highly sensitive power

To continue from the last article’s theme of hidden dimensions, how about uncovering more of your own facets? Online personality tests make self-discovery easy. Clarify what you already know about yourself. Thrill to new revelations. But, above all, have fun. You can always ignore any results that don’t make sense for you. No one is hovering nearby with a pen and a clipboard.

The links below lead to free tests that provide instant results.

Similar Minds provides enough tests to keep even the most die-hard self-explorer busy for hours.

Eclectic Energies’ Eneagram test offers two options: the classical test and the test with instinctual variant included. Use the instinctual variant option for information about your instinctual subtype.

The Art Institute of Vancouver offers a Right Brain vs. Left Brain Creativity Test. The short introduction to the test makes it clear that the Art Institute is biased toward a result of Left Brain, but don’t let that stop you from loving your own honest results – the world needs all kinds of brains.

Human Metrics offers online personality, relationship, and entrepreneurship tests, including the Myers-Briggs test (which they sometimes call a Jung typology test).

Strengths Finder 2.0 is the exception in this list of otherwise free tests. The Strength Finder test was developed by the Gallup Poll folks to help people uncover their top five natural talents. They contend that focusing on developing natural strengths results in much greater success than trying to develop weaknesses. The price of the test is the cost of the (small) book, StrengthsFinder 2.0. The insights, for me, have been well worth the price, to the point that they were instrumental in my decision to start this website, which provides me with limitless joy. It feels fabulous to focus on what I naturally love to do. I wish the same for you.
