnose or judge anyone, including yourself.
