Each of the tests below take less than 30 minutes and will give you an insight into your work personality, helping you to understand your career options better. The only catch is that you are required to supply some basic information and an email address. This is to verify the demographics of those participating and the details are not passed on to a third party.

The Myers Briggs type indicator - abridged test
This MTR-iç team roles questionnaire is based on the widely respected Myers Briggs Type indicator, which identifies you as one of 16 specific personality types. The MTR-iç website provides a comprehensive insight into each of these personality types. When you have completed the questionnaire please pay careful attention to collating the results. A pop up window will appear with four pairs of results, and your personality type is determined by combining the first letter of the dominate trait in each pair (e.g. INTJ or ESPN). Note that two of the traits begin with the letter I, therefore use the letter N for the trait referred to as 'intuition'. Although it is a little confusing to find an end result, this personality test is the most comprehensive report freely available on the web.
