How well do you know yourself? Self-awareness is key on the pursuit of success. One of the easiest ways to be successful is to maximise your strengths! But working out what your strengths are can be difficult. Thankfully there is an ever-growing list of personality tests that can help you uncover your strengths. Then it is up to you what you do with that knowledge.
Here are 3 personality tests that you can try out.
Myers-Brigg
Have you ever heard someone describe themselves with 4 letters, such as INFP? If so, then you have already been exposed to Myers Briggs. Myers-Briggs identifies your preferences based on four dichotomies:
Favourite world: Extraversion or Introversion
Information: Sensing or Intuition
Decisions: Thinking or Feeling
Structure: Judging or Perceiving
Each four letter combination has a “title” and then a description.

Belbin
This is a great test for anyone to take if you are working in a team, leading a team or building a team. Whilst you may think a like-minded team is the best way to succeed, research has shown that a diverse team, with different strengths, actually makes a higher performing team.
The Belbin model helps you understand how you best perform in a team. A person can usually be described as 2 or 3 of the 9 possible roles:
- Shaper
- Implementer
- Completer Finisher
- Plant
- Monitor Evaluator
- Specialist
- Resource Investigator
- Teamworker
- Co-ordinator
DISC profile
The DISC profile was developed by psychologist William Moulton Marston. Similar to Myers-Briggs, you are being assessed against four categories:
- Dominance
- Influence
- Steadiness
- Conscientiousness
