Not a LS test: Keirsey Temperament Sorter

The Keirsey Temperament Sorter is an online personality temperament questionnaire similar to the Myers-Briggs Type (MBTI) Inventory. Like all personality inventories, it provides only a preliminary and rough indicator of personality preferences. You may use this online questionnaire as a starting point for students to recognise and appreciate individual differences, particularly as they pertain to effective teamwork.
