This page contains the results files for this site’s Free Personality Assessment based on the works of Jung, Myers, Briggs and Keirsey. Assessments were based on the personality typing work of Carl G. Jung, expanded on and popularized by Katherine C. Briggs, Isabel Briggs Myers and David Keirsey.
After you have completed the Excel file assessment, the Results tab in the file should look similar to the graphic below.
The PDF files in the following sections will give you a much more in-depth explanation of your results. Pending your familiarity with Jung personality typing and Keirsey Temperaments, I suggest you follow the steps in each section in the order presented to get the information in a complete and logical manner. You may do the same to learn more about another Temperament or personality type of interest to you.
Start by reading the Overview Document
This document will:
- Go through your summary results to describe what all the terms and numbers mean;
- Tell you how to interpret your results, and how not to interpret them;
- Give you a background on Jung personality typing and Keirsey Temperaments; and
- Summarize learning styles for your result by trait (letter) in each Preference (box), which will be very useful to know because we all learn through life
Understanding Your Personality Assessment Results PDF
Identify and read your Temperament PDF
This section is optional, but I highly recommend it. It will give you a fuller understanding personality typing and their interactions, and will be referenced in your specific personality type PDF (next section).
Temperaments were created by David Keirsey. He created the original and current version of the Keirsey Temperament Sorter® on which the personality assessments on this site were based. There are four Temperaments in Keirsey’s system, each including four of the 16 possible Jung personality types. Your file will:
- Talk about the three other personality types sharing your Temperament;
- Describe how to deal with colleagues and bosses of each Temperament, in situations of stress, interviews and other aspects of the work place;
- Explain tendencies of romantic and other types of relationships; and
- Feature other insights you won’t find in your specific personality profile PDF (next section).

Understanding your Personality Type
These files contain information specific to your Jung personality type to:
- Identify your strengths and weaknesses, for work and relationships;
- Point out famous people who have the same personality type;
- Talk about your type as friends, parents and lovers; and
- Identify what success generally means for your type and give you ten lifestyle rules to attain that success; and
- Suggest other ideas for personal development.
Whatever you choose to take and reject from these files, it’ll certainly give you plenty to think about!

This application is simple & serves my purpose. I will be glad if i am notified next improved version on this. I am also willing to share relevant documents from my side.
Sure thing! Thanks!
This is very useful information in helping one to become self-aware and to work collaboratively with others. One comment: Those of us who are trained in the use of the MBTI use the word “Instrument” vs. Test. Reason being that there are no right or wrong answers (as in a test) and no good or bad types. This also is a way of avoiding locking ourselves into “box” in that we are the “Type”. We are so much greater than our type.
Thanks Kadi. What you say is debatable, though it is an excellent point.
Sure it is a test. A test doesn’t mean you have to fail it or pass it, or if there is a right or wrong answer. That’s a Judging perspective.
Tests can be to determine where you belong, maybe in a bell curve, maybe extent of progress, maybe in an array of possibilities or otherwise. That’s partly why I didn’t hesitate, and if you read the supporting content, I repeatedly hammer home the continuum interpretation rather than the boxes classification of results.
It is the common perspective that tests are for passing or failing, right or wrong answers, but so is the Myers-Briggs “test” being the common name it has. That’s why I chose the term to keep it “plain language”. “Instrument” instead of test is a only matter of political correctness if it’s not interpreted correctly, which I find a lot of people do.
Thanks for bringing up the matter to enlighten us all, Kadi. I’ll let the people choose which way they want to go when they talk about it.
Thanks for offering such a cool resource. Everyone in my office took the test and they are very accurate and have been helpful for our introspection and team building.
That’s super, JA! The test is much more meaningful when groups of people who interact together take it to give it real life context rather than just one’s own life for context in interpreting the results. Glad to be of help in a small way but your colleagues’ willingness to try and make changes is the biggest kudos here by far. Way to go!
This is great thank you so much! My hubby and I have had fun doing these together and comparing our results. I am going to get my colleagues at work to have a go as well and we can see what sort of team dynamics we have in play
You’re very welcome! I think this stuff is a lot of fun. People just have to be open to it. I hope it was helpful for your work. It’s one of the best places to try it for a group, as far as I’m concerned, because a lot is at stake there.
Amazing! I work as HR executive with a creative agency (India) and was looking for MBTI result’s explanation but never thought will get it in such details! I am planning to implement it in my office which would be helpful in training purposes.
Thanks a ton!
You’re very welcome! There are a lot of people in India. Please tell them about my self-testing tool. Spread the love!
Thanks a million for all of your work! The Myers-Briggs test is an area which stimulates my interest and your efforts are very much appreciated. (:
Thanks for the comment. I’m glad you found what I had to be useful. I love MB, too!
Excellent stuff! I’m planning to use your tools with my students. Just one question: I have access to the “official” MBTI Form M Inventory (93 items) but not to the scoring sheet, which means I have no idea how to score it. Would you have any indication? I thought I could use your spreadsheet but you use fewer items. Since I’m doing all this in Portuguese (I’m from Rio) I’d rather stick to Form M (which has been translated already) and try to score it. In any case, congrats for the great site!!!
Hi Leonardo,
Thanks for the compliments. Unfortunately, I’m not able to help you with the Form M as I have never seen it and couldn’t even begin to guess at how to score it. It might be online is my guess but I couldn’t find how it’s scored on a brief quick search.
The tests I have here are quite good. Some of the other material out there are more academic than practical as few would be able to understand it all… as interesting as they may be. I intentionally tried to make what I posted as user friendly as possible so that unless someone is doing a university course just on Myers-Briggs, or psychology degree on it, what I have here should be far more than enough.
Good luck finding your Form M scoring. I’m sure it’s out there somewhere.
Just had a more detailed look at the way of scoring. (yes an ISTJ)
There is a definate pattern in the scoring which could influence the results and validity.
All the answers A are E,S,T or J
All the answers B are I, N, F or P
Maybe you could shuffle the answers in order to change the pattern.
Cheers
Klaas
I sure wish you hadn’t poined this out, as NOW the results can be skewed for some us… I consistently score as either an INFP or INFJ, depending on what day I take the test. On another site I was given a percentage of each, 82% and 81%, respectively…. Now the genie is out of the bottle
Julia
Hi Julia, I forgot to reply the patterns comment but have posted a reply just now. I wouldn’t worry about knowing the patterns as it’s not that exact… and won’t override people’s self-perceptions that may skew their answers far more than knowing any pattern would.
As for your INFP or INFJ, that just means you’re close to even on the P and J and rather dominant on the I, N and F. Close to even is what I’d prefer since you can be a chameleon of sorts, but if you want to do something needing a strong trait, you’re then at a bit of a loss. I love it that I’m an E/I split as well as a T/F split, but wouldn’t give up my ultra-dominant N for anything.
I added the tie-breakers in my version of the test so nobody comes out even on any trait, like you could on most other versions out there. Don’t know why there was that short-sightedness all this time since nobody is absolutely perfectly 50-50 in life.
If someone wants to cheat, they can. They don’t need to know the patterns to do that cause they’ll likely have a self-perception that is a stronger force than some patterns that still isn’t definitive cause which A belongs to which trait? Not likely they’ll want E, S, T and J, so it’s not completely definitive. If I were them, I’d worry about dealing with the truth some have trouble accepting about themselves, to get the right results, rather than some pattern they might know about in the tests.
I have tried a variety of tests along these lines. Extraordinarily I came out as “Promoter” type on this test with an ideal partner type as “Protector” type. The first time a test has reflected my real life situation
Either I’ve done too many of these and learned to cheat effectively or this test works. Still, I’ll recommend it anyway.
Kind regards,
Alex
Good day! I am currently taking up my masters and I will be using the free Myers-Briggs test provided by your site. Is there a way you could send me the validity and reliability data of the test? My adviser wishes to see this first before pushing through with data collection. Thank you very much! God bless.
Hi Freddie, I collect no data from the tests itself. I only have website traffic information like I do with all the posts I have. For academic uses, I would recommend you use the real test the way they are, with data from tens of millions of people. You can contact the Myers & Briggs Foundation for that. I don’t know if they’d share or would want you to pay, but I can’t help you because I don’t have what you’re looking for. Sorry.
Just an FYI, the free test offered here is not the Myers-Briggs® assessment. John, if you’re doing research and want to use the Myers-Briggs instrument, you should contact the publisher, CPP: http://www.cpp.com. The test on this site in the Keirsey Temperament Sorter. If that’s the one you want to use, you’ll want to contact the Keirsey folks for info about it.
It is not as Emily stated and was stated that modifications had been made to the Keirseyan Temperament Sorter version of the test very similar in nature to Myers-Briggs. I’m working with Emily to make adjustments as will be requested by the Myers-Briggs people.
why is my test not giving me a results tab in the bottom of the screen? what do i need to do to remedy this
Hi, it might be the view type you have your spreadsheet default on. That’s my guess but I’d save your results, then bring the file to another machine, or get someone to look at it on your machine, to see if they can change the View you have, or if it’s something else. It is there!
