Online free personality test to get accurate description of who you are and why you do things the way you do
Since the dawn of time, humans have drawn up schematics to describe and categorize our personalities.
From
the 4 temperaments of the ancient civilizations (sanguine, choleric,
melancholic & phlegmatic) to the latest advances in psychology, we
have been driven to fit the variables and complexities of human
personality into well-defined models.
The 16Personalities website
developed by a small group of enthusiastic researchers in Cambridge UK,
NERIS Analytics Ltd, provides a free online personality testing tool
for all of us to understand ourselves better just by answering a few
questions and get a pretty detail result about our personality type,
role (i.e. our goals, interests, and preferred activities) and strategy
(i.e. our preferred ways of doing things and achieving goals).
The
analytical model used is based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
(MBTI), which in turn based on Carl Gustav Jung's theory of
psychological types. It also incorporated frameworks from other renowned
researchers, including Socionics, Keirsey Temperament Sorter, Linda
Berens’ Interaction Styles, etc.

this model.
