ABC's of Personal Growth

This personal growth site is dedicated to giving psychology help today to those of average mental health for accomplishing as much therapy/personal-improvement as possible.

All About You

A five-dimensional scale used to determine one's personality along the OCEAN model:  Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeability, and Neuroticism.  Added twist:  you can rate someone else at the same time you take the test (or two people can take the test together and get a mutual analysis).  

AllHealth Online Psych Tests Page

Online Psych gives you a variety of interactive tests, quizzes, and surveys to challenge, inform, intrigue, and educate you. You'll find everything from online screening tests for mental health issues to fun surveys about relationships.

Ansir for One

This test is one of the most extensive I've seen.   When I first took it, I was highly impressed by its accuracy, depth, and insight.  The entire process of taking Ansir for One is a highly rewarding and enlightening experience.   Do give them a try.

The Balance Diagnostic

The Balance Diagnostic determines how balanced you are between your work and your personal life; an important measure in overall lifestyle and job satisfaction.

Braintricks:  The Inner Dummy

From the "Battling the Inner Dummy" book by David Weiner, this is a set of three tests measuring your relationship to Power, Sex, and Relationships.

The Color Quiz

Based on the theory proposed by Dr. Max Luscher, the Color Quiz tests your personality by having you choose in descending order what particular colors you like.  Two tests are run, each 2 minutes apart, and the results are compared to form the final analysis.

The Charisma Quotient

How charismatic are you?  Charisma, or "personal appeal", is a large portion of personality.  Find out where you score on each of the dimensions of Charisma, and what improvements (if any) are recommended.

DISCus Personality Profiler

(Downloadable)

Available from Axiom Software.  This site allows you to download the DISCus Personality Profiler, gives information regarding the history of Personality Profiles, and gives supplemental information about DISCus.

Another site that uses the DISC system of personality profiling is Personality Insights.  They have a range of services for people and industries using personality testing, as well as training and development for those who want to become personality evaluators.

Emode

An extensive test site on the Internet, Emode has the additional benefit of allowing you to sign up for a free account and to save (bookmark) your favorite tests there so that you can easily find them.  Tests include those on Relationships, Career, Personality, and Health.  Tests are also rated as to length, mood (funny vs. serious), and those that have been Ph.D. sanctioned. 

Feiger-Vos Online Personality Test

I'm not sure about this one.  Some of the questions seem "iffy" at best, but it is an intriguing concept.  Results are hand-graded and returned via e-mail.  Since I just took the test, I haven't gotten the results yet.  If they can come up with an accurate analysis from the questions they asked, I will be very interested in looking further into this instrument.

The Freak Test

This is, actually, a very interesting test to take.  It seeks to measure to what extent you have the need to be unique, non-conformist, or exhibit nonconventional behaviors. The higher you score, the bigger "freak" you are, although I think "non-conformist" would have been a better term.

Are you in Free Fall?

How free of a spirit are you?  Can you just "let yourself go" with ease, or are you uptight?  Find out here.

Hale Online Test

A VERY quick-and-dirty analysis of one's MBTI category (only four responses!)  Great for those who have never taken the MBTI or Kiersey Test, and would like a rough approximation of their Type.

Implicit Association Tests

These are a series of assessments used to evaluate your basic attitudes toward various social groups, including those of age, race, and gender.  The results can be quite surprising, and may even be disturbing for some.  Well worth taking.

The Intergalactic Explorer Test

Here's a fun test for all of you who are into Sci-Fi, Star Trek, Star Wars, and other futuristic settings.  Very much like the Kingdomality test which measures your personality as a medieval denizen, the Intergalactic Explorer Test measures your personality as a likely role on an Intergalactic Star Ship in the 23rd century or so.  Find out if you would be a "First Officer," "Entrepreneur" (like the Ferengi, no doubt), "Engineer" (think Scotty on Star Trek), "Sergeant", "Scientist", among others.

The Kiersey Temperment Sorter.

An MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) based test, this personality assessment is based upon Jung's Archetypal theory.  I came out to be an "ENFP", if anyone wants to look that up on this site.  This test is a lot of fun, but is seriously used in industry and hiring practices as well.  It appears to have a considerable amount of validity.

Kiersey Temperment Sorter in Spanish.
Kiersey Temperment Sorter in German.

Kiersey Character Sorter

Very much like the Kiersey Temperament Sorter that everyone is so familiar with, the Keirsey Character Sorter is a more intensive examination of the four character types: NT, NF, ST, and SJ, without regards to Extraversion or Introversion.  This test also indicates the full variant MBTI type.

The Kingdomality Test.

My personal favorite!  This personality test determines what your role would have been during the Middle Ages, based upon answers you give to the questions asked.  Last time I took the test, I came out to be a "Benevolent Ruler".  The test is very insightful, and a lot of fun to take.

The Life Colors Test 

This is a simple 20-question test that places you in one of four quadrants:  blue, yellow, red, and green.  Depending upon your answers, you are classified by how you react to problems, situations, and people.  Fun to take and easy to understand.

The Lovelace Tests

The Lovelace Tests are several short tests developed by Dr. Lovelace to determine your basic wellness in both a physical and psychological realm.  Measuring stress,tension, and other health-depriving behaviors and characteristics, these tests may aid in determining if you are in need of some medical or therapeutic assistance. There are six tests in all at this site, as far as I know.

The Mapping of Rules (MOR) Assessment

The Mapping of Rules (MOR) Assessment is a unique instrument measuring to what degree we adhere to unspoken, subconscious "rules" followed by our families.  Take it and see to what degree your family's unspoken rules influenced your, or still influences you, to this day.  Requires that you be painfully honest.

The Marksman Personality Test

The Marksman test costs $21 to take, although it is an online forms-scored test.  It's designed to measure job/occupational compatibility and one's personality.  I haven't taken this one, so caveat emptor.

NumberQuest.

NumberQuest is a personality assessment based upon Numerology.  This ancient art purports to determine a person's personality, strengths, talents, and weaknesses and potential threats based upon their birth name and date.  This type of test would normally fall under the "New-Age" category, but it performed extremely well at profiling me when I took it.  Try it out and see what you think.

Personal Learning Styles Inventory

Researchers are finally discovering that success or failure in school may be highly dependent on one's personal learning style, and whether the needs generated by that style are being met.  Determine your method of learning, and how you can get it to work for you.

The Platinum Rule.

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Thus says the Golden Rule, which may seem rather naive, since every one is unique in their likes, dislikes, and desires. The Platinum Rule states "Do unto others as they would like done unto them." This site analyzes one's personality on four basic behavior types, and how you can use your behavior type to apply the Platinum Rule.  You can also analyze someone else here as well, other than yourself.

The Profiler Personality Test

A test that may be used by employers and employees both.  This assessment may aid in determining employee strengths and weaknesses in possible career positions.

The Profnet Personality Test

The Profnet Personality test is a profile of your personality strengths and weaknesses in developing stronger business relationships.  Although the test may give very good results, Profnet does not encourage you to take the test unless you wish to become part of a networking mailing list:

"This profile is used to help business professionals develop stronger business relationships.  Persons taking this profile will be added to a mailing list to receive information on how to improve networking skills to increase revenue.  Those not wishing to be added to such a list SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS PROFILE. "
You have been warned. 

Psychological Test

This test is very, very easy.  Just pick the shape out of 9 that most appeals to you, and read what it says about your temperment.  No feelings to get hurt here; everything is very positive.  I don't know what degree of validity this instrument has.

Richard Pearman's Personality Test

This is an experimental personality type test, in the sense that it's been designed to test a theory to  predict statistical difference between the sexes.   Based, yet again, on the MBTI archetypes.

The Room

I never thought I would say this.  A Maykorner-like personality test with artistic flair, surrealistic ambiance, and a unique analysis of your personality.  DEFINITELY check this site out, if for nothing else, the artistic and metaphoric qualities.

The Sales Personality Inventory

This is a new test developed by Cyberia Shrink (famous on the web for her Body-Mind Queendom psychological and health-related site.  This is an excellent test geared to measure how effective a salesperson you would be, basedon several personality traits.  The inventory takes about 30 minutes to take, and the results are scored online, as all of Cyberia's tests are. 

The Symbol Test

Fairly simple test.  Choose 2 out of 5 symbols in order of preference, then look to see what your personality type is.  Gender-biased toward female respondents.  Available courtesy of World Transformation Network.

The Techno Personality Test

Having left the 'Web for a period of time, the Techno Personality Test has returned, albeit in a paper-and-pencil version.  This test measures how your personality relates to technology and strengths and weaknesses you may have in relating to technology both at home and in the workplace.

The Toxic Organization Test

Is your job stunting your personal growth and expression?  Is your relationship with your boss and / or co-workers hostile or non-productive?  Determine, with the help of this assessment, if you work in a psychologically "toxic" environment.

Type Dynamics of London

Type Dynamics of London is a Professional Jungian Counseling Consortium, specializing in personality analysis and career development counseling.  You can arrange to take the full Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) with them, along with other excellent personality and career analysis tests.

The Kabbalerian Test: What's in Your Name?

A fascinating site that lets you determine your personality based upon the energies inherent in your first name.    I was pretty skeptical at first, especially when I sincerely doubted my real first name would be located here.    Imagine my surprise when it was . . . and when the analysis of the name was uncannily accurate! Check out this site and see how close your name fits.    I have a feeling, that if your name is not up there, e-mail the Kabbalerians and they'll probably provide it for you.
