INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PERSONALITY QUESTIONNAIRE

The questionnaire includes different situations, and answering them provides you with a description of your personality type. No type is better than others. That is why you get the most benefit by answering as honestly as possible. This is not an intelligence test measuring superiority. There are no right or wrong answers here.

Picture yourself in each situation and choose your aswers accordingly. Do not stay too long with one question, because the answers cannot be ranked from best to worst by a simple logical deduction. Intuitive answers yield best results, because personality expresses itself through intuition.

Evaluate one line at the time. For scoring it is very important that you choose the alternatives in order 1 – 2 – 3 – 4.

  1. First, choose the alternative that reflects you the best..
  2. Second, choose the alternative that reflects you the second best..
  3. Third, choose the alternative that reflects you less than the previous two..
  4. Finally, choose the alternative that reflects you the least..
