Apa yang bisa dan tidak bisa kami klaim

OpenJung aims to be open about both the basis and the limits of this test. You deserve to know how your results are calculated, what they can tell you, and, just as important, what they cannot.

Evidence and validation status

English fallback — this evidence note is available in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

Traceable source: the full test adapts the 32-item OEJTS 1.2 by Open Psychometrics. The questionnaire PDF documents that version’s items, scoring rules and license. The development page provides item-selection background, not validation of this adaptation.

Not yet published: internal consistency, test–retest reliability and factor validation for this OpenJung version, its 8-question quick test, or its translations. We do not present unsupported reliability coefficients for this implementation.

Some wording and item directions have been adapted. The quick test uses only 2 questions per dimension; scaling it to 8–40 for display does not give it the precision of the full test. Percentages describe a position on a scale, not accuracy or diagnostic probability.

Use results for reflection and communication. Near-midpoint results do not establish a fixed type. Do not use them for hiring, clinical or other high-stakes decisions.

OEJTS questionnaire items and adaptations are licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, not public domain. The MIT license covers original OpenJung code, not the questionnaire.

Current assessment version: openjung-oejts-1

Honest Limitations

No personality assessment is perfect. Understanding these limitations helps you interpret your results more wisely.

Self-Report Bias
All self-report measures are subject to social desirability bias and limited self-awareness. Your answers reflect how you see yourself, which may differ from how others perceive you.
Binary Classification
Type frameworks assign discrete types (E or I, not both), but personality traits are continuously distributed. Someone scoring 51% Extrovert may not differ meaningfully from someone at 49%.
Situational Variability
Behavior varies by context. You might be extroverted at parties but introverted at work. Type represents general tendencies, not fixed behaviors.
Cultural Considerations
These dimensions were developed in Western contexts. Some questions may shift in meaning when carried into other cultures.
Not Clinical
Jungian type assessments measure normal personality variation, not psychological disorders. It should never be used for mental health diagnosis or as a substitute for professional assessment.
Predictive Limits
Type correlates weakly with specific outcomes like job performance. Use it for self-understanding, not career gatekeeping or stereotyping others.
