The personality type myth

A personality questionnaire that does not file you under a type, but shows how many-sided you are.

Many personality tests hand you a sweeping description that is easy to recognise yourself in and tells you little that is new. Personomist builds a detailed profile from your answers: what your traits are, how they relate to one another, and how they may show in your behaviour, your preferences and your daily life. Without the simplifications and the flattery.

Who you are

One unique profile, many science-based predictions

We ask you 100 questions about how you usually think, feel and behave. We compare the patterns in your answers with those of thousands of other people and build a detailed profile of 100 measures. From it we can describe the different sides of your personality and predict your likely behaviours, preferences and habits.

  1. A model of you

    Your place in the space

    Each person's 100 traits make them a point in a space where every trait is a direction. You are one of those points, with your own direction and your own distance from the average.

  2. Comparison

    You and others

    People like you are close to you in this space. Typical patterns sit in the same space too, such as a typical extravert.

  3. Big Five

    Extraversion and openness

    Your extraversion is how far you reach in the direction of a typical extravert, and your openness how far you reach in the direction of a typical open person.

    Extraversion high (5/5), openness low (1/5)

  4. Wellbeing landscape

    Resilience to stress

    The same space also allows educated guesses about wellbeing. Resilience to stress, for example, is how far you reach in the direction of a person who is resilient to stress.

    High (5/5)

  5. Career landscape

    Similarity to jobs

    The people in over a hundred jobs can be described in the same space too. Your similarity to them shows how far your point reaches in their direction.

Wellbeing

How are you doing?

The wellbeing scores estimate, from your personality, how easily you focus, unwind and cope with stress. The burnout check shows how work is going for you right now. Both come with recommendations, and when you return later you see what has changed.

How Personomist works

Get to know yourself better over time

Your first picture takes about ten minutes. The more you add to your profile over time, the fuller and the more many-sided it becomes.

  1. Today

    Choose what you want to know about yourself

    We suggest starting with the personality questionnaire, which covers how you characteristically think, feel and behave.

  2. About 10 minutes

    Answer the questions

    Every question opens a different side of your personality. Your answers build a detailed picture of your traits.

  3. Right after

    Read your results and recommendations

    Your first results arrive as soon as you finish. Take your time with them and look at what we suggest. Save them to an account so you can come back and add to your profile.

  4. In the weeks after

    Add to your profile

    Look into your wellbeing and your interests, and answer again over time for a more reliable and many-sided picture. Invite the people who matter to you to describe you, and see where your descriptions agree and where they differ. If you like, you can compare your profiles.

  5. A few months on

    Follow the changes

    Try the habits and the wellbeing activities that suit you. Answer again in a few months to see your wellbeing, notice what has changed, and sharpen your sense of yourself.
