Personality Test Descriptions

Distinct Traits test

The Distinct Traits test explores your profile across 32 individual personality traits, rather than reducing it to a single type. The system is designed to measure sufficiently independent traits across a broad range of personality.

Your results show a score for each trait, with descriptions and a ranking of your traits by score.

MOTIVES test

The MOTIVES test uses 45 statements to explore seven core personality drives: materialism, originality, thinking, interpersonal orientation, vitality, relaxation and group loyalty.

Your results show where you fall on each dimension, from Materialistic to Ascetic, Offbeat to Conventional, Thinking to Haphazard, Interpersonal to Withholding, Vital to Depressive, Easygoing to Rigid, and Sectarian to Globalistic.

ALLinONE tests

Using correlation data, the ALLinONE test efficiently yields five personality test results: MOTIVES, Jung (similar to Myers-Briggs), Personality Disorder, Enneagram and Career, as well as additional personality insights to be added periodically.

Enneagram tests

The Enneagram is a nine-factor personality system with many historical influences. The nine factors are orderliness, helpfulness, image focus, hypersensitivity, detachment, caution, adventurousness, strength and calmness.

Jung tests

These tests are based on the work of Carl Jung, David Keirsey, Isabel Myers and Katherine Briggs. They are similar in underlying theory to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter. They measure four bipolar factors:

• Introversion / Extroversion
• Thinking / Feeling
• Intuition / Sensing
• Judging / Perceiving

Big Five tests

The Big Five is a widely researched personality model. It is composed of five factors: open-mindedness, conscientiousness, agreeableness, emotional stability and extroversion. The factor names vary a little among authors.

Right-left brain tests

These questionnaires explore preferences traditionally described as right-brain or left-brain styles. Their results describe questionnaire responses, rather than directly measuring brain activity or establishing dominance in one hemisphere.

Other personality tests

Personality Disorder Test

This test is based on the 10 DSM-IV personality disorders. It is not a clinical diagnosis.

Eysenck Personality Test

Based on the personality theory of pioneering theorist Hans Eysenck, this test covers three factors: extraversion, neuroticism and psychoticism.

Cattell 16 Factor Test

Based on the work of Raymond Cattell, another personality research pioneer.

Compatibility tests

Multi-user tests require two or more people to respond to receive results, with an option to email the test. Single-user tests are self-reporting: you provide answers for yourself and the person whose compatibility you want to assess.

• Multi-user Enneagram Test
• Single-user Enneagram Test
• Single-user Jung Test
• Single-user Big Five Test
