Just as every person has differently shaped feet and toes from every other person, so we all have differently "shaped" personalities. Just as no person's foot shape is "right" or "wrong", so no person's personality shape is right or wrong. The purpose of this assessment is to make you aware of your strength & weakness. The following Questions are arranged in pairs (a and b), and each member of the pair represents a preference you may or may not hold. Rate your perference for each item by giving it a score of 0-Never,1-Seldom,2-Sometimes,3-Often,4-Very Often and 5-Always . If you indicate that you NEVER agree with Question 1a, it implies that you ALWAYS agree with the other member of the pair 1b. There are 32 pair of questions and it may take 10 to 15 Mins of your time. After Answering all the questions, click on the RESULT button to know the precious aspect of your personality.
