About this test

What is the 16 Personality Types Test?

The 16 Personality Types Test is an original My Inner self-assessment that places your answers along four personality dimensions (extraversion–introversion, sensing–intuition, thinking–feeling and judging–perceiving) and results in one of 16 personality types. It is designed for self-reflection and personal growth. It is not a diagnosis, clinical instrument or standardized psychological test, and it cannot replace advice from a qualified professional.

16 Personality Types Test: frequently asked questions

How many personality types are there in this test?

The test results in one of 16 types, formed by combining a preference on each of four dimensions: extraversion or introversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving.

Is this the same as the Myers-Briggs test?

No. It is an original My Inner assessment. The 16-type approach grew out of Carl Jung’s ideas about psychological types, but this test is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the owners of any other personality instrument.

How accurate is an online personality test?

Short self-report tests reflect how you see yourself on the day you answer. They can be a useful prompt for reflection, but they are not precise measurements, and results can change with mood, context and honesty. Treat your type as a starting point, not a label.

Can I retake the test?

Yes, you can retake it from your account. Many people find their result is similar over time but not identical, especially if their situation has changed.
