personality test ?

A personality test is a questionnaire or other standardized instrument designed to reveal aspects of an individual's character or psychological makeup.
The first personality tests were developed in the 1920s and were intended to ease the process of personnel selection, particularly in the armed forces. Since these early efforts, a wide variety of personality tests have been developed, notably the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the MMPI, and a number of tests based on the Five Factor Model of personality, such as the Revised NEO Personality Inventory.
Estimates of how much the industry is currently worth are between $2 and $4 billion a year. Personality tests are used in a range of contexts, including but not limited to, individual and relationship counseling, career counseling, employment testing, occupational health and safety and customer interaction management.
