Remember, these are online versions – which means you’re getting online results. The results are not intended to take the place of any type of professional psychological evaluation or analysis. You will, however, use the results as a part of an assignment comparing your assessment of your personality with others’ assessments of your personality. Access the links below from my teacher website, take the tests, and then record your results.
