This page describes the actual version used by Personality Play, including its source, rules, and limitations. It is not a claim of validation or official affiliation.
This version contains 48 original project statements: 12 for each of four preference axes, with six keyed toward each side. They were drafted and edited with AI assistance. They are not copied from an official MBTI or OEJTS instrument.
The statements ask about usual preference and, on the decision axis, the consideration attended to first. Endorsing both sides is allowed. A net direction does not imply that the two underlying concerns cannot coexist.
Responses use five accuracy options, assigned values from 1 to 5. A positively keyed item contributes its selected value. A reverse-keyed item contributes 6 minus that value. Key direction comes from the versioned bank, not from guessing the wording.
Every final result requires all answers. We do not replace a missing answer with the midpoint. Scoring is deterministic and happens in the browser for free results; a paid checkout independently recomputes the same version server-side.
Each axis uses the centered sum D = Σ[key × (answer − 3)], ranging from −24 to +24. The positive-side display is 50 + 25 × D / 12. Positive directions are E, N, T, and J. The other side is the complementary coordinate, not an independent ability score.
A positive or negative integer sum gives the direction; an exact zero gives no letter. We also test whether changing one answer could reach or cross zero. This notice is arithmetic sensitivity, not test–retest reliability or statistical confidence. Letter decisions use the unrounded sum.
The material has undergone project editorial review and deterministic reference checks. Those checks examine item mapping, calculation, presentation states, and content coverage. They are not a professional psychometric review or a study of real participant responses.
The complete selected/adapted or original questionnaire has not yet been empirically validated. We do not claim an accuracy rate, population norm, official equivalence, diagnostic value, hiring suitability, or the ability to predict an individual’s future behavior.
Clear wording and usable pages do not solve every measurement limitation. Results are prompts to compare with your experience, and you may disagree with an interpretation. A later version may change items or rules; old paid reports retain the version used at purchase.
Free answers are stored only in the browser for this flow and can be cleared. Saving a summary image is optional. The site’s ordinary analytics follow its consent settings and must not include raw answers, score vectors, or personal report identifiers.
A separate paid action sends the answers to our server to verify the score for the order. The AI receives only the verified result and any optional context you choose to add, not the individual answers. Checkout shows the report provider and applicable privacy details before payment.
An AI interpretation discusses the existing result; it does not create new measurements. New paid reports are available for 12 months unless deleted earlier at your request. This retention rule applies only to the new products, not retroactively to older purchases.
The four-pair terminology describes the framework being discussed. The actual items, centered scoring arrangement, midpoint behavior, and profile copy are original Personality Play design decisions. IPIP’s five accuracy anchors were adopted as a response format, not as proof that this is an IPIP type instrument.
