Start with four sets of preferences
E/I, S/N, T/F, and J/P focus on energy direction, information preference, decision-making style, and life rhythm respectively. Take one letter from each group to form 16 common type combinations. What is described here is preference, not hierarchy.
Turn labels into specific questions
When reading about a genre, ask yourself: In what situations do I fit this description? Are there any obvious counterexamples? For example, instead of saying, "I'm an introvert," recording, "After a series of meetings, I need to be alone to sort out my thoughts," is more likely to help you organize your life. This example is a self-observation exercise, not additional diagnostic criteria.
What is the difference between this website and the official scale?
This site uses original questions and publicly explained scoring methods to provide free independent character exploration. This site is not an official MBTI® scale and has not been psychometrically validated. The research conclusions of the official scale cannot be directly used to prove the validity of the questions on this site.
What to do after your first test
Read the four dimensions first, then look at the overall type; pay attention to intermediate scores and responses that are inconsistent with your own experience. Keep an observation that helps you and test it with actual experience over the next week.
