Four-Axis Personality Questionnaire
Our own forced-choice questionnaire on the four public dichotomies — 24 items or an 8-item short form — scored as a strength bar per axis rather than a hard four-letter verdict.
Our own forced-choice questionnaire on the four public dichotomies — 24 items, or 8 if you want the quick version. The result is a strength bar per axis rather than a four-letter verdict, because a 4–2 split and a 6–0 split give the same letter and are not the same finding. This is not the MBTI and is not affiliated with The Myers-Briggs Company.
For fun. This is a description of how you answered twenty-four questions today, not a diagnosis, not a measurement of ability, and not a basis for a decision about anyone — least of all in hiring.

Result
24 items left. The bars fill in as you answer.

- What information is trusted — 감각 (S) · 직관 (N)even (0 : 0)SN
Your answers are evenly split on this axis.
- How a decision is settled — 사고 (T) · 감정 (F)even (0 : 0)TF
Your answers are evenly split on this axis.

Your answers are evenly split on this axis.
Four-letter shorthand
----
Shown because people ask for it, and small because it is the least informative thing on this page. Two of these letters can come from a 4–2 split and two from a 6–0 split, and the shorthand does not distinguish them. The bars do.
Where this comes from, and what the evidence says
- C. G. Jung, *Psychologische Typen* (1921) — the four dichotomies, and the only part of the scheme that is in the public domain. The instrument built on them is not.
- Howes & Carskadon (1979), *Journal of Psychological Type* — one of the early test-retest studies; a substantial share of respondents changed at least one letter over five weeks.
- Pittenger, “The Utility of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator”, *Review of Educational Research* 63(4), 1993 — a review of the reliability and validity evidence.
- Druckman & Bjork (eds.), *In the Mind’s Eye: Enhancing Human Performance*, National Research Council, 1991 — the chapter that concluded the evidence did not support the instrument’s use in career counselling.
- The items themselves were written for this page and are not taken from any published instrument.

How to use it
Answer without weighing it up
Neither option is the good one — the pairs are written as two ordinary ways of doing an ordinary thing, with no praise on either side. The first answer that feels true is the one to take.
Read the bars, not the letters
Each bar runs from the centre outward. A short bar means the axis is nearly even, which the page also says in words — an axis that close is one changed answer from the other letter.
Take the short form for a quick answer
Two items per axis. It is quicker and correspondingly rougher — with two items an axis can only come out 2–0 or 1–1 — and the page says so when you switch.
Common questions
Is this the MBTI?
No. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and MBTI are registered trademarks of The Myers-Briggs Company; the instrument is licensed, its items are copyrighted, and it is meant to be interpreted by someone trained to do it. The four dichotomies themselves come from Jung’s *Psychologische Typen* (1921) and are public. These items were written for this page.
Why is there no sixteen-type description?
Because that is the point at which a four-letter page stops describing how someone answered and starts telling a stranger who they are — and it is also the part that is unmistakably somebody else’s instrument. The page describes each axis lean instead.
How reliable is a result like this?
Not very, and the page says so with citations. Test-retest studies of four-letter typologies find a large minority of people get a different letter weeks later, and the axis that moves is almost always one that was near the middle — which is exactly what the bars show you.
Why does answering everything “A” give me no letters?
Because half the items on each axis put the first pole in option A and half put it in option B. Someone picking the first option out of habit lands dead in the middle on every axis instead of getting a confident result built entirely out of a response habit.
Should this be used for hiring?
No. Nor should the instrument it is not. The National Research Council’s 1991 review concluded the evidence did not support even the licensed instrument’s use in career counselling; a web page with twenty-four items of our own is further from that, not closer.

Face Proportions & 관상 Reading
You place the landmarks on your own photo — eye corners, nose base, mouth corners, chin, hairline, jaw. It then measures 삼정, the five-eye-widths rule, jaw angle and philtrum ratio exactly, and gives each ratio its traditional 마의상법 reading.
Palm Line Measurement & 손금 Reading
You trace 생명선, 감정선 and 두뇌선 over your own palm photo with a few drags. Length relative to the palm, curvature, forks and breaks are then measured exactly from the polyline, each with its traditional reading.
Zodiac Compatibility (궁합)
Two birth dates give two animal signs and two day stems. Reports the exact relation between them — 삼합, 육합, 충, 원진, 형, 파, 해 — and the five-element relation of the day stems, each with the traditional verdict.
Tarot Reading — 78-card deck, classic spreads
Shuffles a full 78-card deck with the browser’s CSPRNG and lays a one-card, three-card, Celtic Cross, horseshoe or two-person spread, each position labelled with what it traditionally answers. Meanings are quoted from Waite’s 1911 handbook; the card of the day is seeded from your name and the date, so it does not change when you reload.
