Are you a Fairy, Feline, Poison, or Ghost? No, we’re not talking about Halloween costumes. It’s our test results from the Taiwan Design Expo personality quiz that have had a chokehold on social media over the past week. But while this is trending now, personality tests aren’t something new.
The recent viral one is actually derived from tried-and-tested ones like the Enneagram and Myers-Briggs, which is based on 4 categories: introversion/extraversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling, and judging/perceiving. If you love psychology or simply learning more about you and your friends, here are more fun, free personality tests for you to try out.

Your results will be displayed in a Venn Diagram sorted into 4 categories: what you love, what the world needs, what you are good at, and what you can be paid for. And well, your recommended career will be at the centre of the diagram.
Caution: it’s a very long test with different 4 parts of about 20 questions each, so you may want to set aside at least 10 minutes to complete it.

If you’re into personality tests, you’d probably have heard of Gretchen Rubin, the author of the book The Happiness Project. Her questionnaire, The Four Tendencies Quiz, will let you know whether you’re an Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, or Rebel.

It’s a moderately short quiz that’ll take about 5 minutes to complete, with questions that aim to find out what motivates you to do certain things. At the end of the quiz, you’ll get a detailed report that will break down what you’re motivated by and even suggest “hacks” that will work for you to meet your goals and get tasks done.
But don’t tell your boss you can’t meet your deadlines just because you’re a rebel ah.

“Leaning into your dark femininity” has become a trend on TikTok. But what’s more powerful is getting to know your Feminine Archetypes so you can learn your strengths, weaknesses, and how to embrace your feminine power to transform into your highest self. The visuals are inspired by tarot cards, while the concept of the test is based on psychologist Carl Jung’s theory of archetypes.
Fun fact: The Huntress was inspired by Greek goddess Artemis.

After answering 14 questions, you’ll be grouped into 1 of the 7 archetypes – The Mother, The Queen, The Maiden, The Sage, The Huntress, The Lover, and The Mystic.
The test results will also show your strongest personality traits, along with your “light” and “shadow”, which basically means your strengths and weaknesses respectively.

I did 25 short questions based on the Myers-Briggs test in less than 5 minutes and as a chronic INFP, I can confirm that it’s rather accurate.

This OG Enneagram Universe test is quite long, made up of 180 statements. But there’s also a shorter one on Truity for those who are lazy to complete 180 prompts. You’ll have to select the option that feels most familiar to you on a scale of “almost never” to “almost always”.
You’ll be split into 9 types of personalities: Reformer, Helper, Achiever, Individualist, Investigator, Loyalist, Enthusiast, Challenger, and Peacemaker. Each type will have its own motivations, fears, and internal dynamics, helping you understand why you and the people closest to you behave the way you do.
