The word personality originates from the Latin word persona, referring to masks worn by theater performers to hide their identity or portray different roles.

Your persona, or personality, is unique to you. It’s a combination of the behaviors, emotions, thought patterns, and motivations that define us.

Research from the past few decades has pointed to the role of environment – including how we were raised – and our genetics in forming and shaping our personalities.

So, what is your personality?

Among your group of friends, are you considered the shy one who waits for others to make decisions?

Or, are you seen as the dominant one who is ready to take the lead?

Our personality test can help you find out your personality type. Answering these simple questions will give you a description of who you are and tell you how others see you.

Instructions

Answer each of the questions below honestly about yourself and we’ll score the quiz and let you know how others see you.

This online screening is not a diagnostic tool. Only a trained medical professional, like a doctor or mental health professional, can help you determine the next best steps for you.

Disclaimer: This quiz is for entertainment purposes only. In no way is this an empirically validated test. The concepts presented are not rooted in any known research.

Ready to start therapy? Our Find a Therapist resource may help.

10 serious psychological tests that can be taken on the Internet

January 26, 2021Life

Questionnaires used by practicing psychologists will help you look deep into yourself. The main thing is not to try to make a diagnosis “by profile picture”.

Share

1. Sondi test

The test is aimed at identifying psychological abnormalities. It consists of several stages. At each of them you will be shown portraits, from which you will need to choose the least and most pleasant in your opinion.

This testing method was developed by psychiatrist Leopold Szondi in 1947. The doctor noticed that in the clinic, patients communicated closer with those who had the same diseases. Of course, the Internet test will not give you a diagnosis - it will just help to detect some tendencies. Moreover, depending on the state of the psyche, the results will be different, so you can take the Szondi test in any incomprehensible situation.

2. Beck Depression Scale

As the name suggests, this test measures how depressed you are. It takes into account the common symptoms and complaints of patients with this disease. When answering each question, you have to choose the closest one from several statements.

The test is worth taking even for those who are absolutely sure that they are healthy. Some of the statements in the questionnaire may seem strange to you, but many of them are true for a person with a disease. So if you think that depression is when someone is depressed from idleness, it's time to rethink your attitude.

3. Zang (Zung) scale for self-assessment of depression

Another test related to depression. It is shorter and easier to understand than the previous questionnaire. If you like an integrated approach in everything and are not ready to be content with the results of one test, you can combine them.

The author of this test is psychiatrist William Zang, also known in Russian psychology as William Tsung.

4. Beck Anxiety Scale

The test allows you to assess the severity of various phobias, panic attacks and other anxiety disorders. The results are not very telling. They will only tell you if you have reason to be concerned or not.

You are to read 21 statements and decide how true they are for you.

5. Luscher color test

This test helps to assess the psychological state through the subjective perception of color. Everything is very simple: from several colored rectangles, you first choose those that you like more, and then those that you like less.

Based on the results of the Luscher test, a specialist will be able to give recommendations on how to avoid stress, but you just look deeper inside yourself.

Take the test →

6. Projective test "Cube in the Desert"

This test looks less serious than the previous ones, and it really is. It consists of fantasy exercises. Few questions, but the result is simple and clear.

You will be asked to present a series of images, and then they will give you an interpretation of what you were imagining. This test, most likely, will not discover America, but will simply introduce you to the real you once again.

Take the test →

7. Eysenck's temperament test

You have to answer 70 questions to find out whether you are choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic or melancholic. At the same time, the test determines the level of extraversion, so you can find out if you are an introvert or just temporarily tired of people.

Take the test →

8. Extended Leonhard-Shmishek test

The test helps to reveal personality traits. The final grade is set on several scales, each of which reveals one or another aspect. Separately, it is checked whether you sincerely answered questions or tried to be better than you really are.

Take the test →

9. Heck-Hess neurosis rapid diagnostic method

This scale will help determine the probability of neurosis. If it is high, then it may be worth contacting a specialist.

Take the test →

10. Hall's Emotional Intelligence Test

Emotional intelligence is a person's ability to recognize the moods and feelings of others. To evaluate it, psychologist Nicholas Hall came up with a 30-question test.

7 Useful Psychological Tests Developed by Scientists - The Knife

1. Rorschach Inkblots

Swiss psychiatrist and psychologist Hermann Rorschach developed a test based on the interpretation of inkblots of different colors: pastel red, gray and black. According to the researcher, colors, contours and shapes have a certain emotional impact on the subject and influence what he sees in the inkblot - an animal, a person, a fantastic creature or an inanimate object.

test subject's position.

If the image is seen primarily due to form, and not color, this is a sign of well-controlled emotionality, an indicator of the superiority of thought over feeling. On the contrary, if the subject first of all pays attention to color, emotions and affects predominate in him.

2. MMPI, or "SMIL test", 566 questions

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) was developed at the turn of the 1930s and 1940s of the last century. This technique, which is actively used in clinical practice, is based on comparing the responses of patients with the responses of patients with hypochondria, depression, hysteria, psychopathy, paranoia and other disorders.

In the USSR, the test was adapted to our realities at 1960s. The technique was called the "Standardized Multivariate Personality Study" - the SMIL test.

The multifactorial nature of the study requires an answer, for example, to questions such as: “Do you often have constipation?” and “Is your father a good person?” You will have to think carefully before agreeing or disagreeing with the statement "Sometimes for fun I scare people, because it is easy for me to make others afraid of myself." And in general, it's a lot of fun to take a test of 566 questions.

But it's worth spending time on it. As a result, we get a lot of details about ourselves, painted on a variety of scales - from a hypothetical addiction to alcoholism, the level of cynicism and escapism to "an organic lesion of the caudate nucleus" (the part of the brain responsible for movement).

SMIL test (MMPI) - by reference.

3. Szondi's test - a method of portrait choices

The founder of "fate analysis", the Hungarian and Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Leopold Szondi, developed a test with a human face - more precisely, with faces. The subject chooses the most / least attractive faces, and based on the choice, conclusions are drawn: for example, about a tendency to hysteria, depression, catatonic manifestations (motor disorders - stupor / arousal), etc.

Szondi created this test based on observations of patients (revealed a pattern - people with similar mental disorders communicate more readily) and the theory of inherited genotypic properties, according to which "an individual is drawn to his own kind. " Like plants growing in a certain way towards the earth's radius. And this is their - people and plants - fate, which you cannot figure out without "fate analysis".

4. Cattell multifactorial questionnaire, 187 questions

Method developed in the 1940s by the British and American psychologist Raymond Cattell. This is one of the first structural models of personality based on the "lexicographic approach" of psychologists Gordon Allport and H. S. Odbert. From their point of view, the most significant individual personality differences of the members of this or that society sooner or later become encoded in their language, in certain words.

Researchers dug through the most detailed dictionaries at the time, selected 18,000 words important for characterizing individuals, and extracted 4,500 adjectives from them that, in their opinion, described relatively stable personality traits.

Cattell, using a computer, reduced the list to 171 words by compiling a 16-factor personality questionnaire. In its standard version - 187 questions (16PF). There is an abbreviated version of 105 questions and options for children (8-12 years old and 12-16 years old).

Based on the results of the survey, we get a graph with a detailed description of the results by scales and factors. For example, factor A is a character trait in the "isolation / sociability" range. For a high value (A +) - from 5.5 to 10 - "naturalness, ease, readiness for cooperation, adaptability" is characteristic, for a low (A-) - from 1 to 5.5 - "isolation, criticality, tendency to rigidity , coldness, skepticism and aloofness - things attract more than people ... ”Intelligence, emotional stability / instability, introversion / extraversion, etc. are described similarly.

5. Ammon's Self-Structural Test, 220 questions

German psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Günter Ammon is one of the founders and leaders of dynamic psychiatry. His test reveals many details about personality, typing each of the characteristics into three kinds. For example, Ammon distinguishes the following types of aggression:

  • constructive - purposeful activity, the ability to maintain relationships and solve problems in a strong-willed way, actively build one's own life,
  • destructive misdirected, destructive to self and others, breaking relationships, devaluing others
  • deficient - withdrawal into oneself, lack of activity, indifference, avoidance of rivalry and constructive dispute, spiritual emptiness (according to Ammon, this is also aggression).

Anxiety or fear, remaining within constructive limits, helps to adequately perceive the situation and realistically assess the danger. Destructive fear overwhelms the psyche and paralyzes. Deficient - indicates that the protective function of the psyche and the regulation of behavior no longer serve the patient in good stead.

Günther Ammon also identifies constructive narcissism (adequate positive attitude towards oneself, recognition of one's weaknesses), destructive (unrealistically high self-esteem, inability to accept criticism) and deficient (lack of contact with oneself, statements, dependence on the opinions of others, rejection of one's own interests and needs).

6. Mendelevich's questionnaire, 68 questions

This test for determining neurotic states was invented in 1978 by psychiatrist David Mendelevich and medical psychologist Kausar Yakhin. There are 68 questions in the test that assess the state of the subject on six scales:
