Personality tests have gained much popularity in recent years. Humans are often motivated to better understand themselves and find explanations for why they are the way they are. The “16 Personalities” personality test is a free online test consisting of questions that are geared towards placing you into one of the 16 determined personality types. Each of these types is composed of five letters that represent your energy, mind, nature, tactics and identity. Your energy is either introverted (I) or extroverted (E), and your mind is observant (S) or intuitive (N). Your nature is thinking (T) or feeling (F), your tactics are judging (J) or prospecting (P) and your identity is assertive (-A) or turbulent (-T). The 16 personality types are then split into four categories: analysts, diplomats, sentinels and explorers.  

I took this test years ago and discovered that the INFP-T label fits me best, which is in the diplomats category. But people often aren’t just interested in their own personality type. They also like seeing how their results compare with others; whether that be taking the test with friends, parents or comparing results with your favorite characters online. Take a look at these fictional character test results and see which ones match your personality type!

It’s interesting to see how we relate to different characters, especially ones that we might least expect. The 16 Personalities quiz is a fun way to explore what makes us unique as people. I personally love that I have the same personality type as Rue from The Hunger Games, especially since she is one of my favorites from the franchise. I hope you were able to find a character you like that matches your personality type!
