About

MBTI

Features
Read full description

MBTI :) is a personality test app built for people who want something more memorable than a traditional questionnaire. Choose a quick 30-question check, a deeper 60 or 90-question test, or step into story-based RPG modes where every answer feels like a real decision. Survive a post-apocalyptic world, navigate a cyber corporate power game, or restart your fitness life at the squat rack. Your result includes a clear personality overview, strengths and tendencies, a tailored character image, and an eight-axis radar chart for E/I, S/N, T/F, and J/P. You can also browse an MBTI guide, compare all 16 types, and view a 16x16 similarity table. MBTI is not here to put people in boxes. It is a language for noticing differences, understanding how people think, and meeting yourself and others with more curiosity. Features: • Classic MBTI tests with 30, 60, or 90 questions • RPG story modes with scenario-based choices • Result pages for all 16 personality types • Character-style personality images • Eight-axis radar visualization • MBTI letter guide and 16-type quick reference • 16x16 personality similarity table • Shareable result page Use MBTI :) as a light, visual, story-driven entry point into self-understanding. Your type is a starting point for reflection, not a final verdict.

About

Dossier

You already know what you're like. Dossier tells you what it costs. Thirty questions. Two minutes. Scored on the five-factor model — the one actually used in psychological research, not a personality type somebody invented in the 1940s. WHAT YOU GET Your archetype. One of 32, formed by where you land on all five factors. Not a flattering label — an honest one. Your percentiles. Where you actually sit against other people on Openness, Drive, Voltage, Warmth and Sensitivity. Your full file. What your profile gives you, what it costs you, and the blind spots that come with it. The trait interactions specific to you — what happens when your drive meets your anxiety, or your warmth meets your sensitivity. This is the part people find hard to read. COMPARE WITH ANYONE Send someone your code and a link to the app in one message. When they put it in, Dossier reads how the two of you actually work together — what holds, where it breaks, and which argument you're going to keep having. Comparing is part of Dossier Pro. No account needed for either of you. A DAILY READ One line a day, written for your profile. Blunt, specific, and occasionally uncomfortable. BUILT ON REAL PSYCHOMETRICS Thirty items, six per factor, half of them reverse-keyed so that agreeing with everything doesn't manufacture a personality. Your scores are placed against published adult reference data. We explain exactly how it works inside the app, including what it isn't. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything is scored and stored on your device. No account. No server. Nothing is uploaded, ever. Delete the app and the data goes with it. DOSSIER PRO Your complete file, the blind-spot report, full daily reads, every share card style, and comparing with anyone. One payment, unlocked forever. Not a subscription — nothing renews. Dossier is not a clinical instrument, a diagnosis, or a mental health assessment. It's a very well-built mirror.
