Mistyping Chart

Finding your type can be confusing, but you are not alone on this journey.

​

We always recommend starting with the test and going through the full description of your type. If the description does not feel like your personality we recommend reading the section on ‘Similar types’. If, after these steps, you end up relating equally to two or more types and find yourself unsure of which is most representative of you, you will find further in-depth guidance below.

 

Remember that we are always together with you on this journey, so feel free to write us an email and let us know how we can help on your path of self-discovery.
