I'm trying to find out what people think is the most accurate test. I want to narrow it down to one. You've got these:

Personality test based on Jung - Myers-Briggs typology

Free Jung Personality Test

Understanding the Eight Jungian Cognitive Processes / Eight Functions Attitudes

MyPersonality.info - Personality Types and Multiple Intelligences Tests & Information

Discordia Inc. - Just who the HELL do you THINK you are?

Free personality tests: find out your type


Please vote in the coming-soon poll, and also give some feedback here in the thread. Also if there are any other options, please suggest, thanks.

For me, the tests that measure cognitive functions, such as the third one in your list, seem to be more consistent than those that measure pure dichotomies.

I think this one is my favorite. It incorporates everyday situations rather than asking people to make generalizations about themselves that obviously correspond to one type or another.

Dichotomy tests tend to view weakness in one area as necessarily preferring the opposite, or valuing a certain area as having strength in that area. That's not entirely accurate. Being a T isn't about being a prick to people, and being a J doesn't mean that you can never have fun.

As I've just mentioed in another thread, the Singer-Loomis Type Deployment Inventory.
Sounds very good (measures both processes and dichotomies), but I cannot find where you can take it. Probably not offered online, nor free. (Or, is it disqualified for not being found online?)

I must say, this is the most inaccurate MBTI result I have ever received. Coincidentally, I have never scored as anything other than INTP, up to this point.

EDIT: Thinking about it now, if each question deals with the joint activity of two, opposite functions, then I can see why I would receive this result.

While I often use Ne and Si simultaneously, I generally use Ti on its own, rather than coupled with Fe.

Weird... these function based tests always give me the SFJ result. I don't know why.

I took it and got ESTJ.

Maybe it's not my favorite. :doh:

I think Engler is right; function combination questions should be supplemented with standalone function questions. If one uses Ne-Si in tandem, but uses Ne more than Si, this would be shown.

This leads me to wonder if there are any good MBTI tests..

I got ENTJ on that test. :huh:
That function combinations make sense though.

I rather like the cognitive functions one. It indicated something I previously have suspected: that I have very strong ENFP tendencies. This suggests I am rather borderline. I'm still sure I'm an INFP but its nice to have the more complex results.

Hmm it wasn't too inaccurate for me...

Is this test just programmed to pretty much give everyone ESTJ? :doh:

Hahaha, good observation. And for the two who didn't get ESTJ, they were only one letter off: ESFJ and ENTJ.

Anyway, the poll is up. Please vote, everyone.

Ah, too bad. You don't even have my favorite test on the list.
I like mine a lot, because it spits out the percentage and, what is way more important, you can also pick something in between on each question. I find that quite important, since sometimes there isn't anything that is 100% yes or 100% no.

If it is the most accurate though, I don't know. In any way I do NOT like socionics too much. That much I know. :D

I really thought I was going to be cut out to be an ESFJ for a sec there, but apparently it gives that to everyone. :cry: Really interesting approach though (and I liked that the questions were more concrete), although I couldn't really relate to any of the statements very well at all. Food for thought, anyway.

After all, it is harder to subconsciously control the results of a new test (and so then it may be less tainted).

I got INTJ on this one. It's a straightforward test that's easy to manipulate for desired results. Also has only yes or no options, which I find to be sort of limiting (I could very well have answered "sometimes" to many of the questions).

INTP. Again, pretty predictable, but this test had more options.

INTJ. Similar to the last test but more elegant, IMO.

INTP. Ugh, this one is too simplistic. Are you a feeling person? No? Then you are a T.

INTP. I liked the fact that you get to pick two answers per question, that there are three options, and that the questions were unusual. A little short, though.

INTJ and INTP tie. I always like this one. It's fairly counter-intuitive relative to the other tests (for me, at least), so it's less easy for me to manipulate.

I think this one is my favorite.
ESTJ. Um, I think this one's pitfalls and merits have been sufficiently outlined by the posters above.

You don't even have my favorite test on the list.
INTJ. This one has three answer options which is nice for those wafflers and fence-sitters among us.
