Types of Personality tekstovis: Personality tekstovis can be divided into two types. These are:

b)    tekstovis which try to explain the behaviour, motivation and thinking styles of people.

The examples of the first one are DISC and Myers Briggs and the examples of the second one are Maslow, McGregor, Adams Benziger and many others.


There are some projective tekstovis like TAT and Ink Blots which also try to assess the personalities of people but indirectly.

How to score in personality tekstovis? The scorings in personality tekstovis are done using either the dimensional approach or the typological approach.
