Top 10 Personality Tests on the Web

Psychological tests aren’t magic; however, they are fun tools for assessing and evaluating our character traits on the magical journey of self-exploration. With so many personality tests on the net, at best they are fun but far from accurate. Selecting just ten online tests that are both fun to do and accurate in personality assessment still meant a lot of research and was a time consuming process. But here are the results. Have fun!

1. Youniverse – Your Visual DNA

   I found this to be the most inspiring and fun test of all, as it is a means of understanding emotions through images. However, the idea behind Youniverse is more than a personality test. It is a doorway to online network with an ambitious concept, based on harnessing the power of your innate personality and applying it to your social networking activities and online shopping. Whether or not you join the Youniverse community, the test itself is worth taking. It is easy and enjoyable because all of the choices are represented by beautiful, inspiring images. After the test is finished, you get a nice little widget of your visual DNA to display on your webpage or blog. This is what mine looks like:

4. Myers-Briggs Typology Tests

   Based on the sixteen Myers-Briggs types are among the most popular, since the system measures surface traits and the system was designed to accomodate a test. It is recommended you take several of them, over a period of time, for the best accuracy. Here is a selection of the most popular ones.

5. Socionics Type Assistant

   Socionics was founded mainly by the Lithuanian researcher Aushra Augustinavichute in the 1970s and is now evolving rapidly. It is similar to Myers-Briggs tests in that it is based upon the sixteen different personality types. The main advantage of Socionics is the Intertype Relations theory. Based on a person’s psychological type, it is now possible to anticipate development in human relationships with incredible accuracy. This makes it a very powerful tool when dealing with problems in relationships.

8. Musical Visual Intelligence

   AMVI (Associative Musical Visual Intelligence) is a logic test that attempts to measure one’s ability to correlate musical phrases with abstract shapes and symbols. Created by Jake Mandell, MD, music and neuro-imaging researcher, the test is purposefully made very hard, so even trained musicians rarely score above 90% correct. However, no musical training is required to take the test.
