How to Use Personality Tests

A personality test for couples: start a conversation, not a compatibility score

Taking a personality test together can give you a concrete topic to talk through. OpenJung shows two individual preference profiles side by side rather than scoring your relationship, and each person decides whether to take part and what to share.

How to take the test together

You share one device: the first person answers 32 questions, then hands it to the second person for their 32. Set aside about 15–20 minutes in total; there is no timer. Names are optional. Answer from your own everyday habits rather than guessing how your partner would describe you.

Once both sets are done, you can reveal the types and open each person’s full result. Answering and viewing results are free, with no account or email required. If passing a device back and forth feels uncomfortable, you can each take the individual test on your own.

Take the individual test instead

Two results are not a relationship verdict

Look at the four dimension scores (E/I, S/N, T/F and J/P) before focusing on the four-letter labels. Those percentages show where each person landed on a preference scale—not how compatible you are, how much you care about each other, or how likely the relationship is to work.

Sharing the same letters does not guarantee shared values, and having different letters does not prove conflict or automatic complementarity. These OEJTS-adapted results are not the official MBTI assessment, a clinical diagnosis, or a basis for deciding whether to stay together.

Check the assessment evidence and limits

Discuss one real situation

Pick a recent everyday moment, such as planning a weekend. Each person can answer three questions: What happened? What did I need at the time? What did I assume about you? Let the other person finish describing their experience before trying to explain it with a type.

If you want, agree on one small adjustment to try next time—for instance, when to settle on a plan and which parts to leave open. Try it once, then talk about what helped and what did not. This is an optional conversation prompt from our editors, not a validated relationship intervention or a prediction based on your types.

Agree before sharing names or results

In-progress answers are saved in this browser, so keep in mind who else uses the device. A shared result link includes both scores and any names you typed in, and anyone with the link can read it. Leave the name fields blank if you do not want them in the URL, and check with each other before sharing.

Scoring runs on your device. Research contribution and optional usage sharing default to off. Basic Google Analytics defaults to on, can be turned off on the privacy page, and does not receive your personal scores or names—though no registration does not mean no analytics.
