MBTI 16 Personality Types Test – Quick
DESCRIPTION
[Show/Hide]
The most well-known and globally used character assessment questionnaire, based on the Myers-Briggs Indicator (MBTI), reworked and customized by The Spiritual Seek staff. This version is the world’s fastest and shortest, In fact it only counts 4 questions and has an execution time under 3 minutes. The results are fairly accurate. In case you are not satisfied with the final profile, we suggest that you restart the test by clicking on the appropriate link and use the function called “Ask me a different question“, so that you can answer new questions and further refine the computation of your result.
The acronyms identifying the various character profiles are composed of 4 pairs of elements combined:
1. Introversion-Extraversion (I-E)
2. Sensing-Intuition (S-N)
3. Thinking-Feeling (T-F)
4. Judging-Perceiving (J-P)
An example: INFJ – The Advocate
(Introversion-Intuition-Feeling-Judging)
There are 16 possible combinations, and each profile has distinctive character traits, strengths and weaknesses. This type of personality assessment test is widely used in Anglo-Saxon societies, with particular regard toward the evaluation of professional aptitude, i.e., in personnel selection and in choosing the most suitable job for each individual.
