Online Personality Assessment Tools
Do you feel energized after a busy day? Or would you prefer to relax with a good book? Do you prefer to plan a list of activities on your day off? Or would you rather spontaneously explore?
Personality tests can help you understand what drives your behaviors and help you identify suitable career clusters. The online tests listed below are not scientific. As a result, it is recommended that you seek the advice of a professional career counselor to administer personality tests and explain the implications of the findings. In many cases, you will find that the results confirm the ones you uncover here. It is important to note that these tests should not be the key factor in making life decisions. There are several other factors to consider.
Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Equivalent
/ The system of personality types proposed by Carl Jung (1921) and later refined by C. Myers and I. M. Briggs has become an extremely widely used personality theory in self-help, business management, counselling and spiritual development contexts, but it is not commonly used in academic research where, like all type theories, it is treated skeptically. The system produces 16 personality types on the basis of four dichotomies and is the system used in the Myers Briggs Type Indicator and Keirsey Temperament Sorter instruments, among many others. The OEJS is a free and open source measure of the four dichotomies which yields an equivalent result to the usual tests.
Open DISC Assessment
/ The DISC personality model is a system that divides people into four personality types. The model is promoted commercially by several different organizations for use in the workplace.
Big Five Personality Test
/ The general consensus in academic psychology is that there are five fundamental personality traits. When it is said that there are five fundamental personality traits, it is meant that there are only five traits that are completely independent (knowing someone’s level of one trait gives you no information about their level on any of the others) and all other personality traits will be correlated with one or more of the big five. This test uses public domain scales from the International Personality Item Pool.
Four Temperaments Test
/ Well-educated westerners in the 1850s and beyond often described themselves using the language of the four temperaments. Greek physician Galen (129–216 AD) extended the ancient four humors theory of medicine to describe individuals’ personalities. The four temperaments as the accepted way to describe personality was vanquished by the development of psychology after 1900, but recently they have seen a resurgence and been promoted in spiritual and self-help contexts.
Career Interest
Assessment - RIASEC Markers (Holland)
RIASEC.php / The Holland Codes (the acronym RIASEC refers to the six Holland Codes) is a typology of occupations that groups jobs into six categories and describes the different personality characteristics of people who are inclined towards each category. Since its development by John L. Holland in the 1950s, the theory has become the dominant one in the field of career counseling and it has been incorporated into most of the assessments you might take at a university career planning center. The RIASEC Markers from the public domain Interest Item Pool were developed by James Rounds and colleagues in 2008 for use in psychological research.
Communication Styles
inventory/ / The Communication Styles Quiz is a quick inventory used to analyze your main communication type and provide useful tips to help you communicate with others. The results categorize people based on people-oriented or task oriented preferences.
