MBTI online tests; where are they and are they any good

Comments

I turned out ENTJ on the eggheadcafe one. Neat!

I believe...

[tricstmr]

that www.personalitypage.com has a test--but looking at it--it costs $5 to get your answers...

In any case.. they have pretty decent descriptions of the 16 types here: http://www.personalitypage.com/high-level.html

Only gripe I have is that they mostly only tell the "good" stuff about each type..

These aren't "online" so they don't really count, but I found tests in Keirsey's "Please Understand Me II" (a 4-letter type test, and an "intelligence" test which attempts to sort your preferences among his 4 types of intelligence, each one corresponding to a temperament). Lenore Thomson's book "Personality Type: An Owner's Manual" contains a test in the beginning too.

I'm sure both could be converted into online tests (copyright issues preventing)

Personality assessments

At best, such assessments are about 70% accurate -- which means it's quite common for one or more of the letters to be wrong. So... it's not a good idea to rely on assessments, and it's better to embark on a path of self-discovery. It's good to learn about the model and the principles behind it so that you may self-select a best-fit code for yourself. BTW, I'm a practitioner & Life Coach who assists people in doing just that.

This comment sounds like an advertisement for your services. I have checked into your lj activity and noted that you have no posts, no friends, and, of the sampling of comments I have seen in other people's journals, only comments on posts about personality quizes which all direct towards your websites. This raises alarm bells as to your purpose in this forum.

Please understand that if you are here to contribute to debate and discussion you are welcome to remain but attempts to advertise or solicit in this community will not be tolerated.

Thank you.

I IDENTIFIED myself in my comment -- I did not ADVERTISE myself. I simply answered your question, and I have the expertise to do so with some authority. If you had not required commenters be members of livejournal.com, I would have posted anonymously instead. My usual blog is on Blogger.com. I further invite you to check out those other websites I have promoted, and notice the LACK of advertising on them. I daresay you'll be astonished by the amount of FREE information I share.
I appreciate how the internet causes a certain amount of suspicion and cynicism, but not everybody is out to get you -- some of us actually try to benefit others.
