Thereās loads here. Iām looking for one big one thatāll cover everything and give me a final report either by e-mail or there on the screen (free though ;))

Try [http://www.personalitypage.com](http://www.personalitypage.com) You might also want to check out the demographic information on the political affiliations of various temperaments. Itās pretty interesting.
Or [http://www.advisorteam.com/user/kts.asp](http://www.advisorteam.com/user/kts.asp) This one asks for an annoying registration at the beginning, but it strikes me as the more āofficialā of the two.

Thanx. Iāll have a look at thoseāexcept i donāt like registering if i donāt have to so that one might have to be given a miss.

[Keisey.com](http://Keisey.com) is great. Most of the pay sites use a slightly modified of the tests available for free there.

Ahem.
The General Questions answer to this question is that there is no good web-based personality quiz, and that anyone who would rely on such a thing to classify his or herself has no personality to speak of.
If you want opinions, IMHO is the place for you. Iāll shoot the thread over there.

The Keirsey test is excellent, having taken it myself and had compatriots use it also.
There are many good personality tests on the web, but the best one of all, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Interpreter (MMPI) is the best, used by professionals. I doubt if you will find it on the web because itās about 500 questions long. You can order it through psychiatric journals or testing sites. The thing can take several hours to complete.
Iāve found almost all serious personality tests on the web to be quite good. Your best bet is to take and print the results from several to give you a complete, well mostly, personality profile.
Like take one for love, then one for that is more business based, one dealing with your interaction with others and so on.
Type in free personality tests in your search engine and pick what you want.

I went to ansir, took the test, and was at first quite impressed. It asked some good questions, and seemed fairly thorough. However, it gave me such **vastly** inappropriate results, that I wonder if it scores correctly.

I was impressed with Ansir too, including the results. Other tests Iāve taken have been so-so; this one, despite one or two, āno, sorry, thatās not meā moments, is so right itās scary.
