WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Type Identifier Test - Symptoms and Signs

personality type

This self-report measure is intended to provide a brief snapshot of personality type preferences, based on forced-choice comparisons. The Type Identifier presents paired statements designed to elicit relative preferences that may be used to inform an initial typology hypothesis.

The instrument includes 24 items and typically requires about 5 minutes to complete. Results are best interpreted as provisional and should be integrated with additional clinical information (e.g., interview data, behavioral observations, and contextual factors), given the known limitations of brief questionnaire-based typing.

Although it is sometimes attributed to Isabel Briggs Myers and Katharine C. Briggs, the Type Identifier should be used as an exploratory aid rather than a standalone basis for classification or decision-making.
