### 5/5 — Surprisingly Accurate.

*2026-08-11, version 2.1*

It makes sense too.

### 5/5 — GIGGLES

*2026-06-25, version 2.1*

GIGGLY GOO GA

### 5/5 — SPOT ON!

*2026-05-17, version 2.1*

I stumbled across this app, which had been on my phone for quite some time one Saturday night at 11 PM. When I tell you, it was one of the most enjoyable, quick, quizzes that I’ve ever taken I’m telling the truth. I was skeptical at first, but it truly accurately describes me even down to the career that I’ve chosen. I highly recommend !

### 3/5 — Hi

*2026-05-04, version 2.1*

It’s good but it is kinda confusing until you get the hang of it but otherwise I like it

### 5/5 — Free

*2026-04-18, version 2.1*

Actually free

### 4/5 — Cooollll😎

*2026-03-15, version 2.1*

Me and my friends all did the test and it was totally awesome 👏 although me and one of my friends are apparently opposites 🤷‍♀️👁️👄👁️

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-03-11, version 2.1*

Such an easy detailed test to find out more about yourself!

### 5/5 — Incredible app!

*2026-02-20, version 2.1*

I’ve been obsessed with my MBTI for a while, and this app was perfect for helping me understand myself better. 
It’s very accurate. Nearly every test I take tells me INTP (I am indeed an INTP) and this one also did. It broke down all sorts of things, and the categories are very useful. I also love seeing people with the same MBTI as me. Maybe the list could be updated? Or just include different people. James Maddison, Elon Musk, etc….
I love pretending I’m in my characters pov and taking the test and answering as they would to find out their MBTI. As a writer, it’s super useful.
The fun part under relationships is when it describes how to attract, that’s also very real and accurate. I also love being able to view the other MBTI’s.
My only suggestion is maybe allow the words to be a bit smaller? They’re so big!
Otherwise, great app!

### 5/5 — Letter Pairs are 100% accurate

*2026-01-12, version 2.1*

Easy to understand, helpful, accurate and many helpful information and detailes.

### 4/5 — INFJ

*2025-12-17, version 2.1*

I thought the test was more efficient and it included clearer questions, however, there was no button to go back on my questions which was a bit annoying.
