The 3D Personality Matrix

Identifying your personality type without a traditional personality test

Many classification systems rely on personality tests, some of which run over 100 questions long. 3DPersonality.com introduces a quicker method. Our website uses an interactive matrix to identify a person's type in each of the systems we feature. Rather than revealing all the nuances of your psychological profile that a formal test might uncover, our simpler approach will allow you to assess the fundamentals of who you are. An interactive matrix offers an easy way to determine a specific personality type without having to answer a long questionnaire. The following illustration shows the typical layout grid for a 3DPersonality matrix.

A 3D View of Personality

A single system gives you an insight into your personality by examining two dimensions: motivations and traits. By combining several systems, you can gain a three-dimensional view. Our goal is to present multiple systems so that you can pick the ones that best describe you. As you compare different schemes, you'll develop a multi-faceted understanding of what makes you YOU.

The next page in this Overview section explains the 3D Theory of Personality. It shows how a single system fits into the bigger picture. (You might be surprised to find how much larger the whole picture really is.) In the Personality Types section, you can read introductions to all the systems we cover, and then you can choose the ones that will reflect your personality best. And in our Real World Examples section, you'll see practical applications that put the theory of personality into practice.
