16Personalities

The 16Personalities Test is a form of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test. It measures your personality type across a spectrum of different characteristics:

Introversion – Extroversion

Observant – Intuitive

Thinking – Feeling

Judging – Prospecting

They also provide an Identity (Assertive – Turbulent)

My personality type is an INFP -A or Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Prospecting – Assertive. They call it the Mediator and it is in the Diplomat group.

Here is a quote from their website, “Mediators have a talent for self-expression, revealing their beauty and their secrets through metaphors and fictional characters.”

The Enneagram Test

The Enneagram Test is also another way for you to test your personality. For the Enneagram Test, there are 9 different personalities types. People that have the same type of personality have similar characteristics, though you can have characteristics in any of the 9 different personalities. There are also 3 different subtypes called Instinctual Variants (self-preservation instinct, sexual, and social).

For this test, I am Type 9 – The Peacemaker with a Type 1 (The Reformer) wing (meaning that I have many traits in this type too) and the Self-Preservation instinct variant.
