Test are up! Sort of...

So I was able to put something under the test page. There is a chart to look at to see which sounds the most like your child/student. We are making a more in depth test that will allow you to answer questions about your child/student and get an accurate assessment as to what type they are. Until then, there is the chart. I hope it can still help though! Here is the chart to look at.
