Personality Tests

This site is a directory of free personality and other tests for your enjoyment. Plus information about personality tests, and a blog. I aim it to be the most comprehensive list of information on the web. New features will be added over time. Note that some are experiments and others offer you a paid extra test as well.

Here's one to start with - Start your Personal Development now!

History

Personality tests were invented just after World War I by U.S. psychologists- the idea was to screen out recruits who were easily traumatised by shell shock- also known as Combat Stress Reaction- a condition first diagnosed by Russians after the Russo Japanese war of 1904-1905. World War I saw a very high rate of Shell Shock - a few unfortunate soldiers were executed for 'cowardice' which was a severe case of shell shock. Nowadays Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a recognised condition.

Nowadays the internet offers many free ones and this site will kep indexing them as they come. I've tried to cover the major personality testing methodologies such as myers briggs, enneagrams, disc, soicionics etc with links on each page.
