Free Online Personality Test

“There’s only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that’s your own self.” — Aldous Huxley

Introduction To The Free Online Personality Test

We have developed a simple and free online personality test that takes the best of what others offer. With our team and network of professionals, we have tried, tested and broken every test there is from Myers Briggs through to DISC, iDISC, PCM, Big Five and more.

Our analytics show that 86% of people want to take the 60 second test first… then look at the theory later. So let’s get straight to it.

Background To The Free Online Personality Test

Mind Craft and everything we do focuses on three things:

1. Reading people
2. Predicting people
3. Influencing both people and situations positively

In reality, it’s all about influence and the first two are just tools to get us there. The free online personality test is a key tool in reading and predicting people. In a recent survey of Fortune 500 c-level executives, 73% of leaders rated “the ability to positively influence others” as the top quality they look for in a successor or new executive hire. 78% of leaders surveyed named Influence as the one characteristic they would most like to develop in themselves. How important is Influence to you?

How To Use The Online Personality Test To Influence People

Working with a broad network of psychology professionals and our own experience consulting with and delivering communications/sales training for the world’s largest companies, we have developed the following high-level approach.

– Read people to understand their personality and how they communicate
– Predict their behaviour based on their personality
– Communicate effectively to encourage the behaviour we want and avoid counter-productive behaviour

Personality and communication are key to everything we do. To know how to communicate we need to understand personality.

One of the most important tools in this process is the personality test. There are many of them out there and no doubt you are familiar with some. You have probably used several… from entertaining ones in leisure magazines to frivolous ones on Facebook to “serious” tests in the workplace.

We have researched over 40 personality tests, placing extreme focus on 12 of the leaders. Our tests are the results of original research conducted and validated by a team of clinical psychologists and psychoanalysts. Furthermore they are fully approved and licensed by the The Personality Institute, one of the world’s leading independent authorities on the use of psychometrics in the public and private sector.

What Is Psychometrics?

Psychometrics is the field of study concerned with the theory and technique of psychological measurement, which includes the measurement of knowledge, abilities, attitudes, and personality traits.

The field is primarily concerned with the study of differences between individuals. It involves two major research tasks, namely: (i) the construction of instruments and procedures for measurement; and (ii) the development and refinement of theoretical approaches to measurement.

How Is The Personality Test Composed?

The test distills what we believe to be the best from the hundreds of years of scientific theory and the other tests out there. We focus on the science and remover the pseudoscience where possible. More on the testing we did is available here. And it was conducted with and is fully endorsed by the Personality Institute.

Unlike other tests, this focuses on the communication aspects of personality. The test focuses on:

1. A description of the personality
2. A description on how each personality communicates when
   • Initiating communication – we call Input
   • Reacts to communication – we call Output
3. A description of how best to communicate to get the most from this personality type
4. We also share examples of leaders and celebrities that share these traits. Not only is this fun, but we find it takes it out of the theoretical into the practical

So by this time you should have taken the test, seen your results and now you understand the thinking that has gone into creating the test. We would love to here your feedback on your personal results as well as your thoughts on this or other tests.
