The personality test is based on the four core ideas and the psychological dimensions introduced by Myers Briggs. You will also get to know which professions are best for you on the basis of the scores you get from the personality test (myers briggs types).

Such as, if Extroversion, which means a person likes to be outgoing and enjoy social gatherings have Introversion at the other side of the continuum.
