The social, personality testing platform
I'm a sucker for these things.
I think people should be cautious adopting prescribed personality titles, but well-researched tests can give people languages and a better understanding of themselves.
@rrhoover completely agree re: labels. There's a paradox of human psychology where we simultaneously want to feel a sense of belonging and a sense of uniqueness. The reality is we are all incredibly unique and can't be reduced to a set of letters or colors, but at the same time there are patterns of behavior and personality that seem to persist across cultures and time.
We try to address this by incorporating both a top-down and bottom-up model of personality. Dimensional measures people across nearly 200 traits (and 10 dimensions of personality). It's kind of like 23 and Me for personality. But we also give people top-down archetypes of their personality across contexts like work, love, and core identity. The idea is that these archetypes are a foot-in-the-door and give users a sense of belonging and understanding for some of their patterns of behavior and cognition, but they can dig deeper into their traits as well.
