Personality Types - YOUR PERSONALITY TYPE TEST
by Life Positive
To determine your personality type, answer the 12 questions in each section. The first seven questions only have to be ticked because they are choices about which of the five occupations and two leisure activities (or something similar) might interest you if you had the necessary skills. Here, for every tick add one point. The Yes and No come in for the last five questions only. Here, a Yes is one point and No is zero points. In that way, you can score between zero and 12 in each section.
