About the team

Who's behind TestMyTraits, why it exists, and how the content gets made.

Who runs this site?

TestMyTraits is built and maintained by a small, independent team. We're not tied to any institution, and we don't claim to be clinical psychologists. This isn't a licensed assessment and never claims to be. What we do bring is careful sourcing, and we're upfront about what a test like this can and can't tell you.

Why build another personality test?

Because honest ones are hard to find. Most free tests give you four letters and a flattering description that could fit anyone. They don't mention that if you're near the middle of a scale, you could get either letter depending on the day. We do the opposite. We show how strong each letter is, we mark the close calls, and we never claim your type predicts who you're compatible with.

How are the questions and type descriptions written?

The test questions are adapted from the International Personality Item Pool, a free bank of research questions. We didn't make them up, and we didn't copy them from any paid test. We write the type descriptions and articles ourselves and check them against a few rules before they go up: no medical or diagnostic language, nothing so vague it fits everyone, and every growth section has to name a real downside, not a disguised compliment.
