Re: The Big Five personality test

Both can be useful but MBTI says practically nothing about the emotional stability (neuroticism) element and seems to be less elaborative in general, I don't think 16 different labels is nearly enough to cover every type of person and is not a realistic aim to begin with. Doing the test 4 times over...

The Big Five personality test

I personally did the version of the test on http://www.understandmyself.com ($8 with code "h3h3") because I love the work Dr. Jordan B. Peterson has been doing and wanted to give back in a way but you can also do (mostly) the same test on a number of other sites for free (though the result...
