The 16 Personality Types Test: What It Measures and Your Score

Inspired by Carl Jung's typology popularised by the MBTI indicator, this test situates your personality across 4 fundamental axes: the source of energy (Extraversion / Introversion), the way you perceive information (Sensing / Intuition), your decision-making mode (Thinking / Feeling) and your relationship to organisation (Judging / Perceiving). The combination gives one of the 16 types. This test is not the official MBTI (a registered trademark) but an independent assessment based on the same Jungian dimensions. You can also discuss this in Psy Lounge, a voice space run by a CBT-trained AI.

In the article that follows, I explore personality types. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed a 16 personality types test that helps you take stock of your personality profile. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results. I also wrote a book on this subject, Your Thoughts Don’t Have to Run Your Life, if you would like to go further.

What the test measures

• A tendency to draw energy from the outer world (Extraversion) or from your inner world (Introversion).
• Favouring concrete facts and the present (Sensing) or ideas, possibilities and meaning (Intuition).
• Deciding mainly through logic and objectivity (Thinking) or through values and human impact (Feeling).
• Preferring structure, plans and settled decisions (Judging) or flexibility and openness (Perceiving).

Take the test: 16 Personality Types → — The test situates your profile on the 4 Jungian axes to reveal which of the 16 types matches you.

How to read your score

The result reads as an intensity, not as a diagnosis:

• Weakly marked profile: The measured tendencies are weak or balanced.
• Nuanced profile: Moderate tendencies emerge along the different axes.
• Well-defined profile: Clear tendencies structure the way you function.
• Strongly defined profile: Dominant, highly structuring tendencies stand out.
