Most Valid Personality Test That Is Free?

[Mondo]

I am planning to do an extensive statistics project in which I get a random sample of Duke students and have them take a Meyers-Briggs test along with the survey (where they answer questions such as.. are you in a fraternity? what's your gender? where are your from?) and I'm going to compare results and see what comes up. I'm just hoping for a high response rate.. lol.

Which free MBTI test would you recommend?

If you'd have asked me a decade ago, I could've given you a rundown on all the popular tests. I don't take them anymore, so I'm not the man with the data.

If you don't find a good one, I could perhaps write a very short (12 questions probably) test for you. I wrote one like that circa 2000 which worked very well in its limited use, but I no longer have it.

Contact the publisher of the real MBTI. CPP, Inc. - Leaders in Workforce Development. If your research design is solid they do provide free product to researchers. Sometimes. And they can be done online...

In lieu of the actual MBTI, the best free online test is the Thomson-Maidenbaum Personality Inventory (TMPI), which can be found here:

[ajblaise]

uhh I thought it was a consensus that the free Jung typology test at Humanmetrics was standard.

Personality test based on Jung - Myers-Briggs typology

Haha. Very funny, AvereX. Maybe I'll keep you 'round, just to make me laugh!

I got:

Your TMPI answers suggest that your type preference is:

ESFP

E 8 I 6
S 9 N 5
T 2 F 12
P 12 J 2

Like all of these tests, the results are just a guideline to point you in the right direction. It is up to the individual to make the final decision as to which type best fits them.

Facebook actually has a test that's no more than 20 questions and seems pretty accurate.

Indeed.

Hmm, that one made me INTX.

I don't think I could choose between these.

Which is more interesting to you:
knowing how people think?
knowing how people feel?

I liked that test. Somewhat different. I got :

E 9 I 5
S 3 N 11
T 4 F 10
P 13 J 1



But this....

I don't think I could choose between these.

... is true for me also. The one question I really took a long time to answer. Ultimately I said I was more interested in how people think because,how they feel, I already know. But I'm pretty sure that the ENFP answer would be "how they feel".

Good thing you have a X in your type

I always struggle with what's more important justice or mercy.

 

[colmena]

LOL

Your TMPI answers suggest that your type preference is:

INXP

E 2 I 12
S 3 N 11
T 7 F 7
P 8 J 6

I've never actually gotten X before. I like this test.
