Ever wonder why you are the way you are?
Let’s be honest: most of us in our 20s are still trying to figure out who we are, what we want, and what on earth we’re supposed to be doing with our lives. If you’ve ever sat there thinking, Why am I like this?, you’re not alone.
One thing that actually helped me understand myself a little better was a personality test—yes, one of those quizzes—but trust me, this one goes way deeper than “pick your favorite snack to find out what color you are.”
The Myers-Briggs personality test sorts people into one of 16 personality types based on how they think, make decisions, process information, and interact with the world. So what’s the big deal? This test peels back every layer of your personality and shows you what’s really at the root of it all.
How it works
It’s made up of a series of questions on a scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree, then sorts your answers into four categories:
- Introversion (I) vs. Extraversion (E)
- Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N)
- Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F)
- Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P)
Your combo of letters becomes your “type”. For example, I’m an INFJ, which in broad terms means I’m introverted, intuitive, soft-hearted, and way too good at overanalyzing everything.
This personality combination is just a sneak peek of what’s to come. The full results give you a scarily accurate description of your type and a deeper analysis of why your mind works the way it does. It honestly feels like reading your brain’s user manual—the good, the bad, and the “oh…so that’s why I do that.”
What you’ll Learn
The results give you a full breakdown of your mind, including things you may have never consciously noticed about yourself. It dives into:
- How you communicate
- How you make decisions
- What drains vs. energizes you
- How you handle stress
- How you work with others
- What environments you thrive in
- Your biggest strengths
- Career paths that match your personality
It even tells you which celebrities share your type! When my dad (a federal agent) got The Inspector, we all just stared at the screen like…yup, that checks out. My daredevil brother got The Doer, and I swear, I’ve never seen something that describes him better.
Why it’s Worth Trying
This test didn’t just help me understand myself—it actually helped my brother figure out what he wanted to study and major in. My friends and I have all compared results and gone “oh that’s so you!”. It’s just a fun thing to compare, and it definitely helps us understand each other a little better.
Whether you’re having a mini identity crisis, debating your future career, or just want to know why your brain works the way it does, this is genuinely one of the easiest (and weirdly most satisfying) tools to use.
Plus, it’s completely free!
