Reviews of the TypeFinder Test

I took the MBTI about 12 years ago when it was a fun fad with my friends. It rang true then, and it rings true again. While I am the same in my core essence (ESFP), I have tempered much, as indicated by some of my scores nearing borderline. This was a fun test and easy to take, and an fantastic in depth review of my results! The test is free, though you can upgrade, and just knowing your four letters means you can go and read all sorts of free material about your type. I highly recommend this test in conjunction with the Six Types of Working Genius for understanding self and place in the world.

I was hesitant to pay for my report since I’ve taken this test before and didn’t really take it that seriously the first time. But this time around, I wanted to take my time and really understand what the test questions were asking to answer in a way that reflected who I am. My profile says I’m an ISFJ and after doing some research online and on YouTube about the ISFJ profile it felt true to who I am. Of course there were some things that I was confused about that I later found to make sense in the purchased report. The facet section really added some clarity to some areas of my personality that I have questioned in the past. For example, I always wondered why I felt a need to help the homeless or vulnerable, but when an able person including family asks me for help, I retreat, hesitate and feel that they should be responsible for themselves. The need to help others is not equally distributed to all and this made me feel like I was being “fake” or that my intentions to help others was not genuine. The facets section confirmed to me that this was not true and that I’m just mostly an “individualist” when compared to a “helper.” The report cleared this confusion for me among other conflicts I felt about my personality. It was a very insightful experience reading the report. I’m very glad I made the purchase.

I was surprised how accurate it was. It matched me perfectly to my current and past job/careers. How did it know? AMAZING!
