This is an enhanced Myers-Briggs test using the best questions from the most popular versions out there: Myers-Br
Indicator, Keirseyan Temperament Sorters I and II and a few others.

"Best" questions were determined by how well they referenced real life situations, and asked for "most likely" answe
than "absolute" answers, as most people are not absolute or just "one way all the time" in their life styles. Questions

Most versions of the Myers-Briggs tests allowed for "ties" on the results among the Preferences (letter codes). Howe
is absolutely straight down the middle and it just confuses the outcome. As a result, this test has an odd number of q
each Preference so no ties can result.

The handful of extra questions added cannot skew the results to any appreciable amount.
