Reliable online personality test

esperanza

I'm looking for reliable online personality tests, Keirsey or Jung, the ones that tell you whether you are ENFP or ISTJ, for example.

I've done a few tests and got different scores, quite significant in some cases.

If anyone could point me in the direction of a professional personality test, I'd be very grateful.:)

There are no reliable personality tests available online. The same way there are no reliable online doctors.

Personality testing is a career, a job. There is a massive literature. You really need to understand a lot about psychometric testing to make much sense of the tests.

If you really want to find out more, try reading some of the Eysenck personality books and tests. They are terrible in many ways but not complete rubbish.

Who told you that the tests you mentioned were 'reliable'?

Don't take any of this stuff about personality testing on the Internet too seriously, it's good for fun, but not for much else.

Really, no reliable tests at all. That's funny, i've come across some good ones, can't find them again though.

Okay, but wouldnt if just be easier to ask some reliable mates that know you well what your personality is. Online personality test, jaysus & i thought tarrot cards were bad. I dont think any exist that could be even 70% accurate...but whatever ur into.
