Personality Type Indicator (PTI)

What is the Personality Type Indicator (PTI)?

The PTI is a personality assessment rooted in the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) framework. Grounded in Carl Jung’s theory of psychological types, it explores your preferences across four key dimensions:

  1. Extraversion (E) – Introversion (I)

  2. Sensing (S) – Intuition (N)

  3. Thinking (T) – Feeling (F)

  4. Judging (J) – Perceiving (P)

Your answers coalesce into one of 16 distinct personality types (e.g., INFP, ESTJ), each with characteristic behaviors, decision-making styles, and communication preferences. The tool is widely used for personal insight, team-building, career guidance, and improving interpersonal dynamics.


📝 How to Take the Assessment

  • Time required: Approximately 10–15 minutes.

  • Answer honestly: Don’t overthink it—choose the responses that reflect how you are, not how you wish to appear.

  • Test format: You’ll face multiple-choice prompts like “At a party, do you interact with many (E) or a few familiar people (I)?”

Similar to 16 Personalities, Personality Perfect is also based on Jung’s and Myers-Briggs’ personality theories, and uses four broad categories — extraversion vs. introversion, sensing and intuition, thinking and feeling, and judging and perceiving — to compile a four-letter abbreviation of your personality type (like “INFP”).
