Personality Types

"Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can." --Danny Kaye


I find human personality a fascinating subject. My interest in the subject was also sparked by a college class in which I took the lengthy version of the Keirsey Temperament Test, which I found to be frighteningly accurate in most respects. I also think that one of the best ways to understand other people better is to understand yourself. Combine this with my love of websurfing and on-line tests, and you have the following list of on-line personality tests. Try them out and find your own personality type. Some of them are a little less scientific than the Keirsey, but hey, they're fun. :) And, for the insatiably curious among you, my own results follow...
