Six-Type Personality Scale

The Six-Type Personality Scale measures one's personality as falling into one of six overall categories: 1) Political, 2) Economic, 3) Social, 4) Aesthetic, 5) Religious, and 6) Theoretical. The scale is based loosely on Spranger's Study of Values (SOV-U), updated to reflect more current and specific items. It consists of 28 questions and takes between 5 and 10 minutes to complete.
