There are several
ways you can go about in order to find out which type/temperament you
are:
1. Take David Keirsey's
Temperament Sorter II or Character sorter
This is probably
the most practical and convenient choice for most people. Keirsey's
tests can be taken online.
2. Take Terence
Duniho's DDLI
quiz
Duniho has created
a software quiz program that presents a series of personality-related
questions; for each question you are asked to rate the "strength"
of your response. DDLI's reliability hasn't been studied, although
most people would agree that it does a pretty good job.
You will have
to download and install DDLI to take the test.
3. Have the Myers-Briggs
Type Indicator™ (paper-version) test administered to you by
a person qualified to interpret the test results.
Some would say
this is the most reliable option of all, though of course the MBTI™
test, like all psychological tests, is not perfect. Having a qualified
MBTI™ instructor on hand to interpret the results is valuable
though, since it isn't uncommon for people to be mis-typed, so to
speak.
The Association
for Psychological Type (APT) offers referrals to trained professionals
who are qualified to administer the MBTIŽ assessment. APT is online
at: www.aptcentral.org.
