Using Google (or other search engine) search on the term Free MBTI and take one of the light versions of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.

Eg: Do the results reflect your own perception of yourself? It what ways do they defer

MBTI : MBTI Functions are based on mental (psychological) processes of taking in and evaluating information MBTI is suitable for self-discovery, identification of learning styles MBTI is made of stereotypes, Jungs typology digs deep into human psyche The MBTI is far more theoretical in nature, and more based on qualitative analysis. The MBTI categorizes individuals based on preference or type , but not the strength or degree of preference nor degree of aptitude it does not measure the amount of a personality trait In fact, the MBTI does not measure anything. MBTI is not capable of exploring or identifying individuality within the type code itself MBTI lies mostly within its statistical structure

BIG 5 MODEL : Big 5 is very simple to use and based entirely on on the surface behaviour. The 5 model is probably better, since it is more scientific, but I think 5 traits is too many to make them easy to identify Big5 is such an superficial system it works well with scientific systems that rely on statistics. The 5 factor model came out of heaps and heaps of data mining, it is effectively based on quantitative analysis. The BIG 5 MODEL can be used in both selection and development applications. The continuous trait-measurements, multi-dimensional properties, and predictive reporting

i score a bit high on the scale of extroversion,compaing to mbit high on consciousness, very low on openness to experience, low on agreeableness and high on neuroticism. I had been expecting a same score on extroversion, but when I really considered it, I found that I personally get the most joy out of being with small groups of people but at the end I can say both test results are completyely different personally MBTI result is very close to my mind set where as Big 5 is far awy from reaility
