*The first name is the name I've given the type; the second is Keirsey's name.
We are also working on a parent/teacher test and that is not yet done either. :( Boo! But soon we will have it up! Until then, I have linked the title to Keirsey's test. This will give you your main type out of the four types. Here's the link to the test.
