Description:

Deluxe Edition Personality Test is a test to help you decide your basic temperament. It uses the 16 types of personality from Carl Jung, which have been modified into the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (a method of categorizing senses in opposition to each other in pairs) and furthered regrouped into 4 main categories.

The program gives a short overview of why it's important to know your type of personality, a short history of important pioneers in personalities and what each of the 16 types are. There is a test you can take, with questions and results based on the MBTI (Myers-Briggs) index. After the test is finished, you can view the results and see what this type personality functions at work, in stressful situations, and other life details.

Features:

  • Standard personality types
  • Test
  • Results
  • How your personality reacts to certain situations
  • Description of each personality type

Technical Aspects:

Installation went well, without any hitches. The audio and video were both smooth.

Report and Conclusions:

For people who are curious about their personality type, this is an informative and amusing program. Each of the 16 types is explained in detail, and in situations that commonly occur to most people. However, if you don't care what kind of personality you have, there is not much point in getting this program.

I tested myself, and was a little surprised at the results. It said I was private and reflective, and liked concrete tasks where I could manipulate objects and learn by doing, and also that I liked high risk situations. Well, I am mostly private and reflective, with some extrovert tendencies, but mostly I like quiet, so that was on the mark. However, I'm a dunce with material tasks, and have no common sense, and hate learning by doing; I'm the person who reads the manual through twice before starting a project. But I'm also a highly impatient person, who rushes in traffic, and walks very fast everywhere I go. I despise waiting on anything or anyone, so I think this tendency of mine translated into high risk-taking in the test, which I am not (I'm pretty chicken-hearted).

So, have fun, but take these tests with a pinch of salt :D
