You have to circle one letter from each of 4 pairs of opposing personality type indicators

This will result in a 4 letter code eg. E N T P

The code will be cross matched to one of 16 Simpsons characters with whom your personality is most closely aligned

Remember: choose words according to how you are, not how you want to be. That is , your instinctive responses or behaviours.

Choose only one word from each of the 3 opposing pairs; even if you feel you may be a little of both.

The total number of circles words should not exceed 3.
