Here are links to the tests. They are all free. And take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes each. Space them out. Do not buy anything. All test give results but you may have to hunt for a concealed yellow button (low contrast). Of course, they’d rather you pay — but it is unnecessary.
DISCLAIMER: It’s important to answer the questions honestly. Try not to answer them in terms of how you would like to see yourself, but in terms of how you actually are, or have tended to be in the past.
If you answer like you high school teacher or parent would like, we end up with a very skewed inaccurate picture. I usually “see” those things. But having me examine every test is not the goal. 🙂
