Tabulating your E-Type test
Section 1
Each answer corresponds to an E-Type code. For each question, match your answer with the code shown next to it, and place a tick mark in the corresponding box in the Tabulation Grid, below.
1. a = TE; b = BC
2. a = OA; b = SB
3. a = IO; b = BC
4. a = TE; b = AC
5. a = CT; b = SB
6. a = OA; b = IO
7. a = CM; b = BC
8. a = EH; b = OA
9. a = IO; b = SB
10. a = OA; b = AC

Section 2
In this True/False section of the test, only the “true” answers correspond to an E-Type code. So for each question that you answered “true,” match the question number with the code shown next to it, and place a tick mark in the corresponding box in the grid at right. If you answered false to a question, do not place a tick mark in the grid.
37. BC
38. AC
39. CM
40. TE
41.CT
42. EH
43. OA
44. AC
45. IO
46. SB
47. BC

53. EH
54. TE
Reading your results
Now add up the number of tick marks you have in each box. Which E-Type gets the highest number? Perhaps it’s a tie between two or even three E-Types? That’s okay—most of us are complex people, and have a variety of personality traits. Make a note of the “winning” E-Types, and read about them in the section that follows. You can also read about the other E-Types, and see how they mesh with your personality.
