What do I get at the end?

A personality report built from your answers: your type and group, five trait percentiles, how rare your mix is, and chapters on love, work, stress and blind spots.

How long does it take?

About six minutes. There are 30 short statements, and you rate how much each one sounds like you.

The statements come from the International Personality Item Pool, used in published personality research. Your result is as accurate as your answers, so answer as you usually are, not as you would like to be.

Is this the same as the Myers-Briggs test?

No. The 16 types here are our own, built on the Big Five traits that psychologists use in research. It is not affiliated with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.

Can my personality type change?

Traits are fairly stable in adults but they do shift over the years, especially after big life changes. Retaking the test every year or two shows how you have changed.

Only you. Your answers are used to calculate your report and, without your name, to keep the comparison data up to date.

From the chapter "In love", written for The Mentor

You fall for potential. You see who someone could become and give them room to get there.

The risk is that you keep giving after it stops coming back. Your report shows the three signs you're past that point, and what to say when you get there.
