80 statements (ten per preference), about 15-20 minutes: the most extensive version of the model.
The real advantage: pairs of questions that measure the same facet from different angles (our consistency check). If your answers to a pair pull far apart, the result flags that preference as less reliable, something the short test (16 questions) or the standard (40) can't detect with so few items.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the full test and the short and standard versions?
The full version has 80 questions and takes 15-20 minutes; the short version has 16 questions; the standard has 40. All three measure the same four dimensions, at different levels of detail.
How long does the full test take?
Between 15 and 20 minutes: 80 statements, ten for each of the eight preferences.
Does this test replace the official MBTI® assessment?
No. This is an independent, informational test inspired by the same four-dichotomy structure. For the official assessment, visit The Myers & Briggs Company.
How is my four-letter code calculated?
Each of the 80 statements adds to a specific pole (E, I, S, N, T, F, J, or P); at the end, the accumulated score for each pair of poles is compared, and the dominant preference on each of the four axes forms your four-letter code, such as INFJ or ESTP.
What does it mean if a preference comes out “close” or “unclear”?
If, after all 80 questions, the difference between the two poles of an axis is still small, the test marks that letter as a close preference: it's a moderate tendency, not an extreme, and here it's a more reliable read than in the shorter versions since it's based on more items per axis.
