This tool is built on the OEJTS (Open Extended Jungian Type Scales) — a psychometrically validated, open-source scale developed by Eric Jorgenson in 2014 and hosted by the Open Source Psychometrics Project (openpsychometrics.org). It is widely regarded as one of the most accurate and trustworthy free MBTI-style assessments available.

How to Use Your Result
Results are best for self-reflection, team communication, and light discussion. They are not intended for hiring, clinical diagnosis, or other high-stakes decisions. Personality type reflects preference tendencies — not ability or worth — and should always be read in context.
