Self Assessment
-
Myers-Briggs and similar tests and information:
- Bloginality: If you have never done a Myers-Briggs test before, this is a good one to do first. Instead of asking a series of questions that deduce the type, it directy asks you to choose between descriptions of the dichotomies (without identifying them as such).
- Humanmetrics
- Similarminds
- Sonja's Personality Test
- Eggheadcafe.com -- This one seems to have disappeared.
- Jungian Cognitive Functions and Personality Dichotomies
- If you are interested in finding your "learning sytle", you can try Index of Learning Styles Questionnaire. But realize this: While evidence supports the idea that people have preferences for the style of learning material, the idea that being presented material in your "preferred" format will help you to learn better than otherwise is widely debunked. See for example: Massa, L.J. and Mayer, R.E., "Testing the ATI hypothesis: Should multimedia instruction accommodate verbalizer-visualizer cognitive style?", Learning and Individual Differences 16, 4(2006).
