The Keirsey Temperament Sorter is a personality inventory system developed by psychological researcher David Keirsey as a refinement of the well-known Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). It is used extensively by schools and management consultants for counseling and for career planning and placement services, and is currently the most widely-used personality inventory system in the world. Based on your answers to an on-line questionnaire (70 questions), this site provides a qualitative and quantitative characterization of your personality according to a scheme of sixteen basic personality types (the same scheme used by the MBTI). This scheme, which developed out of C.G. Jung's theory of personality types, is based on the various combinations of four bilateral dimensions of personality: Extraversion/Introversion (E/I), Intuition/Sensing (N/S), Thinking/Feeling (T/F), and Judgment/Perception (J/P). In the Keirsey system, the overall scheme is subdivided into four fundamental "temperaments" named after the basic social functions described in Plato's Republic and corresponding to the four ancient temperaments of Hippocrates: SJ "Guardian" (Melancholic, Epimethean), SP "Artisan" (Sanguine, Dionysian), NF "Idealist" (Choleric, Apollonian) and NT "Rational" (Phlegmatic, Promethean). Yours Truly has, so far, consistently tested out as an "iNTj."
