What’s your personality? How do you and your loved ones, friends, and co-workers compare? Imagine having quick access to the right keywords to get your point across!

Whether you’re in a boring meeting, on the phone with a challenging client, or dealing with a flustered family member — this application is for you. The essential themes of each personality Type are just a tap away. You can also explore each personality in depth: learn a person’s core needs and values, cognitive processes, interaction style, team behavior, pitfalls, growth points, and much more.

You will quickly learn about Type Theory and how to positively influence others using the “Compare” feature. This feature relies on sophisticated algorithms to show you the likely commonalities, differences, and synergies between two people. The algorithms compare communication, problem solving, learning and adaptation, love relationships, growth and change, and more.

IN DEPTH:
Personality is far more than just superficial traits. Personality reveals motivation and cognition — why (and how) people act. In short, this application helps you discover what makes people “tick”. When you know why someone needs something, or how they prefer to go about doing a task or interaction, then you have leverage to improve the situation.

For almost six decades, thousands of successful professionals — counselors, teachers, managers, coaches, salespeople, and others — have used the insights of Type Theory. Type Theory is supported by decades of published statistical analysis of over six million people.

The famous and highly respected Dr. Carl Jung first described eight cognitive processes people use. The eight processes combine to match the sixteen personality Types. Thus, when you learn about Type Theory, you learn what occurs on the inside; in a person’s head and heart — and how they relate back-and-forth with others. No other personality theory can give you this picture.

This application is ideal for serious students of psychology. Learning about ourselves and others is not done by simply “taking a test” that “tells” us who we are. Although we include multiple personality assessments, genuine learning for adults involves continual exploration and reflection. This application gives you tools; you the one who brings the curiosity and patience for discovery.

EXPERTISE:
This application is the work of renowned Type Theorist and UCLA lecturer Dario Nardi, PhD, author of numerous books on personality psychology, cognition, neuroscience, and self-leadership. Dr. Nardi has worked with many other experts, including practicing organizational development consultants and psychologists. What you get is the product of many minds and personalities, not just one.

FEATURES:
• Save Multiple Personality Assessments and Profiles For Reference
• Includes Three Personality Assessments: “Short Form”, “Long Form”, and “Standard-Form”
• Essential Details of the Well-Known 16 Personality Types (“ESTJ”, “INFP”, etc) by Isabel Briggs-Myers
• Keywords to Apply Subtle Influence on Others
• A Super “Compare” Feature to Pinpoint and Manage Commonalities and Differences Between Any Two Personality Types
• An Explanation of Type Theory with Links to Handy Online Resources

Pros and cons of Personality Types app for iPhone and iPad

Personality Types app good for

As said in title, this is a nice app (elegant, but also well done for users). As I am interested in MBTI, its good to me to have it in my pocket. Only few comments for a future update: - for comparison between 2 peoples, it could be cool to have access through a list to already recorded people. - for adding a person, if the MBTI profile is already identified through an external test, it could be cool to just choose it on the grid or from a list. - copy function, email option could also be very helpul for communication (or for translation on Internet). With all that, it would be perfect to me. Thanks for this app, not too expensive compared to the interest of the approach.
... lots of info, especially love the comparison of types. worth the money
this application simply rocks. You can do many individual MBTI profiles within the app and compare them to each other with great results & recommendations. Simply stunning!
Over the past 25 years in business, 10 in large scale fee negotiations, I have used this MBTI approach with great success. Yes it is a well validated approach in the literature. Yes it is usually a much longer questionnaire. Guess what? Their 8 questions pegged me exactly the same as these longer questionnaires. (The authors also recently added a 40 question version to reassure people.). This app has also received great reviews on other web sites. What can you do with this app? 1 Know your own personality style strengths and limitations. 2. Learn easily about other styles. 3. USE THE 8 QUESTIONS to fill in your own best estimated answers for someone else -- the app does a great job of pointing out how you differ and therefore how to work with the other. All in all, a great little tool that is well designed and delivers as promised.
I was skeptical about an eight question test... But the eight question test, the forty question test, and a one hundred and forty question test on the Internet all gave me the same results (although the Internet test also gave me a headache). Definetly worth the low cost. I would recomend it to everyone, even if you dont believe in personality tests... Its bound to surprise you :)
Kudos for creating a comprehensive, clear and easy-to-use app that gets to the full essence without alot of fluff. Brilliant. Ive been involved with psychological type since 1988 and deeply appreciate how this app gets you to the core essence quickly and directly. Very well done. Thanks!

Some bad moments

Not worth it as the results are not very specific. A more in-depth assessment would be an improvement.
A personality cannot be accurately determined in 8 questions. Might be useful as a reference for Personality Types, but for personality assesment, big failure.
As a student of psychology I am more than dissapointed. A personality test that is 8 questions? Please dont buy this app.
This salad of different psychological tests is hardly of any use; nor in clinical practice, neither in the research field. Is it good only to make general public more sensitive to psychological issues?
This app has only 8 questions to determine a personality type, and besides, it does not tell you ur exact personality type. For example, it would give you three to four types for one person.. This app would have been better if it has many questions and give an exact type instead of million for one person.
There are only 8 questions and it does not classify your personality type. I would have given it 1 star except that it has information about the types. Buyer beware. I should have read the reviews.
