Personality Types

There are various reasons to take a personality test, but if you happen to be a member of a multiple system it might actually be pretty important.  Singular people have a lot more time to figure themselves out, whereas multiple systems have to split time between two or more individuals. Larger systems like ourselves may have members that only front once or twice every few months or so, and it can be difficult to figure out how to properly utilize these members. This is where personality tests come in handy.

We were directed to a particularly nice one by a friend: Www.16personalities.com

This test is quick, accurate, and comes with several pages of analysis that can help you discover the strengths and weaknesses of the alters you share a body with.  Aside from being practical personality tests can also be quite validating, especially for systems with less amnesia and/or distinctions between alters.

We were under he impression that we only presented a few different personality types, but so far we have discovered 7. With a system of our size (40+) I am wondering now if we actually cover all (or nearly all) personality types.

The hard part is getting everyone to cooperate and remember to take the test when they're out.
