Personality Metrics
An assortment of personality metrics I’ve collected over the years. I don’t necessarily endorse the validity of any of these beyond the Big Five and the Enneagram—a few are provably invalid—but they’re something of a special interest of mine, and I have always enjoyed seeing the different ways we try to categorise ourselves and others. Incidentally, if you’ve made a comprehensive page similar to this one, I would be interested in seeing it.
Enneagram
My favourite system, and the only one that I think is truly life-transforming if you work to understand it and use it correctly. I've never seen a system implement the motion of how people develop better.

MBTI
The image above will take you to the ever-famous 16Personalities profile of the ENTP, though I like PersonalityMax’s profile a little more. The Myers-Briggs Company now has their own online profile as well, alongside these delightful, if thoroughly vapid, shareables:
Astrological Chart
This is just for fun. Astrology is the only entry here that has no validity whatsoever, but it’s both popular and, admittedly, fun in its own “watching a terrible, campy movie and enjoying it despite yourself” kind of way.My Co-Star profile will interpret the above nonsense into its “meaning” for you.
HEXACO
A system based on an expanded Big Five by personality researchers. It manages to be more interesting but less validated, so it comes out about even. To my knowledge, there’s not a more elegant display/summarisation of the HEXACO than just the raw results of the HEXACO-PI-R.

Big Five/SLOAN
SLOAN: RLUAI
SLOAN+: xLUa|I|
Full results from Personality Assessor.
The most researched and validated metric, though also the most… uninteresting? It is undoubtedly useful for the academic purposes it was designed for, but it describes a very static image of the you that you were when you took it, with no interpretation or “motion” provided (or even possible).
Attitudinal Psyche
FLEV: The Alchemist
1F-4: Standby Subtype
2L-1: Follow-me Subtype
3E-4: Trivial Subtype
4V-3: Repellent Subtype
MOTIVES
(Lighter text is the average of all answers from others.)MOTIVES is another Big Five-esque system from the SimilarMinds.com team. Currently, no individual profiles, though they do still give a type.MOTIV type: MOHXDEG
MOTIV+: MO|H|xDeG
Temperaments
Primary: Melancholic.
Secondary: Sanguine.
Combination: Melancholy-Sanguine.The last site, Four Temperaments, is trying to charge $75 for a full profile on these. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d find an assessment site run by bigger grifters than the Myers-Briggs Company, but charging that much money for bloodletting-era traits presents a strong contender for the title.
