Take the
Online Personality Tests
One of the most
interesting ways you can get to know
yourself is to find out how your brain
thinks. There are a number of famous, well
established tests that even large companies
use to hire executives! (Hint> These tests
can be awfully taxing on the brain! Don't
try to do all of them at one sitting.
You'll get better results if you do them at
different times or have a break in
activities.)
First:
Download the GENERAL score sheet to record your
results for all the tests. (It is also a
checklist to help keep you organized!)
Myers-Briggs
Second: The most famous of the
personality sorters is the
Myers-Briggs
test. By answering several questions about
how you usually like to do things, you'll be
identified as one of sixteen types of
personalities. You may have to ask your
teacher about some of the questions. If
you're really stuck, you can leave a few of
the questions unanswered. The test will
still be reliable.
Myers-Briggs identifies
personality types with 4 letters, such as
ENTP or ISFJ. Remember those letters! Most
people's Myers-Briggs rarely change
throughout their life. You can do a
Internet search for your Myers-Briggs letter
combination to get more
