A great way to start your self-discovery journey is to grab a cup of tea, find a quiet space, disconnect from all distractions and indulge yourself into some of those personality tests online, followed by a good doze of self-reflection.
Here is a list of my favourite assessments online you can do for free and learn more about your overall personality type, your strengths and your saboteurs.
Your Personality Type
16 Personalities
Based on Carl Gustav Jung’s study of psychological traits and the famous Myers-Briggs test, 16 Personalities covers the “Big Five” personality traits of individuals: mind, energy, nature, tactics, and identity. As one of the most popular personality quizzes online, with over 26 million tests taken, it’ll cover everything from your basic qualities to your romantic relationships to your workplace habits, strengths, and weaknesses.
Apparently this test gives you a “freakishly accurate” description of who you are and why you do things the way you do!

Crystal is another personality test i often share with my clients. It uses a technology called Personality AI to analyse millions of online data points to identify someone's personality. Together with traditional assessments, you can use this data to quickly understand a person's behaviour, motivations, and communication style.
Taking this test, you will learn about your enneagram, core values, ideal career and more.

Your Saboteurs
Saboteur Assessment
This is a great assessment a lot of personal-development coaches and other practitioners use with theirs clients to determine one person's most common ways of self- sabotage.
The assessment is the first step to identifying your inner saboteurs, to expose their lies and discredit them. It takes just 5 minutes to complete the assessment, and you'll receive a full report on the makeup of your saboteurs.
Saboteurs start off as our guardians to help us survive the real and imagined threats to our physical and emotional survival as children. By the time we are adults, we no longer need them, but they have become invisible inhabitants of our mind.
Our Saboteurs’ patterns of thinking, feeling, and reacting become soft-coded in our brain through neural pathways. When these neural pathways are triggered, we are “hijacked” by our Saboteurs and feel, think, and act using their patterns. (Source: positiveintelligence.com)
