How to Score Your Results
After answering all 70 questions above, follow these steps:
Step 1: Count Your Answers
Go through your 70 answers and count how many times you chose each letter:
Count how many e and how many i (should total 10)
Count how many s and how many n (should total 20)
Count how many t and how many f (should total 20)
Count how many j and how many p (should total 20)
Step 2: Calculate Percentages
For each dimension, calculate the percentage:
E% = (number of e ÷ 10) × 100, and I% = 100 - E%
S% = (number of s ÷ 20) × 100, and N% = 100 - S%
T% = (number of t ÷ 20) × 100, and F% = 100 - T%
J% = (number of j ÷ 20) × 100, and P% = 100 - J%
Step 3: Determine Your Type
For each dimension, choose the letter you scored higher on:
E or I: Whichever has the higher count
S or N: Whichever has the higher count
T or F: Whichever has the higher count
J or P: Whichever has the higher count
Combine these four letters in order to get your personality type.
Example: If you scored higher on I, N, T, and J, your type is INTJ
