Results of Our Personality Tests: How to Properly Interpret Them

Let us begin by saying that the personality tests we designed are influenced by numerous factors, most of them subjective. Every person is different, and one of the purposes of psychological investigation is precisely to detect such differences, so as to provide a unique profile that is as fitting as possible.

Simplifying and summarizing the matter, we can state that there are five substantial factors that can affect the outcome of tests:

1. The age of the test-taker
2. Their cultural and experiential background
3. Their degree of open-mindedness
4. Their level of concentration and attention
5. Their degree of sincerity

The importance of open-mindedness

Open-mindedness serves as a fundamental prerequisite in all personality assessments, particularly in the awareness test, the awakening test, and the great personality test. By open-mindedness, we don’t merely mean a predisposition toward accepting others and embracing diversity, but rather the capacity to turn one’s gaze inward and acknowledge one’s own nature—with its limitations, idiosyncrasies, merits, and flaws. Openness to oneself first, and to everything else as a natural consequence.

It’s worth noting that the duality underlying our mind’s functioning tends toward division and separation—toward categorizing and polarizing opposites: inside-outside, good-evil, and so forth. However, this represents a mental and egoic illusion, as we’ll explore in the following section.

The outer world as a reflection of the inner world

Reality could be described, in philosophical-spiritual terms, as a reflection of our more or less conscious fears, hopes, and needs. Our inner landscape shapes our outer perception. Those who accept themselves and their limitations tend to perceive external reality more objectively, for better or worse. Meanwhile, those unaccustomed to exploring their inner depths often need to idealize and categorize the outer world to compensate for their lack of inner awareness.
During testing, this manifests as choosing answers that appear “right” or socially desirable rather than those genuinely felt by the individual. Our portal’s motto originates from this understanding, humbly attempting to guide readers toward introspection: γν῜θΚ σεαυτόν – nosce te ipsum – know thyself.

The interdependence of the five factors

Naturally, each of the five elements listed above is intimately connected to all others, to such an extent that we can define them as complementary. Age influences one’s wealth of experience and knowledge, just as these factors affect one’s degree of open-mindedness. In essence, all five factors are important, although age proves especially decisive, particularly when the test-taker is young.
As we proceed with our analysis, we’ll see how test results must always be contextualized within the user’s age group. We’ll provide customized interpretive frameworks for each major age range.

 

Mental Age Test: Interpretation of the result

mental age test logo

Link between mental age and biological age

This test occupies a space between serious psychological assessment and lighthearted exploration, suitable for people of all ages. The final score represents a snapshot of the test-taker’s current mindset. Notably, younger subjects—particularly adolescents—tend to provide more definitive and assertive answers than older individuals, often resulting in surprisingly high mental age scores.
This phenomenon shouldn’t be considered unusual. The test prioritizes chosen answers over biological age, explaining how a 12-year-old might achieve a mental age score surpassing that of a 60-year-old.
For example, when asked about illegal substances, one possible answer states: drugs are bad. While this response might seem characteristic of an elderly, somewhat cynical person, it’s more commonly selected by inexperienced youth than by those with deeper awareness of issues surrounding substance use.

The role of personal expectations

Older individuals frequently select particularly carefree answers, hoping to see themselves shed a few years mentally. This is where factor number 5 comes into play, namely the degree of sincerity of the individual. The complementary phenomenon of very young people trying to give particularly serious answers to appear more mature also comes into play. While we cannot control this tendency, we encourage you to answer with maximum transparency rather than providing caricatured or socially acceptable responses merely out of curiosity.

Additions and subtractions

Aware of these dynamics, we have incorporated diverse questions and answers so that anyone can both increase and decrease their score throughout the test. It’s important to understand that answers can add or subtract years. This approach creates a more balanced final result. If you provide a somewhat superficial answer typical of someone less experienced, you can compensate through subsequent questions and avoid being categorized as immature!

Awareness Test and Awakening Test: Interpreting the outcomes

awareness test logo awakening test logo

Foreword

In the use of these two unique instruments, the degree of open-mindedness and the level of attention play a key role, in addition to the age of the user. The responses are qualitative, reasoned; if read hastily and superficially they inevitably lead to modest scores.

General guidelines

The awareness and the awakening tests should therefore be taken with utmost concentration, striving to understand the meaning of each answer, though seemingly trivial, before making one’s choices. Regarding the open-mindedness rate, it should be specified that the test setting requires the user to possess a certain degree of maturity and inclination toward introspection. It is unlikely that a teenager under the age of 16 would be able to grasp certain nuances inherent in the questions and answers; so, it is advisable that younger individuals who wish to undertake these two assessments do so in the presence of an adult who can provide support and guidance throughout the process.

Advice for the time-pressed

Similarly, even an adult person accustomed to going about daily life on “autopilot” with little desire to get to the bottom of things would find these two tests hostile and uninteresting. If this is the case for you, our advice is to come back when you have an hour of time all to yourself, and only after you have emptied your mind of duties, responsibilities, and anything else that might push you to appear a certain way. Remember that giving quick, impulsive answers doesn’t usually lead to the best results, so take your time and think carefully before answering.

Authentic responses versus socially desirable answers

A common problem with all personality tests, or perhaps we should say all people, is that which lies in the difference between answers perceived as genuine and those perceived as socially desirable. Individuals who are particularly insecure, and who place a high value on other people’s opinions and appearances, as well as on the concept of “political correctness”, show a certain predisposition toward answers that are considered “appropriate”, but not necessarily perceived as authentic.

Let’s give an example; let’s look at the awareness test question about making judgments. We noticed that a lot of people choose this answer: judging is always wrong. But how many really feel that way? And how many, if they felt completely free from social conditioning, would rather pick this other option: we all make judgments, however, it is not necessary to externalize them (?).

If you feel that this may be the case for you, there’s no problem. Now that you’ve taken note of the issue, you might like to repeat our personality tests treasuring this new awareness, and you will see that the final result will be more interesting.

Interpreting your results

We assume that you have read the questions and answers carefully, that you have made your choices sincerely, and that your age is at least 16. If you are under 16 years of age, you should not be alarmed in case your score is low; it is perfectly normal. Come back and see us in a few years.

If you scored modestly, it means that:
Your consciousness remains in early stages of development, either because material concerns (work, finances, etc.) dominate your attention, or because you lack spiritual orientation and therefore believe—consciously or unconsciously—that human existence reduces to doing, consuming, and possessing. Essentially, you identify primarily with your actions, possessions, and measurable achievements. What’s missing is the dimension of Being and Feeling, without which the development of awareness beyond ego and sensory perception remains limited.

If you scored intermediate, on the other hand, it means that:
Your consciousness functions robustly and possesses significant potential for further expansion toward the infinite—particularly for those under 40. Beyond this age, consciousness shifts rarely occur spontaneously, though nothing in this domain can be stated with absolute certainty. This represents a one-way journey; once broader awareness is attained, regression becomes impossible. Moreover, spiritual progress requires shedding the superfluous—having less to be more. This explains why many individuals, whether consciously or unconsciously, settle for a more limited consciousness.

If your score is high, we can say that:
You embody the qualities of an astute observer—curious, seeking authentic meaning even in seemingly obvious circumstances. You experience a particular kind of dissatisfaction—not material, but spiritual in nature. Typically, this level of consciousness doesn’t arise accidentally but emerges as a consequence of deliberate personal choice. Since returning to unconsciousness isn’t possible, your trajectory appears established. This path must continue regardless of personal preferences; attempting otherwise means acting against your nature and will ultimately prove unsatisfying. If these statements seem peculiar or difficult to comprehend, your result may reflect chance or an attempt to identify “correct” responses rather than genuine insight.

SPHERES OF INTEREST (Awakening Test only)
Four distinct spheres of interest have been identified, each of which investigates a specific area of consciousness and behavior. These areas are not isolated but rather exhibit a certain level of interdependence. The score indicates the degree of advancement in that given field. Specifically, the spheres of interest concern:

Detachment
The antithesis of attachment is the ability to psychologically disengage from the material world, including objects, money, work, and affections. Indeed, interpersonal relationships are also subject to this process. The soul strives for the absolute, whereas most earthly relationships, based on kinship and mutual need, are inherently transient. Beware: when talking about attachment to objects, it should be understood that the issue is not the object itself (whatever it is), but the inner perception, whether conscious or unconscious, that we cannot live without it.

Disillusionment
Following an initial period of emotional distress, characterized by feelings of upset, denial and anger, individuals typically experience a subsequent phase of disillusionment. The ego resists and is reluctant to relinquish its illusions and false certainties. In contrast, the soul, which observes things from an unearthly perspective, gradually begins to dismantle everything that is no longer necessary.

Inconvenience
A life of comfort and leisure is not conducive to spiritual evolution and is incompatible with the process of awakening. Regardless of one’s personal beliefs, suffering can act as a catalyst for spiritual growth. Therefore, it is crucial to develop the ability to detach from the numerous conveniences offered by the consumerist society in which we live. This is a fundamental step towards attaining a renewed vision of existence.

Symptomatology
The process of soul awakening can manifest in a multitude of ways, some of which may be challenging to fully discern. We attempted to gather the most representative and typical ones from the initial and intermediate stages of the awakening journey.

The Great Personality Test: Analyzing the result

great personality test logo

Haste makes waste

As with our other assessments, attention and open-mindedness prove crucial. To provide meaningful responses, carefully read all options and reflect before selecting. Remember, these questions have no right or wrong answers—only choices that more accurately reflect your authentic self. Select options that most closely align with your genuine thoughts and nature.

How I am versus how I wish to be

Our observations about attention and open-mindedness lead to the eternal dilemma between authentic self and idealized self. Why does this occur? The answer is simultaneously straightforward and complex. We might simplistically blame society’s unrealistic and unhealthy models of perfection. Yet deeper examination reveals that humans naturally tend toward conformity with majority values. This creates a division between genuine feelings and perceptions versus socially prescribed thoughts and behaviors.

Reality versus Virtuality

Consider this example: When questioned about conscientiousness, many respondents provide impeccable answers suggesting remarkable responsibility and thoughtfulness in every action. Yet step outside, and you’ll observe widespread disregard for traffic regulations, smartphone distraction while driving mere inches from pedestrians and cyclists, impatience over trivial matters, and generally careless behavior potentially endangering oneself and others. Why this contradiction? Because in real-world contexts, people cannot maintain pretenses indefinitely—their authentic nature eventually emerges. In contrast, when alone before a screen, adopting an alternative persona becomes considerably easier.

If this description resonates with your experience, don’t worry—simply acknowledge this insight. When ready, revisit our test with this new awareness; your results will prove significantly more revealing.

Interpreting your results

We assume that you have read the questions and answers carefully, that you have made your choices honestly, and that your biological age is at least 10. If you are less than 10 years old, we recommend that you take the test again in the company of a parent and have them explain anything that you find unclear.

What is the psychic energy level?

A low psychic energy level indicates a mind inclined toward passivity and content with surface impressions—essentially a psychophysical energy conservation strategy typically accompanied by minimal Liveliness.

An intermediate psychic energy level describes a mind that engages effectively when necessary, addressing cognitive challenges willingly while also valuing opportunities to recharge.

A high psychic energy level characterizes a hyperactive, sometimes agitated mind—perpetually engaged, occasionally manic, and resistant to “disconnecting.”

Mental vigor influences physical disposition; those mentally less energetic typically prefer comfort, while “volcanic” minds readily embrace physical exertion, generally showing elevated Liveliness levels.

Personality description

Your personalized profile examines sixteen distinct traits: sociability, rationality, emotionality, perfectionism, liveliness, extroversion, conscientiousness, sensitivity, tolerance, creativity, sagacity, self-confidence, autonomy, spirituality, irony, and selfishness.

Our algorithm generates tailored descriptions for each trait, selecting from eighty different possibilities to create a comprehensive portrait.
All personality traits receive equal weight, with none predominating over others.

Unfitting description: What to do?

The Great Personality Test is designed to achieve maximum accuracy on the second and third attempts, so we strongly recommend that you repeat the test at least once. If you are satisfied with the result you can stop at the first run, while if you feel that the description of some traits is poorly fitting, you should repeat the test. With each new attempt you will be asked some new questions with the aim of investigating more deeply those traits that are not yet completely clear.

The Emotional Intelligence Test: Explanation of results

emotional intelligence personality test

First requirement: Honesty

Among all our personality tests, the emotional intelligence one is the most straightforward from a structural point of view. The questions are direct, and the answers are equally linear and easily understood. While this gives the user a more enjoyable experience, it does involve a major risk, which is that of providing answers that appear “correct” or “right” from a social and cultural perspective. Therefore, the user is asked for utmost sincerity while answering questions.

The paradox of self-awareness

All personality tests share a common challenge, though to varying degrees—what we might call the self-awareness paradox. On the one hand, character assessments must be able to delve into the user’s mind and emotions in order to identify his or her peculiarities and distinctive traits. On the other hand, however, they always rely on the user’s own subjective awareness. For this reason, some tests are developed in a deliberately intricate and brainy manner, with the goal of not letting the person understand what they are actually measuring. Indeed, it has been observed how all of us, when faced with a very direct and precise question, tend to give replies that are socially acceptable before they are sincere.

Take the test when feeling free and relaxed

For these reasons, approach this test in a completely relaxed state. We advise you to isolate yourself from others and not think at all about the tasks that will come later. Imagine yourself to be completely free from all commitments and duties; no one is watching or judging you. There is just you and the test. Base your choices on emotional responses to different statements rather than social expectations. If an answer doesn’t really appeal to you or doesn’t convince you, don’t choose it and move on.

The Emotional Quotient (EQ)

Final scores range from 0 to 100. Most individuals score between 40 and 60, with scores above 75 considered exceptional and below 25 notably low. High scores don’t indicate superior general intelligence but rather enhanced capacity to recognize emotions in oneself and others. Emotionally intelligent individuals might score average or below on IQ tests, while logically gifted individuals might struggle with emotional comprehension. This occurs because society places minimal value on emotional intelligence (EI), predominantly relying on basic emotional responses—evident in advertising and political discourse. Emotions, like logical abilities, require cultivation; most people remain too occupied with daily demands to engage in deep internal or external contemplation, explaining the relatively low collective emotional intelligence.

Understanding component percentages

EI is composed of five different interdependent elements, the integration of which shapes an individual’s overall emotional competence. There should be some balance among these components, even though in some cases it is possible that some are much more developed than others. Imbalance always denotes a lack of self-awareness about certain aspects, which is why it is a good idea to work on the weaker components. The test includes some advice developed specifically to improve each of the five components.

So don’t settle for a high overall score, but also consider the percentages related to self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Repeat the assessment if necessary, focusing on the questions related to the components in which you scored lowest. While taking the test, under each question you can see which component it refers to.

Logical Intelligence Test (IQ): What does the score mean?

logical intelligence test logo

Downplaying the importance of IQ

Let’s begin by acknowledging that intelligence assessments are, in our view, frequently overvalued—primarily due to Anglo-Saxon (particularly American) cultural influence in contemporary society. The American propensity for quantification occasionally verges on reductionism. While pragmatism itself represents a valuable orientation, extremes rarely serve us well.

IQ tests measure one part of so-called intelligence, and only that. As important as logical-mathematical skills may be, the human intellect is far more complex than that and cannot be measured altogether by a single questionnaire.

The purpose of intelligence testing

We offer this assessment for two reasons:
1) because it is fun;
2) because it is useful for training the mind.

Our intelligence assessment accommodates diverse participants, including children (we’ll explain age-based score adjustments later). Without time constraints, it allows thorough consideration of questions and careful response selection. This provides excellent preparation for examinations requiring logical-rational capabilities. Those seeking officially validated results can independently set a 20-minute timer and conclude upon its expiration.

Factors influencing IQ score

While perhaps self-evident, certain subjective elements significantly impact IQ scores: educational background, age, and familiarity with intelligence assessments. Science-oriented individuals naturally possess advantages, having developed logical-mathematical skills through regular application—though this doesn’t necessarily indicate greater intelligence.

Those with previous experience taking similar tests understand structural patterns and expectations, allowing more efficient navigation and enabling them to address more questions within the same timeframe.

Age constitutes another critical factor. Our assessment accommodates children as young as 10 years old. Let’s examine age-based score interpretation.

Age-based IQ assessment

The statistical mean of our logical intelligence test ranges from 85 to 115. This means that over 60% of the population, regardless of age, falls within this range. Now let’s find out how to relate (normalize) your score to the statistical mean according to your age.

If you’re 10-12 years old: multiply your score by 1.3. Example: Raw score 70 × Normalization factor 1.3 = Normalized score 91.

If you’re 13-15 years old: multiply your score by 1.2. Example: Raw score 70 × Normalization factor 1.2 = Normalized score 84.

If you’re 16-17 years old: multiply your score by 1.1. Example: Raw score 70 × Normalization factor 1.1 = Normalized score 77.

If you’re 18 or older: your score requires no adjustment.

The Youth Wisdom Test: Understanding the outcome

wisdom test original

Take your time

Like our other assessments, the wisdom test requires attention and patience. Thoroughly read and understand questions before reviewing response options. Consider all possibilities before selecting, rather than choosing the first reasonable-seeming answer when better options might exist.

Don’t search for “correct” answers

Approach this test calmly, enjoying the images and diverse response options. Avoid fixating on results; instead, savor the journey without a predetermined goal. This enhances enjoyment and engagement so thoroughly that time passes unnoticed. And naturally, you wouldn’t consider searching for answers online… would you? Where’s the fulfillment in that?

Age considerations

Since this test accommodates children between 9 and 15 years old, scoring cannot remain uniform across age groups. A 15-year-old possesses broader cultural knowledge than a 9-year-old; therefore, we’ve implemented an “age bonus” awarding additional points to younger participants, enabling them to achieve scores comparable to older individuals. After all, a fifth-grader can demonstrate wisdom equal to that of an eighth-grader!

Question categories

Questions fall within three macro-categories:
1. General knowledge and history
2. Individual maturity
3. Social maturity

General knowledge questions have singular correct answers, while the other categories present different perspectives rather than right/wrong options. A wise young person necessarily knows certain traditional proverbs, highlighting the importance of study, information-seeking, and curiosity.

Individual maturity questions examine introspective capacity—the ability to look inward and engage in self-dialogue. Social maturity questions explore relationships with others, empathetic understanding, and constructive communication. Truly wise individuals communicate effectively with others and make themselves understood. Interpersonal dialogue remains essential, as ancient Greek philosophers like Socrates frequently emphasized.

What do mythological deities represent?

Ancient Greeks attributed specific characteristics to each deity. From numerous gods, we’ve selected seven—sufficient to represent the wisdom spectrum. These gods weren’t uniformly virtuous but embodied the full range of human strengths and weaknesses. Dionysus, for instance, celebrated alcoholic beverages, indulgent feasting, and sensory pleasures, with little interest in wisdom acquisition. Conversely, Athena exemplified intelligence and versatility, inspiring humanity significantly.

Greek gods thus represent life examples, demonstrating virtue’s presence or absence, wisdom’s fullness or deficiency. In our hierarchy, Polyphemus occupies the lowest position—a liminal creature between human and divine realms. Zeus, father of gods and wielder of extraordinary powers, represents the pinnacle of wisdom.

What does a low score mean?

Low scores suggest either: 1) hasty, casual test-taking, or 2) substantial room for growth on your wisdom journey. In the first case, consider retaking the test with greater deliberation, carefully examining questions and options before selecting. In the second case, avoid discouragement—every challenging experience offers growth opportunities. Continue studying, but remember that wisdom requires curiosity and willingness to engage with the unfamiliar. Knowledge provides an excellent foundation but remains insufficient alone.

What does a high score mean?

High scores indicate promising development toward becoming a knowledgeable, balanced adult. You possess substantial cultural knowledge and analyze situations from non-obvious perspectives, striving for understanding rather than hasty judgment. Remember, however, that wisdom represents an ideal rather than an achievable endpoint—its pursuit continues indefinitely. Maintain humility and continue questioning even apparently self-evident matters. Follow Socrates’ example, who recognized his ignorance and therefore pursued knowledge and comprehensive understanding.
