Questions That Reflect Type
Here you will zero in on your own core type. You’ve narrowed down your possible core type to two or three possibilities, so as you work your way through the questions for each type, one type should ring true. You should have a strong response of identification to practically every question in the core type that you are. Other types may describe parts of you, but your core type will be the closest match. Ask your close friends to take the test for you as an additional backup verification.
