Inspired by Carl Jung's typology popularized by the MBTI indicator, this test maps your personality on 4 core axes: energy source (Extraversion / Introversion), information processing (Sensing / Intuition), decision-making (Thinking / Feeling) and structure (Judging / Perceiving). The combination yields one of 16 types. This is not the official MBTI (a registered trademark) but an independent assessment based on the same Jungian dimensions.
What the test measures
- Drawing energy from the outer world (Extraversion) vs the inner world (Introversion).
- Favoring concrete facts and the present (Sensing) vs ideas, possibilities and meaning (Intuition).
- Deciding mainly by logic and objectivity (Thinking) vs values and human impact (Feeling).
- Preferring structure, plans and closure (Judging) vs flexibility and openness (Perceiving).
How to interpret your score
Your result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:
- Lightly marked profile : Measured tendencies are weak or balanced.
- Nuanced profile : Moderate tendencies emerge across axes.
- Defined profile : Clear tendencies structure your functioning.
- Strongly defined profile : Dominant, highly structuring tendencies stand out.
