Answer every statement to see your type. Go with your first reaction — there are no right answers.

This free 16-type test sorts your answers along the four preference pairs that grew out of Carl Jung's psychological types: where you draw energy (Extraversion–Introversion), how you take in information (Sensing–Intuition), how you decide (Thinking–Feeling) and how you organise your life (Judging–Perceiving). It is an independent questionnaire with 60 statements written for this page. It is not the official Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) assessment, which is sold by its publisher, The Myers-Briggs Company, online and through certified practitioners.

How to use this tool

Rate each of the 60 statements from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Answer for how you usually are, not how you would like to be.
Leave no statement blank — the result appears once all 60 are answered.
Read your four-letter type, the percentage for each preference and the short profile.
Use the table of all 16 types to compare with friends or with a type you are torn between.

Formula

Preference % = 50 + 50 × S ÷ 30, where S = Σ key × (answer − 3)

Each axis has 15 statements: 8 keyed +1 toward E, S, T or J and 7 keyed −1 toward I, N, F or P. Answers are centred on the neutral 3, so S ranges from −30 to +30. A positive S gives the first letter; a negative S the second; exactly 0 is shown as the second letter.

Example

Suppose your Extraversion statements average 4 and your Introversion statements average 2: S = 8 × 1 + 7 × 1 = 15, so you are E 75% / I 25%, a moderate preference for Extraversion. Doing the same for the other axes might give ENFP.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the official MBTI® test?

No. The official Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® uses its own copyrighted questions and scoring, and its name is a trademark of the Myers & Briggs Foundation. This test is not connected with them: it uses its own statements and the four widely known preference pairs, so treat the result as a starting point for reflection.

Why did my type change when I retook it?

Preferences near 50% can flip with small changes in mood or wording. Research on type tests shows that many people get a different letter on at least one axis when retested, which is why the percentages matter more than the letters.

Is one type better than another?

No. Each type has typical strengths and blind spots, and every type is found in every kind of job and relationship. Personality type does not measure intelligence, skill or mental health.

For self-reflection and entertainment only: this is not a clinical, diagnostic or validated psychological assessment, and it should not be used for hiring, health or relationship decisions.
