In-Depth Temperament & Character Test (TCI)
Your full profile across TCI theory's 7 dimensions (4 temperament + 3 character) ยท 28 questions ยท Free
TCI (the Temperament and Character Inventory) reads a person in two layers. First the four temperament dimensions you were born with โ Novelty Seeking, Harm Avoidance, Reward Dependence and Persistence โ the reflexes that fire before you have decided anything. Then the three character dimensions experience builds on top of them: Self-Directedness, Cooperativeness and Self-Transcendence.
The quick version covers the temperament layer only. This one covers all seven, with four questions per dimension for 28 in total, and returns a percentage and a short reading for each. The character half is the more interesting one, because none of it was handed to you at birth โ which makes those three scores less a verdict than a mirror, a look at how far you have actually come. Allow about five minutes.
New to all of this? Start light with the 12-question temperament test and come back for the full profile. This test is our own material inspired by TCI theory; it is not the official TCI inventory and it does not replace a professional assessment. If you need a formal one, please go to a qualified practitioner.
Who it's for
- Anyone who took the quick temperament test and immediately wanted more depth
- Anyone who wants to see the wiring they were born with separately from the character they have built
- Anyone curious about TCI who is not ready to book a formal assessment
