Answer each question honestly, and we'll let you know which if any, personality cluster you fall into. Will it be the cluster you think it is, or will you fail to have a cluster at all? Take this quiz to find out!
History Lesson
Personality tests have a long and complex history, dating back to the early 20th century.
The first modern personality test was the Woodworth Personal Data Sheet, developed by Robert S. Woodworth in 1917 to help screen soldiers for mental disorders during World War I. This test consisted of 116 true/false questions about various aspects of a person's life, such as their health, hobbies, and attitudes.
In the years following the war, psychologists and researchers began to develop new personality tests, each with its own unique approach and focus. One of the most influential of these tests was the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), developed by psychologists Starke Hathaway and J.C. McKinley in the 1930s. The MMPI used a series of true/false questions to assess various aspects of a person's personality, including their mental health and emotional stability.
During World War II, personality tests became increasingly important for military selection and placement. The Army Alpha and Beta tests, developed by psychologist Robert Yerkes, were used to assess the intelligence and aptitude of military recruits, while the Minnesota Occupational Rating Scales (MORS) were used to match soldiers with appropriate military jobs.
In the post-war years, personality tests became increasingly popular for use in industry and education. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers in the 1940s, became one of the most widely used personality tests in the world. The MBTI is based on Carl Jung's theory of psychological types and classifies people into one of 16 personality types based on their preferences for four key dimensions: introversion/extroversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling, and judging/perceiving.
Today, personality tests are used in a wide range of fields, from psychology and psychiatry to human resources and marketing. While they remain controversial in some circles, they continue to be an important tool for understanding and assessing human behavior and personality.
Quiz Writer
Charlie took to the written word like a fish takes to water. That is to say; they found themselves immersed in literature from before they were born. They've been known to tell their friends how they can still remember the passages their parents read to them when they were in utero - Emily Dickinson, Jane Austen, and a bit of Hunter S. Thompson thrown in to balance it out. Charlie keeps their feet wet, whether they're whipping up pithy one-liners to tease your brain or busy working on their second novel (the first one is available on Amazon under a pen name they refuse to disclose). You’re sure to get a kick out of giggle-worthy explanations and outrageous hints, and still come away feeling like you’ve just expanded your knowledge base.

Personality tests can predict behavior
Personality tests are for more than just learning about yourself. While it's always a good idea to know yourself inside and out, personality tests have long been used as a way to identify common behavioral patterns. In the case of personality clusters, each cluster represents a type of behavior that's consistent with others taking the test. However, these personality tests can serve many purposes. At the same time that they can be used as diagnostic and treatment tools, they can also predict future behavior. If there's already a pattern in your personality, there's a good chance that you will act out according to the traits you've exhibited that place you into a certain personality cluster.
Whether it's obsessive-compulsive behavior or narcissistic traits, knowing the patterns of behavior can help you avoid falling into the same trap. If you have any feelings that need to be addressed to make you a happier you, it's important to talk to your doctor.
