Passing psychological tests is not only useful, but also very exciting. It is so interesting to learn something new about yourself and about your loved ones. In most cases, people do not go to professional psychologists for such tests, but find them in books or on the Internet. The latter method is currently becoming increasingly popular.
“How jealous are you?”, “What role do you play in a relationship?”, “What kind of person are you?” - These and similar tests are replete with an innumerable number of sites offering instant online testing on any matter of interest. It’s not difficult to find them: it’s enough to enter the combination of “psychology tests” or “psychological tests” in any search engine. You will be pleasantly surprised by the result, because now such tests are presented in large numbers on a wide variety of portals.
The main thing is to decide
Most often, psychological tests are divided thematically: the topic is determined by the ultimate goal of testing (a test to determine the character, personality, temperament, etc.) or the addressee (tests for men, women, children, family people, etc.). At first glance, it seems that all sites offer the same tests with the same questions. But in reality this is not entirely true. In addition to special sites devoted exclusively to psychological testing, tests can also be found on the sites of psychological centers. A feature of the latter is that the tests on such sites were worked out by specialists of these organizations and, having become interested in the test results, you can turn to professional psychologists for more information.
Without reference to authority
No matter how tempting the prospect is to clarify for yourself the dark side of the human soul in a couple of minutes, when choosing a site that hosts the test, you need to be careful. Unfortunately, many sites are mostly entertaining in nature, post low-quality tests (sometimes even written by users themselves), the results of which can be the most unpredictable. And who knows what the consequences of passing such a “test” will entail?
On sites that offer psychological online testing, you should first pay attention to the sources. Books, electronic resources that refer to professional psychological literature or directly to the specialists themselves should be indicated. It’s good if there is feedback on the site. Then all the questions regarding the authors of the test, the results and everything else can be written in writing to the creators of the site.
