The IDR Labs personality test is a series of 105 questions that ask you to reflect on your life, your social interactions, and your internal thoughts. Your answers help the quiz determine which of the 15 personality styles you most closely reflect, and you can even get multiple results. However, this test differs from your typical Myers-Briggs test, as this test determines what personality disorders you may have. Let’s say just say this may be the first test you don’t want to score a 100% on.
If you’re interested in taking the test yourself, you can find it here. Below is a breakdown of the 15 personality disorders. *The Zillennial Zine team are not mental health professionals. Please seek professional guidance for more infomation.
