Free online test to determine your instinctual subtype

Instructions for taking the test

We use a four-step process to determine the instinctual subtype pattern. Step three is optional. Follow the four steps in sequence after recording the background items. Also, have a person who knows you well do this procedure for you as a good check.

Just as in determining your primary type, it is important that you discover your instinctual subtype pattern from “the inside out” through this process of self-discovery. This section is designed to assist you in your discovery process.
