The INTROVERT/EXTROVERT Test

1. I bet you cant figure out what this test is about :0 this test was taken from http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/whatamilike/static_quiz.shtml * This test is 20 questions long and should take about 10 minutes * It is made up of four sets of five questions and you will find out about a different aspect of your personality after every five questions * At the end of the test you will be assigned one of 16 possible personality types * This personality test can't tell you exactly what you are like. No survey can predict personality type with 100 % accuracy. Experts say we should use personality type descriptions to better understand ourselves and others, but shouldn't feel restricted by our results * The test was developed for the television programme 'What Am I Like? The Personality Test' * It is a simplified personality test based on personality type theory, devised by psychologists * It is not a replacement for the full Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® questionnaire and the results are not intended to be the psychometric or practical equivalent to MBTI® questionnaire results
