Jungian 16-Type Indicator

A four-letter cognitive type from 32 self-authored items across four dichotomies. About 8 minutes.

For each statement, rate how much you agree — from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree. Answer as you generally are, not as you wish to be. There are no right answers, and every type has real strengths. This is a self-reflection tool, not a clinical assessment.

100% client-side — your answers never leave your browser. No signup, no server, no tracking.

Not a diagnostic tool. This assessment is for self-reflection and curiosity only. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or assess any mental-health, neurodevelopmental, or medical condition, and it is not a substitute for professional advice. If you have concerns about your mental health, please consult a qualified clinician.

About this instrument

This indicator is inspired by Carl Jung's Psychological Types (1921) and the four dichotomies — Extraversion/Introversion, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, and Judging/Perceiving — that later appeared in non-clinical type frameworks. All item wording here is self-authored by mneurix.dev and is offered for self-reflection, not diagnosis.

This is not the MBTI® assessment. MBTI and Myers-Briggs are trademarks of The Myers-Briggs Company. For self-reflection, not diagnosis.

Jungian type describes preferences, not abilities or limits — and most people use both poles of every axis depending on context. A type is a starting point for curiosity, not a box.
