About this quiz
This is a free 10-question personality quiz that takes about a minute. Each question is a small everyday or work situation. Each of the five answers matches one Taoist archetype, drawn from the ways of living described by Laozi and Zhuangzi.
The five types are Water (the gentle harmonizer), Wind (the free spirit), Mountain (the calm observer), Wood (the honest craftsman) and Valley (the contented host). Each comes with your gifts, your blind spot, an original line from Laozi or Zhuangzi, and one thing you can try today.
Who it's for
- People who enjoy personality quizzes like MBTI and want an Eastern angle
- Anyone curious about Taoism who'd like an easy way in
- Friends and coworkers who want to compare
- Anyone wondering what pace of work and life suits them
Questions
Is it accurate?
It isn't a psychological test. It uses five ways of living from Laozi and Zhuangzi as a mirror for your current tendencies. Take it again in a different season of life and you might get a different result. That's very Taoist too.
How is this different from MBTI?
MBTI sorts personality along four dimensions. These types start from Taoist attitudes toward life. The point isn't to label you, but to show which way of living suits your nature, and which blind spot to watch for.
Is it free? Do I need to sign up?
