check http://similarminds.com/ it seems to have good free tests and explanations. Alot of the personality test sites like to charge a fee.

thank you cellophane, that will help.

Also, how did you do that thing in your signature with the 1 underlined linked to your story? I think that would help me.

Well, mine is an 8, which is the Challenger:

Type Eight
The Challenger
The powerful, aggressive type. Eights are self-confident, strong, and assertive. Protective, resourceful, straight-talking, and decisive, but can also be ego-centric and domineering. Eights feel they must control their environment, especially people, sometimes becoming confrontational and intimidating. Eights typically have problems with their tempers and with allowing themselves to be vulnerable. At their Best: self-mastering, they use their strength to improve others' lives, becoming heroic, magnanimous, and inspiring.

In other words, I am a pushy broad! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

You can put hyperlinks in your signature using UBB code:

What is UBB Code?

The code for that link looks like this </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">What is UBB Code?[/code]</blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The signature field in your profile on accepts 250 characters, so multiple links won't fit.

Here's the link (assuming it works) to the Enneagram test (thanks stillwed). It will help you determine which personality type you are. Once you know your 'type' you can begin to learn about yourself...and that information is what you need in order to heal yourself and truly live life to it's fullest. I'm just starting to learn but have found it helpful so far.

Hi HfS,
Enneagram Institute
Myers Briggs Type Indicator

The Enneagram and MBTI are great tools for learning about yourself: habits, tendencies, healthy vs unhealthy states, how to grow and develop. My H and I learned so much about how we communicate, what we expect, what are 'issues' are from these... it's been amazing. I wish I'd found them years ago! (see my tag line...)

They've generated some really incredible discussions between H & I. I found it fascinating! Enjoy! - Dru

Another good test is the Kiersey. You can take it at www.advisorteam.com It gives simliar results as the Myers Briggs, which has been around for a LONG time and is widely accepted as a valid personality testing method. I got a lot out of it!
