Personality test
The TypeFinder is a scientifically validated personality type assessment based upon the theories of Isabel Briggs Myers. The TypeFinder leverages modern technology and innovative assessment techniques to provide you with an accurate, user-friendly tool to assess the personality type of your clients, employees and team members.
Uses for the Briggs Myers’ 16-type system
There’s a reason that organizations around the world, from startups to Fortune 500 companies, use personality type assessments based on Briggs Myers’ 16 types. This system of personality classification is simple enough to introduce in a 1-hour training workshop, yet versatile enough to guide a range of development activities—from leadership training to team-building sessions to conflict resolution communication workshops.
4 dimensions of personality
The TypeFinder assesses a user’s preferred style on each of the four dimensions of personality type:
-
- Extraversion or Introversion: how do you manage your energy?
-
- Sensing or Intuition: how do you process information?
-
- Thinking or Feeling: how do you prioritize personal and group values?
-
- Judging or Perceiving: how do you organize your life?
Based on a user’s response pattern the TypeFinder determines which personality style is preferred and scores the user’s four-letter personality type code.

- Sensing or Intuition: how do you process information?
- Thinking or Feeling: how do you prioritize personal and group values?
- Judging or Perceiving: how do you organize your life?
Your results on each dimension are combined to create your four-letter type code, for example INTP or ESFJ.
