What is 16personalities?

16personalities is a popular free personality assessment test and resource website based on Jung and Briggs Myers typology. It aims to make personality theory accessible to a wider audience through a free personality test. The test categorizes personality types into 16 types based on 5 traits - Mind, Energy, Nature, Tactics and Identity.

The test provides users with a detailed personality report which includes an overview of their personality type (analytic, confident, turbulent etc), strengths and weaknesses, romantic partnerships, friendships, parenthood, workplace habits and career suggestions. The report provides advice on how to leverage strengths and compensate weaknesses.

The website also contains detailed descriptions of the 16 personality types along with famous people matching those types. It has forums for people of each type to discuss type-related topics. There are more than 500 career listings matched to each personality type.

While the test is free and useful for self-discovery, the science behind it is debated. The 5 traits it uses are proprietary and not recognized in academic personality models. The career suggestions may also be too generalized. But overall it is an easy and popular way to get started understanding personality types.
