Free Personality Type Test: Which of the 16 Types Are You?
Answer 40 quick statements (about five minutes) to find which of the 16 four-letter personality types fits you best — the same E/I, S/N, T/F and J/P letters used in MBTI-style typing — then see how you match with a partner in the MBTI compatibility calculator.
This is not the official MBTI® assessment and not a psychological diagnosis. Answer how you usually are, not how you would like to be. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere.

What the four letters mean
Your result is one letter from each of four pairs. Each pair describes a preference, the way being right- or left-handed does: you can do both, but one comes more naturally.
E / I — Extraversion or Introversion
Where your energy comes from. Extraversion answers say time with people leaves you charged and that you think out loud; Introversion answers say you recharge alone and work things through privately first.
S / N — Sensing or Intuition
What you pay attention to. Sensing leans on concrete facts, details, and what has worked before. Intuition leans on patterns, meaning, and what could happen next.
T / F — Thinking or Feeling
What you weigh first when you decide. Thinking puts logic and consistency first; Feeling puts values and the effect on people first. It does not measure how emotional or how rational you are.
J / P — Judging or Perceiving
How you like life arranged. Judging prefers plans settled and decisions closed; Perceiving prefers options open and room to adapt. It has nothing to do with being judgmental.
Put the four letters together and you get one of 16 types, such as INFJ or ESTP. To see how each letter changes the way two people get along, read the MBTI compatibility chart.
The 16 personality types
Each code opens a guide to that type and how it pairs with all 16. The short names are our own plain-language labels, not official ones.
How your result is scored
The test has 40 statements: 10 statements for each letter pair. You answer each one on a five-point scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree.
Within every pair, half of the statements are worded toward one letter and half toward the other. If you agree with everything, the two halves cancel out instead of pushing you one way.
Your answers are added up for each pair. The letter you leaned toward goes into your type, and the percentage next to it, from 50% to 100%, shows how strongly you leaned. A lean of 55% or less is marked “close to the middle”, which means either letter may describe you; an exact tie is shown as the second letter of the pair at 50%.

What to do with your type
- Read your type guide. Pick your code from the list above and check whether the description sounds like you on an ordinary day. If a letter came out close to the middle, read the neighbouring type as well.
- Check a pairing. Enter your type and your partner’s in the MBTI compatibility calculator for an overall score and a breakdown by relationship area.
- Ask your partner to take the test too. A type guessed from the outside is often wrong, and five minutes each gives the calculator better input.
- Treat it as a starting point. A type describes preferences, not skill, maturity, or how a relationship will turn out. Our scoring method explains what the compatibility numbers do and do not claim.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. MBTI® and Myers-Briggs® are registered trademarks of their respective owners, and this is not their assessment. Our questions are written by the MyCompatibility Editorial Team to estimate the same four preference letters (E/I, S/N, T/F, J/P) as a starting point for reflection.
Each of the 40 statements leans toward one letter of a pair, and half of each set is worded the other way so that agreeing with everything does not push you in one direction. Your answers are added up per pair, and the percentage shows how strongly they leaned.
That means your answers were balanced on that pair, so either letter could describe you. Read both type pages and choose the one that sounds more like you in everyday life.
No. A four-letter type is a vocabulary for preferences, not a clinical or scientific measurement, and it does not predict relationship success.
